Many regard the George Fazio Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort as the most challenging golf course in Hilton Head, SC. The George Fazio Course is ranked among the nation's top 100 courses.

The Fazio golf course demands a combination of long play and precise golf shots.

This course is just that bit stupidly long - the white tees are just long enough to make it less of a pleasure to play, and the Trent Jones is so much better. The course is not particularly attractive either. i would not recommend and not play it again.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend this course, Average course for the area, Expensive, but not worth it

I especially like the back nine. Some beautiful holes, though overall, not as beautiful as the Robert Trent Jones course in Palmetto Dunes (that's the prettiest in that resort). Nevertheless, I like the Fazio course overall. It is long, and a number of the greens (especially on the front nine) are domed making them very difficult to hit and hold. Can be frustrating. You'll enjoy it overall though, and the pace of play is usually better than the Jones or Hills courses in Palmetto Dunes Resort. No driving range on which to warm up on though.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

We were there for two months. The three courses at Palmetto Dunes all played well for $47 during Jan and for $55 in Feb. Well worth the visit. Played a total of 22 rounds at their three courses. This one is the flatest. Nice but not as scenic as the other two.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
