The George Fazio Course was constructed with the help of his nephew, fellow course-designer, Tom Fazio. To truly test your golf skills, play a round at The Arthur Hills Course, recently named Course of the Year in South Carolina.

Private and Semi-Private Clubs:

• Arthur Hills
  • The architect took full advantage of the natural dunes and created a rolling layout with dramatic elevation changes, to make it a visual treat for all golfers.
• George Fazio
  • With just two par-fives on the course, Fazio has designed a layout where the front nine features open, tree-lined fairways and the back nine becomes tighter and more severe
• Robert Trent Jones
  • The oldest course at Palmetto Dunes and is a long-time favorite on the island. This facility features an extensive lagoon system which winds through the course impacting play on eleven holes. Add some of Jones’ seemingly patented bunkers and large, well-bunkered greens and you’ve got plenty of good golf ahead of you here.
