We go to HHI every August. My DH and DS golf at Hilton Head National and make their tee times when we get there. You can make them a few weeks before you go but we have never had a problem. They stick with HH National because the have a reduced rate for kids (my son is 13), and I can't see paying full price for him to golf. There are so many other golf courses but this is the only one I have any experience with. Have fun!!
