Dolphin Head Golf Course

Honestly, I wrote a scathing review of this place last year, not because of the conditions, layout, or value, but because of the overly-strict adherence to pace of play guidelines...we were rushed around the course, frankly.

Thankfully, those rules have been relaxed, making this my most enjoyable round of the week (I played a different course every day during my week-long vacation on HHI). Course is in perfect shape. I am a single-handicapper, and even playing from the white tees, challenges abounded! Nice mix of doglegs on the par 4s. Risk/reward opportunities on the par 5s. Challenging (not ridiculously long or short) par 3s. Overall, a top shelf course. I love all of the HH Plantation courses (Oyster Reef, Bear Creek, and Dolphin Head). When I retire, I'll be lobbying with the missus to retire there!

Great course. Try to play every time we are on HHI

Played over the week of the 4th. Course was in good shape but the greens were a bit behind in healing from recent aeration. Tees, surrounds and fairways were very very good. Golf staff 5 stars. My only rub is with the F&B. No menu items except for a hot dog. They offered a sandwich buffet that was picked thru pretty good by the time I got there at Noon. Waitress was a tad unfriendly about it all.

I'd go back for golf. Eat elsewhere.

Nice neighborhood resort style course. Fun to play but not an everyday type of course. It is built for members to enjoy and feel good about how they play. Very generous course which made it relaxing and enjoyable.

This course appeared to be beautiful back in its day; however as have all the Brown Managment it has gone wayward. Course was in decent condition however not worth the price. The good news is there are 3 other courses on the plantation to play which are all in great shape.

We have played this course many times as we visit HHI several times a year. This was particularly slow as there was a fivesome in front of us, no ranger and they would not let us through. Poor golf etiquette from those fellas but the course should have someone roving to prevent this from happening. Otherwise, a fun course to play. Thanks!

Very nice round at Dolphin Head! Course in excellent condition, challenging and interesting. Good layout and facilities, very nice staff. Great value and strongly recommend.

Very good conditions (tee boxes,fairways; greens) nice layout. Reception cordial and helpful. Starter works with you to pair up singles if you like and allows couples to play alone if not overly crowded. My only complaint was with GolfNow who sent me a confirmation of tee time for 11:54 and sent the course my name for a tee time of 10:38. I was listed as a "no show by starter, but then worked me in with 2 other singles for an excellent round.

Dolphin Head is a well maintained golf course which makes for a quality experoence.

The trees, fairways and greens are all in great shape.

If in the HHI area, I strongly suggest playing this course.

We had a terrific round, but the difficulty came on the green. That's what the starter promised and he was so wright.

Very nice course. Mostly wide fairways. Staff helpful and friendly. Six tee boxes so lots of choices and challenges.

Nice Gary Player layout with a mix of water and wide fairways. Very playable. Only complaint was the slowness of the greens, but that is typical for a publicish reset course. Would play again.

Rain had soften the course the day we played. Starter was very cordial and helpful. Finished the round in 3 1/2 hours. Would play again.

This course was strictly private until a few months ago. It was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and flawless. The fairways were lush and well maintained. The price was moderate and very fair for such a nice fine facility. I hope to be able to play this course again.

Staff was rather difficult to find on this course- no one to take our bags when we arrived and when we stopped at the turn to purchase a drink, there was no one around!
We played at 8:00am on a weekday and the course was wide open. THAT was great. Relaxed round with no holdup. Re: design, a couple of the par 3's seemed to be an afterthought. Nothing special in design but certainly provides a good round of golf.
