I am a high handicapper (31) and recently played the May River Course with a caddie, Billy. I had such a great time. Billy was fantastic and knew more about my game than I did. I learned enough about my game from him to shave off a couple strokes since then. He was patient, informative, and made me feel totally comfortable. The course itself is beautiful, perfect for people like me who enjoy walking. As a woman and a high handicapper, I don't always feel completely at ease on an away course, but Billy and the rest of the staff (pro shop, bar outside) made me feel right at home. With every penny. Great day of golf and I can't wait to go back!

This was my first time playing Hilton Head National and I already look forward to the next time. Beautiful course, excellent condition, fairways as smooth as some other course’s greens. Being a high handicapper and infrequent golfer, I was looking for a course that was not crowded with condos and houses so this course was just perfect for me. Pace was good, staff was very friendly and everyone I spoke with had high praise for the condition and beauty of the course. I plan to return next year for family vacation and this will be on our list of places to play. Thanks to all who keep this one of the top places to play in the Hilton Head area.
