May River Golf Club at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina, is a Jack Nicklaus design that opened in 2004. It sits on a 20,000-acre preserve between the May and Cooper rivers, in a setting of live oaks, salt marsh and tidal creeks. The course was built with no cart paths, so the corridors read as continuous turf from tee to green, and the routing was laid out to protect the existing oak stands rather than clear them. Fairways are wide, the bunkering is sandy and shallow in places, and the greens are large. Several holes finish alongside the marsh with the river beyond. Walking with a caddie is the standard here, and pace and quiet are part of the experience. Access is for club members and guests of the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort.

Hilton Head National Golf Club sits in Bluffton, about a mile from the bridge to Hilton Head Island, and opened on November 1, 1989. It is a split design, with the front nine by Bobby Weed and the back nine by Gary Player. The holes run among live oak hammocks and preserved Lowcountry wildlife areas that were kept intact as part of the layout. The two nines reflect their different designers, so the round shifts in character at the turn rather than following one architectural hand. Water and wetland margins come into play throughout without dominating the test.
