Great courses. Beautiful property out away from the city. Good food and service. The only complaint is some of the marshalls badgered us for being behind on time when we were ahead of the next group by an entire hole. We were enjoying our round and holding no one up, pacing ourselves conscientiously, but they kept on harassing us to meet their time expectations with no acknowledgement that we were way ahead of the trailing group. Eventually, we pushed them to explain why we needed to pick up the pace. Alas, they had no answer and apologized and left us alone for the rest of the round.

The golf course is in great shape. There is a little bit too much of a corporate vibe however. I played on July the 2nd in a scattered thunderstorm popped up and passed about 10 miles away. There was thunder in the distance and no lightning to be seen. We were removed from the golf course and waited at the clubhouse until 7:00 in the evening. At that time we were told the golf course was closing. I was not offered any kind of a rain check or refund for the holes that we did not get to play.

I have played five other courses on the RTJ trail in Alabama. They were all Great experiences. I don't know what happened here, but it was the worst few rounds of golf I have ever played. On the first day we were set to play the short course, when my son and I arrived at the tee box, there was someone teeing off at our tee time. I asked the Marshall and he said everybody's a little behind. I said okay no problem. Well the guys teeing off took more than ten minutes to finish the hole. There are so many things that went wrong, I would highly recommend that you find somewhere else to play!!!

It was our first time visiting Hilton Head and RTJ Golf Trail, and to say it was anything less than extraordinary would be an understatement. From the moment we stepped into the facility to request our tee time to the ocean views to the driving range, everything was spectacular! The service especially was impeccable; Shayne was courteous, professional and helped make the experience memorable. 12/10 would recommend this stunning course!
