Real golfers. Real reviews.

This is the island's #1 golf course. I usually play RTJ a couple of times a year (as much as I can when in town from Pittsburgh) and while HHI has many nice courses, the extraordinary customer service is what sets RTJ apart from the others. Between Mark Sansone, Jim, Bobby, Roger (and/or all of the professionals I've ever encountered here), I've only experienced the utmost level of professionalism and friendliness. All of this is before you even step foot on the first tee box. The course is always in fantastic shape, and designed in a challenging yet fun layout. The best hole on the island at any course is #10 with sweeping ocean views that begin from the tee box. It's worth mentioning that pace of play has never been an issue- to the extent that there have been times when I've never had to wait for a single swing despite the parking lot being full- this is a feat of accomplishment for a course this beautiful, well-staffed and well-managed. Highly recommended. Looking forward to returning as soon as possible. Big shout out again to the excellent staff at this course.
Super friendly staff. Private club feel. Excellent shop. Some holes are challenging but interesting.
It was so beautiful~~ Best course in hilton head south carolina
