I loved when I saw this article; it’s hard for me to believe Harbour Town doesn’t rank #1, but I guess if you place 2nd to anyone, The Masters at Augusta National makes complete sense.

The annual Heritage Golf Tournament holds a special place in many people’s hearts.  I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I was thrilled when the tournament found another sponsor last year allowing the PGA to continue to play in Hilton Head.

Wondering what other courses topped the list?  See the full article below…

Happy New Year from Hilton Head!  The holidays are over and it’s back to business on our blog!

Spring is just around the corner and that means that there are lots of activities and things to do on Hilton Head Island.

One of the upcoming events that keeps getting bigger and bigger on Hilton Head is Restaurant Week.  Restaurant Week is scheduled to begin January 21st and runs through January 28th.  Many local restaurants participate and offer menus so you can sample their fare.

More restaurants continue to add their menus; check out where you can dine here!

There’s something missing on Hilton Head Island this year as the holidays approach; last year marked the final year for the beautiful Dove Street lights in North Forest Beach.

Unfortunately, with the ending of the Dove Street lights, Deep Wells contributions have also taken a dip.  So if you are looking for a great  charity to help with this holiday season, consider The Deep Well Project.

Our area continues to grow!  Find out about a new activity center opening in Bluffton soon…
