You've got the golf clubs in the trunk and you head straight to Harbor Town Golf Links, shelling out more than $300 by the time you've bought golf balls and a hat with a logo and paid green fees for 18. You all meet back at the resort and, in your head, you tally up the damage: new outfits for the wife, gas bill, golf fees.

Whoa! Time to go looking for some bargains.

Hilton Head ain't cheap. Green fees of $100 on the area's golf courses, particularly on the island itself, are standard. But there are courses that give you both excellent play and true value.

Let's say you want to get settled in and not leave the island for at least a few days. Hilton Head has more than 20 courses and you can play some of them and get your money's worth.

• Heritage Golf Group recently bought three properties totaling 99 holes, including Port Royal Golf and Racquet Club, Shipyard Golf Club and Oyster Reef Golf Club. They are all good bargains, even considering the comparatively high Hilton Head prices.

Oyster Reef has had its ups and downs since opening to acclaim in 1982, but since Heritage took over from American Golf, the course is slowly working its way back into the top echelon of Hilton Head tracks.

Confronted with a course badly in need of improvements, Heritage has put money into renovations - redoing the bunkers, just to name one - and plans to tear down the clubhouse and build a new one in May. "We've put a lot of money into the course, and we plan to do a lot more," Heritage's Lisa Dahlstrom said.

Green fees are $130 in the mornings through May 6 and $100 after that. Summer rates are in the $90 range.

Port Royal is home to three courses, Barony, Robber's Row and Planter's Row. Robber's Row, the first of the t

I am a resident of HHI and was reading the information on the nightlife because I have friends coming to town for the Heritage 2009. I noticed that a lot of the establishments have gone out of business a few years ago. I did come across a great site: www.hiltonheadislandnightlife.com. It seems to be more up to date and gives a lot of information. Thought I would pass the word along and save others wasted trips and frustrations trying to find places that aren't there anymore. ...

We've been going to HHI for the last 15 years. It truly is a paradise surrounded by great Southern charm and hospitality! My daughter loved it so much she moved there and left us in the cold Northeast! We visit and hope to retire there. It's a great place for boating and other watersports - dolphins abound! My daughter sells real estate there (She works for one of the oldest firms on the island. and it's a buyer's market folks!) so if you're interested in a great deal contact her at laren@schemb... More

If not just visit and I know you will love the beaches (WARM water) and the great restaurants.
