Overview

Located just off Hilton Head Island near Bluffton, Hampton Hall is an early 2000s Pete Dye design that winds out through a residential development with holes that border lagoons, wetlands and tracts of Lowcountry woods, the first nine circling clockwise and the second turning outward and back in the opposite rotation. It differs from most courses in the region in that the fairways are wide rather than constricted and the greens are prodigious and heavily contoured. Dye was reportedly ill during much of the construction process and wasn’t able to provide his usual detail and shaping oversight. When designer Nathan Crace was hired in 2022 to work on the course drainage, resurface the greens and renovate the bunkers, he discovered Dye’s forgotten hand-drawn sketches for each hole in the two relief stations. He used these to, in effect, complete the detailing Dye couldn’t originally get in the ground. These restorations included adjusting green dimensions and bunker depths, adding a fairway bunker on the third hole that Dye regretted not building and remodeling a long waste bunker on 18 to make it more visible from the tee.
