The Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is gearing up to host the Lighthouse Invitational, a premier amateur golf tournament, from March 2 to March 5, 2025. This event promises to be a spectacular showcase of golfing talent, featuring three of the island’s top-ranked courses: Heron Point by Pete Dye, Atlantic Dunes by Davis Love III, and Harbour Town Golf Links.
A Premier Golfing Experience
The Lighthouse Invitational is a two-person team competition open to both men and women amateurs. Participants will play one round at each of the three courses, offering a unique opportunity to experience the diverse challenges and beauty of Hilton Head Island’s golfing landscape. The tournament will include an opening night reception, a putting contest, scheduled receptions and dinners, daily breakfast and box lunches, unlimited range privileges, practice rounds, a tee gift package, and an awards ceremony.
Lighthouse Invitational Courses
- Atlantic Dunes, designed by Davis Love III, is a seaside course that has won the NGCOA National Course of the Year Award. With a pronounced Lowcountry feel, it features coquina shells and seaside grass, providing a unique golfing experience.
- Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, designed by Pete Dye in consultation with Jack Nicklaus, is ranked among the top 25 resort courses in the U.S. by Golfweek and listed among Golf Digest’s Top 100 Public Courses. Known for its finesse, imagination, and shot-making demands, Harbour Town is home to some of the finest par 3s in the world and the feared 18th hole.
- Heron Point, also designed by Pete Dye, offers a challenging layout with risk-reward long and short holes, moving fairways, and Dye’s signature mounding and swales. This course is a must-play for golfers seeking a test of their skills and strategic thinking.
Accommodations and Amenities
Participants in the Lighthouse will stay at The Sea Pines Resort for three nights, with preferred discounted rates available at The Inn & Club at Harbour Town or two-bedroom deluxe villas in Harbour Town. The resort offers a range of amenities, including five miles of unspoiled beaches, 20 clay tennis courts, 14 miles of bike and walking trails, horseback riding, water sports, and the 605-acre Sea Pines Forest Preserve.
