About Us & The Course

Sea Pines Country Club (Hilton Head Island, SC) is a premier, private member-owned club. Our 18-hole championship course was originally designed by Arnold Palmer, enhanced by Clyde Johnston, and recently re-imagined by architect Phil Smith. The agronomy department operates with a $2.4M+ budget and an elite 16-member crew, managing ultra-dwarf TifEagle greens and overseeded Celebration fairways. We pride ourselves on maintaining exceptional course conditions and fostering a culture of cutting-edge professional growth.
