Hilton Head trip in October. Any tips?

[jpasiczn]

I am going on a short 4 man trip to Hilton Head Island the 2 weekend of October (1 week before my wedding, bachelor weekend!!). We are staying at a family friend's condo on the Sea Pines Ocean course. We'll probably play there a few times, but would like to explore more than just 1 course. Looking for up to 5 or 6 "must see" courses.
Anyone been down to Hilton Head before? What are some good courses down there? We are looking for courses that have nice design, but also are a good value and can be fun for games inherent to a 4 man trip.
Any recommendations would be great. There are just too many courses to choose from down there!!

If I were you, I would take the ferry out to dafuskie island and play the two courses there called "Melrose" and Bloody Point"

They were awesome!

I also played Hilton Head National, Session and Berkley Hall.

Pick up the Hilton Head Golfers Guide when you get there... it is a 6x4 guide of all the courses in the area... but most importantly it typically has a 2 for 1 coupon for the ocean course.

Th best value on the island with fun courses is at Palmetto Dunes... Fazio course is my favorite of the three.

Also... Hilton Head National is a must play. There are a couple other courses right by Hilton Head National (I think Palmer & Watson designs) that have great rates and are great courses... their names escape me at the moment.

Palmetto Dunes has a nice course with a couple ocean front holes and very nice.

If you want a cheap fun morning of golf Old Carolina Golf Club in bluffton right of the island has 9 holes for $10 if you start early like 8 or 9 but does not have great greens.

my family used to have a time share for a week at palmetto dunes, and then the week after at Port Royal(i think thats what it was called). it was 15 years ago, but I loved the golf down there. Courses were beautiful. My parents bought a house about an hour north of Hilton Head at a course called Dataw Island. The courses just seem to be that much nicer in that area. sure wish i could find a job down there, I'd move in a heartbeat.
