Real golfers. Real reviews.

As a combination birthday/Christmas present, I received an opportunity to receive golf lessons to be taken at a place of my choice. I investigated various places and decided to select the program at the Arthur Hills Golf Academy at Palmetto Dunes, under the direction of PGA professional Doug Weaver. It was easy getting and setting the days and times that were convenient for me. I dealt directly with Doug. I found Doug to be easy going and comfortable over the phone and looked forward to meeting him in person. I shared with Doug that I needed to work on all parts of my game as I had been going on golf outings for years making little progress. Before my lessons (three, two hour lessons over the course of three days) I was given a bucket of balls to hit on the driving range, near where the lessons would be held. I later learned that in doing so, it provided Doug with an opportunity to see what he would be working with. He was always calm, yet clear in showing me proper techniques and remained calm as I worked to replicate those same techniques. He took many photos/videos of me when I wasn’t using the proper techniques to point out what I was improperly doing and many when I did the particular action correctly so I would know what it should look like. We also took videos of him demonstrating how it should be done. He used my phone to capture those photos so I could study them once away from the lessons. He employed many amusing analogies and sayings to complement and punctuate the teaching. I was able to work with Doug on days 1 and 3. I worked with a different instructor on day 2 because of scheduling and I found him to be competent and easy to work with as well. Overall, my lessons and subsequent results and experiences exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Arthur Hills Golf Academy at Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head South Carolina to anyone seeking to improve their golf game. I look forward to returning there sometime in the future.
Murph was an outstanding golf marshal—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. He went out of his way to assist a player and kept things running smoothly on the course. Really appreciated his positive attitude and professionalism.
Awesome! Loved the course and the staff were all great! One of my favorite courses in Hilton Head.
Murphy the starter—ah now, there’s a lad who sets the tone afore ye’ve even had a proper swing, aye. Roll up to the course and there he is, cool as a breeze off the Highlands, greetin’ ye like he’s known ye since ye were knee-high. None o’ that stiff, uptight nonsense—nah, Murphy’s got the whole thing runnin’ smoother than a well-poured dram. Tee times movin’ along nice and easy, but ye never feel like he’s chasin’ ye down the fairway with a stick. And I swear by the old gods, the man’s got a sixth sense for the game. Spaces the groups just right, keeps the pace from turnin’ into a right mess, and slips in a bit o’ advice like he’s lettin’ ye in on a secret. Busy day? Handled. Quiet mornin’? Even better—feels like ye’ve got the whole blessed course to yerself. Proper professional too, but without the airs. Need help? He’s there. Got a question? Answered before ye finish askin’. All with a grin that says he’s enjoyin’ himself just as much as the rest o’ us. By the time ye step up to the first tee, ye’re already thinkin’, “Aye, this is gonna be a grand round.” And truth be told, a good bit o’ that’s down to Murphy. Slàinte to the man.
Great course! Murph is the man.
