Is it just me, or do the green fees seem to vary wildly depending on the day? I’ve seen courses like Ocean Course at PPP jump from $130 to $180 on weekends. Crazy!
True! It’s like a golf rollercoaster! If you can play during the week, you’ll definitely save some bucks.
I wonder how many visitors actually know about seasonal discounts? They’re quite popular here and can sometimes knock off 20% or more from fees!

I think the best time to play in Hilton Head is definitely in the spring or fall. The temperatures are milder, and the courses are usually in great shape after the maintenance schedules. What’s everyone else’s experience?
I agree! Late summer can be really hot and humid. I had a game in August once, and I thought I was going to melt on the course!
Definitely avoid playing in the summer if you’re sensitive to heat. The humidity can be brutal, and the courses are often packed with tourists. Spring and fall not only have better weather, but there are often fewer crowds too.
That’s so true! The course maintenance schedules also affect playing conditions. I remember playing at Sea Pines right after aeration, and it was a bit of a challenge.
I’ve played Hilton Head in both summer and winter. Winter is surprisingly mild, but some courses have reduced hours. Spring is my favorite, as everything blooms and the greens are in prime condition. Just watch out for that pollen!
Spring sounds great, but I’m a little curious about the fall. Is it still a good time to play, or are the course conditions less reliable due to potential storms?
Fall is actually pretty nice! Just keep an eye on the weather forecasts. A little rain can be refreshing, but you don’t want to get caught in a storm.
I once got stuck in a rain delay at one of the courses in the fall. It was hilarious watching everyone scramble for cover! But the post-rain air is so nice to play in. Definitely worth the gamble!
That sounds like a fun story! I think the unpredictability can add a little spice to the game. Just ensure you have a good weather app handy!
Great tips everyone! I plan on taking a trip next month. I just hope the weather holds up. If it rains, should I aim for indoor activities instead, or are there places where I can still practice my swing?
