Sea Pines Resort (Harbour Town)

Sea Pines Resort (Harbour Town) is a resort where the course is the headline act in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It is best from spring through fall.

Tee times are open to the public, though the good ones go fast. Green fees run ~$450 (Harbour Town). The property offers on-site lodging, which shapes how we build the days around it.

Harbour Town's lighthouse hole is one of the most photographed in golf, and it's public — no member sponsor required, just a tee time. No. 95 on our list, and one of the better buddies-trip options on the East Coast that also works for couples.

Spring through fall plays best on Hilton Head, and on-site lodging keeps a mixed group together easily.
