Check out these Five Hilton Head golf ideas from the award-winning Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy 

1. Kids' Private Golf Lessons – Kids 3-years and up learn to be competent, confident golf players with proper etiquette. We use songs and videos to teach excellent habits and how to help the balls fly to the target.

2. Ladies' Private and Group Lessons - This comfortable and gracious environment promotes effortless power with low-stress golf swings. This is a huge confidence builder.

3. Men's Private Lessons - The most confident man can be easily frustrated by the game of golf. The harder you try, the worse you do. A private lesson can pinpoint where his game needs help and refresh his love for golf.

4. Play with the Pro - Learn as you go! Spending time on the course with one of our Golf Pros is an excellent way to unlock a frustrated golfer or elevate anyone's game. It's a holistic approach, using the environment and simple fundamentals to revitalize the student’s game.

5. Family Golf Lessons - Together is a theme for 2025! Come laugh, celebrate and create memories with take home photos and videos.
