Stay Where the Pros Stay for Popular PGA TOUR Event 

The Sea Pines Resort – Hilton Head’s most distinguished retreat -- is the official accommodations provider for the PGA TOUR’s RBC Heritage held on its famed Harbour Town Golf Links, April 15 – 21.

“On campus” lodging for the wildly popular event is highlighted by 300 villas and 100 rental homes providing an array of comfortable, well-appointed choices for TOUR players and their families as well as tournament attendees to visit in style (www.seapines.com/accommodations/).

Most Sea Pines stay options provide for a quick walk to the action on Harbour Town, stress-free parking, convenience to the resort’s world-class amenities as well as reduced golf rates at Heron Point by Pete Dye and the Ocean Course – its two additional outstanding 18s.

When asked why players see this venue as one of their favorite stops, TOUR stalwart Matt Kuchar says, “Everyone seems to stay within the confines of Sea Pines. I don’t know of any other place on TOUR where people don’t leave the general resort area.”

2012 RBC Heritage winner Carl Pettersson says, “Sea Pines is such a great family place. Everyone loves coming here.”

“Few TOUR locales offer as wide a range of deluxe accommodations with such easy access to seeing the world’s best players tee it up as we do,” says John Munro, Vice-President of Hospitality, Sales and Marketing. “After golf, our incredible beaches, horseback riding, tennis, bicycling, and dining and nightlife options galore are all close by and waiting for our guests to have the time of their lives.”

The Harbour Town Yacht Basin -- recognized as a premier yachting destination on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway -- is a lively gathering spot during the tournament week for both TOUR players and attendees.  Dockage is available for boaters.

CASA de CAMPO OFFERS SUMMER GOLF AND TENNIS ACADEMIES FOR TEENS

 

Two- and four-week sports camps combine expert instruction
with summer fun, activities, and a unique cross-cultural experience

Living up to its billing as the number-one resort in the Caribbean and the hub of The Sporting Life, Casa de Campo is offering all-inclusive two- and four-week golf and tennis academies this summer for boys and girls ages 10 to 16.

The camps are conducted by Golf & Tennis Academy (GTA), which was founded by Juan Arteaga, Jr., and Marisa Farrell, lifelong sports enthusiasts who are also parents. They formed GTA to provide an alternative to the typical sports camp, offering a more complete experience that included many activities beyond traditional sports instruction.

The golf camp features daily instruction under the direction of Casa de Campo’s golf professional staff, including Eric Lillibridge, Director of Instruction at the resort’s Jim McLean Golf School.  Along with learning every part of the game (with a 5-to-1 student-teacher ratio) students get to play the famous Casa de Campo courses, 63 holes of challenging golf designed by legendary architect Pete Dye. Daily non-golf activities include swimming (pool and ocean); beach time; soccer, volleyball, and other sports; movies; and access to GTA’s on-site recreation center.

The camp also includes full-time adult supervision, lodging at the Pete Dye Golf Lodges, all meals, weekly laundry service, transportation around the resort grounds and nightly activities. Campers will be treated to daily trail rides, Astronomy Night and outings to Altos de Chavon, the recreated Medieval European village and artists’ community situated within the resort high above the Chavon River, where art, language and cultural classes are available from the prestigious Parson School of Design.  Skeet and sporting clay and polo instruction is offered based on each camper’s assessed competency and interest in each sport. A special awards banquet closes out each session.

The tennis camp offers many of the same activities, highlighted by expert instruction by a team of USPTA-certified pros with a 4-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

Two-week sessions are July 14-27 and July 28-August 10, 2013. Campers may enroll for both sessions. Two-week camps cost $3,200 for golf and $3,000 for tennis, including accommodations.
