Shorter days, cooler nights, family gatherings and twinkling lights. The holiday season is here and we’ve made a list (and checked it twice!) to help you find the perfect gift for the loved ones in your life. This year we’ve challenged ourselves to find memorable experiences to gift, because sometimes the best presents just can’t be wrapped.

For the Golfer

The first stop for any golfer gift is our award-winning Pro Shops but when it comes to giving a golf gift that keeps on giving, nothing beats a custom club-fitting session at one of Golf Digest’s Top 100 Golf Clubfitters! SwingFit, located at the Robert Trent Jones course, is the premiere golf clubfitter on Hilton Head Island. Their state-of-the-art technology not ensures a bespoke set of clubs, your golfer will also get unparalleled insight into the strengths and weaknesses of their swing—invaluable info that’ll help lower that handicap in 2020! Learn more about SwingFit.

Stock up on favorites by Peter Millar, Travis Mathew, Stitch Golf, U.S. Kids, YETI & more from our golf pro shops! Every $100 spent earns a chance to win a new Srixon 585 Driver!

Her Ansboury Academies have fast become a favorite and we know that the promise of some time spent with this pro will put a smile on any Pickleball player’s face.

For the Foodie

Nothing gets our mouths watering quite like Lowcountry cooking, so it’s no wonder foodies return to Hilton Head year after year for their favorite dishes. Surprise the foodie in your family with tickets to one of the most popular food events of the year—the Hilton Head Island Seafood Festival! Your food fanatic will be thrilled to meet famous chefs from around the country and you can treat them to a memorable meal at the Alexander’s Lowcountry Supper.
