This course has recently been completely renovated by renowned golf course architect, Pete Dye, who also designed Harbour Town Golf Course. A gentleman I met last week had just played the course and described it to me as “spectacular”. I couldn’t agree more.

The course played a little long for me, but for longer hitters it shouldn’t be too bad. The fairways are visually stunning, with lots of bunkers and mounds making for some very interesting lies. The greens are relatively small, hard and fast but very true. Every hole offered something unique and special, whether it be a lagoon or strategically placed fairway bunkers or large traps guarding the green, something caught your eye.

The staff at Heron Point was extremely good and the whole event proved to be a delightful experience for me and I’m sure for all involved also. All in all, this would have to be considered a must play for anyone visiting Hilton Head.

The Golf Goddess and I had another great day of golf on Daufuskie Island. This time we got to play Bloody Point Golf course. I had heard a lot about this course, some good and some bad. The layout reminded me a lot of an old fashioned course, with no concrete or other man made cart paths. Traversing this course was easy if you just followed the trails left by all the previous golf carts.

 There are some very interesting holes here with plenty of sand and water to keep you on your toes and thinking about the smart shot rather than the heroic one. Although not as scenic and well groomed as Melrose, Bloody Point still has a lot to offer. The course is challenging  but not overly difficult and is fun to play.

In comparison to the rustic nature of the golf course, the huge clubhouse is the polar opposite. Outside, there is a large porch on the back with tables and chairs. Inside, you immediately notice the lush dark woods on the walls and the beautiful carpeting. A well stocked Pro Shop with friendly staff and a nice lounge make for a relaxing 19th hole atmosphere.

This course, in my opinion, should be a must play in your golf package. Call Mark at 1-888-445-8664 to arrange packages or check our golf website for more information.

Hilton Head Golf~Bloody Point

Rarely do I par more then the par 3’s, but yesterday I parred a couple of par 4’s and a couple of par 5’s, so it leads me to believe that the yardage was shorter than most. The greens were in great shape yet very difficult to read.  If I thought the ball would go straight, it broke, and if I thought it broke, it would be straight!!

I also noticed that a lot of the white tee’s were right next to the forward tee’s, so not much of an advantage for anyone playing the whites, I may have even beaten the Par King if he was able to play yesterday. 

So the long and short of it is, I enjoyed the course and found it short for the long hitter from the forward tee’s, but I was happy with making par on a few of the holes.

The staff was friendly and courteous. I would also like to say that it took only approximately 20 minutes to arrive at Eagle Pointe from my home in Palmetto Dunes. So if you’re looking for a course that is in fantastic shape and a pleasure to play, Eagle Pointe has my vote.
