  • The Winner’s Circle Is Waiting for You…

    29 Jul 2024

    Join the Winner’s Circle on Hilton Head Island. It’s time to tee off on hole 14 (CTTH #4) at Harbour Town!

    New to Winner’s Circle? No worries, it’s simple to play! Land your ball in one of the colored rings around the hole (or sink it if you can) to win prize chests. Prize chests are color-coordinated with each ring color and include apparel packs, golf ball sleeves and more. All players get one free shot, but additional shots are available for purchase.

    To ensure this is a fair test of accuracy, all players will use designated Winner’s Circle clubs so everyone is on a level fairway!

    Three things to keep in mind:

    • Winner’s Circle is a limited-time event, but any remaining unused purchased shots will stay in your inventory for the next Winner’s Circle event.
    • Don’t let the timer expire, or you will lose that shot!
    • The only change from shot to shot will be minor wind direction and speed changes.

    See you on the tee!

    Shoot your shot(s)

  • Free Bridgestone Balls For All

    Please note that these free Bridgestone balls will be automatically added to your inventory but will not equip automatically.
