Everyone loves an island getaway. With Hilton Head, South Carolina, you not only get to get away, but you also experience southern charm at its best. Hilton Head has 42 square miles of semi-tropical landscape, and over 50 miles of public pathways and nature trails. It is warm year-round by the Gulf Stream and temperatures stay mild in the 70’s. The island has its own airport as well as a bridge that connects to the mainland, with access so simple there is no reason not to explore. For active vacationers the island offers many amenities. 

One of the biggest attractions to Hilton Head are the golf courses. There are over 30 different championship courses and 24 are open to the public. One country club, Bear Creek, is a signature course designed by Rees Jones. It is designed for both carts and people who enjoy walking their rounds of golf. A nice benefit of the course is no tipping is expected. You can enjoy your time at Bear Creek and not have to worry how much you should be paying a person helping you out. Once you have built up an appetite enjoy dining at the clubhouse or the outside on the veranda, which is open for lunch and dinner.
