I am planning a golf trip for myself and 3 buddies and the best location for most of us will be Sea Island, GA. My friends will be driving from Tampa, FL and I am flying into Jacksonville so we can start the trip off with a round at TPC Sawgrass before heading to Sea Island. I would like to do 3 rounds in Sea Island then play the Harbor Town golf course in Hilton Head. 5 rounds in 4 days.

Does anyone have some recommendations on resorts or should we just get a hotel and play the nice courses? Is it possible to play Sea Island Golf club without staying there? Not really worried too much about costs, just need to know if anyone has done it and what the ideal spots are.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'm pretty sure you have to stay at Sea Pines to play Harbour Town. I stayed and played there twice last year and it was fantastic. Rent one of their condos, its alot chiller with a group that way. Im not 100% sure but it never hurts to call the pro shop just to check.

I know where I live, You have to stay on property at Pinehurst Resort in order to play #2 but you can play the other 8 courses with out being a resort guest.

Thanks for the tips. 

We ended up deciding on Orlando since it will be warmer and flights are dirt cheap.

When we went to Harbour Town in 1989, we stayed in condos at Sea Pines, and you are right, it is the way to go.  God, I wished we had bought a condo on the Ocean that was selling for $90,000.  It is probably worth $600,000+ now.  I wish that I had not posted that.  I am going to my room to cry, and then to my favorite 19th hole to have a few drinks to forgetaboutit!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
