A place we like to go whenever we are at our Seaside location (South End). While the menu is fine we specifically go for the margaritas and pork belly tacos! Inside/outside dining/bar.

Golf Courses
One of my go-to courses to play, can often find a good deal on GolfNow.com. 27 Hole layout, often with plenty of gators to see as you make your way around the course (there are a couple big 'uns out there).
These are some of my favorites but you really can't go wrong with any of the courses on the Island!

One of my go-to's - likely not found on GolfNow.com so go to dolphinheadgc.com to book a time. Fair course that allows you to get as aggressive as you choose to be. Great view of Port Royal Sound from the left side of hole #14.
Dolphin Head is located within Hilton Head Plantation, a gated community which also hosts two other courses... Bear Creek & Oyster Reef. All are independent from each other. All are nice. Oyster Reef has a Par 3 that is worth paying the often extra price at least once. You will know it when you see it! Bear creek is a typical HHI course and is enjoyable to play.

Two 18's, conveniently located near our Legends location (airbnb.com/rooms/48972372). There is the Arthur Hills and the Robert Cupp courses. Saw my first bald eagle on the first on AH, the Cupp course has an interesting feature which is a square green on the back nine. Both courses are nice and different enough from each other to make you want to play them both.
Like their sister course, Dolphin head, not likely to find them on GolfNow.com so go to palmettohallcc.com to find tee times. Can often find a deal here.

Barony is the 18 I like to play on a regular basis. Easier of the two course (IMO) but fantastic layout with plenty of challenge for my 12 index. The other 18 at Port Royal is called Robbers Row and is a little more challenging.
Fun fact, our Legends location (airbnb.com/rooms/48972372) backs up to the old 3rd course (now closed) that was called Planters Row.

Actually located just off the Island, this is a course with a great name, great layout, great views and often great deals. The course is a good challenge when the wind is down. While we, as golfers, often check for rain before we book something, I also check to see how strong the wind is going to be because it is more exposed than most of the courses on HHI.

If you need golf/tennis supplies for your stay, you may want to stop here to load up before you get on the Island. Located in Bluffton, you will see it on your left as you drive down 278. That will save you from having to travel off the Island once you get settled in.
