Played Robert Trent Jones this past summer, it was only my 4th time playing golf and boy did we lose a lot of balls. But now I shoot low hundreds and sometimes break 100. I’m heading back down this upcoming summer so looking to get my skills improved before hand.
Harbor Town Golf Links does not have multiple courses.

I love oyster reef.
For me, and I've played every public course in the HHI/Bluffton area, the top 5 is as follows
Atlantic Dunes (in Harbor Town)
Harbor Town Golf Links
Oyster Reef
RTJ in Palmetto Dunes
Old South/Hilton Head National – both off the island, but both are incredible for the money and very fun
A few shout outs; if you ever have the chance to play a course called Riverton in Okatie/Hardeeville, for my money (and this is a private course), this may be the best layout in the area out of any course; HHI or surrounding.
Another shout would be Crescent Pointe in Bluffton. This also has one of the most interesting layouts by far in the area, however its overall quality will be lacking, but for me, the layout is so vastly different than everything else, you have to check it out.
Have played a few of the private courses; Longcove, Country Club of Hilton Head, Belfair, and Berkley Hall (need to play Colleton River!!), these courses are great and all, but they are not much different from the "good" public courses, just my two cents.
Hope this helps anyone visiting the area!
FYI, all our golf courses are open year round! 😁 Also Trent Jones is a tourist course.. Arthur Hills is much better.
