Bluffton, South Carolina
Montage Palmetto Bluff is a resort where the course is the headline act in Bluffton, South Carolina. It is best from spring through fall.
Access runs through the resort — book the stay and the course comes with it. Green fees run ~$300 (May River). The property offers on-site lodging, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Palmetto Bluff pairs a Jack Nicklaus design with a Lowcountry setting built for a slower pace — this is a resort trip first, golf trip second, for the right group. No. 94 on our list.
Spring through fall is the window in South Carolina, and it's a strong fit for a couples' trip or a small executive retreat given the level of service.
