The premise is simple: play four quality courses across Hilton Head and the Bluffton mainland, sleep at a budget property that keeps the per-night cost under $100, and save the resort premium for another trip or redirect it to green fees. The four courses here carry designers named Player, Weed, Cobb, Hills, Holt, and Johnston. The combined green fees for all four rounds, at the lower end of each range, total less than a single round at Harbour Town.

Trip at a Glance
Fly into Savannah/Hilton Head (50 to 60 minutes) or drive in from the regional highway network. Check into Hampton Inn Hilton Head ($88 to $175 per night), which sits adjacent to Palmetto Hall and provides free hot breakfast, free parking, and a functional base.
A two-round day covering one mainland course and one island course, grouped for geographic efficiency. Start with an early tee time at Hilton Head National Golf Club in Bluffton.
Palmetto Hall sits adjacent to the Hampton Inn, which keeps the morning logistics simple. Arthur Hills and Spencer Holt designed Palmetto Hall - Arthur Hills Course in 1991 through heavily wooded terrain, and the forested corridors provide a contrast to the marsh and water landscapes of the previous two days.
Check out and drive to Savannah/Hilton Head for departure. For groups with a late flight, a morning stop at Crescent Pointe Golf Club in Bluffton ($34 to $74) adds a fifth round at the lowest green fee in the area.

Plan the Practicalities
Hampton Inn Hilton Head is the most practical base: adjacent to Palmetto Hall, positioned near the bridge for mainland course access, and priced with free breakfast that knocks one meal off the daily cost. Red Roof Inn Hilton Head Island offers an even lower nightly rate for groups that prioritise green fees over lodging amenities. A rental car is essential for the bridge crossings and airport transfer. All four primary courses sit within 20 minutes of the Hampton Inn. No Sea Pines gate fee applies for any of the four rounds, though the optional Harbour Town Lighthouse visit on Day 2 requires it.
