What to Do for Father’s Day on Hilton Head Island

Will you be vacationing in Hilton Head Island during Father’s Day weekend? Treating Dad to some well-deserved beach time is probably enough to make his day. If you do want to plan something special for the day, we’ve come up with a few ideas that are sure to be a hit!

All Things Golf

Something tells me that Dad might be the one who schedules the tee times. In any case, Hilton Head is known for having award-winning golf courses—and plenty of them! For the sake of this guide, we won’t get into the nitty gritty of every golf course on the island, since avid golfers have probably already done their research. Instead, let’s look at the other options that might better suit the family whose golfing abilities (and interests) might be across the board.

The next-best, and most obvious choice, would be to go mini-golfing. A great way to spend an hour enthralled in some friendly competition, mini golf is a fun option that the whole family can do! That is of course, if your family isn’t known to get a little too competitive. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. There are multiple mini golf courses located throughout Hilton Head Island, each of them is designed with a unique theme and offer different courses for differing skill levels. Read our Guide to Miniature Golfing on Hilton Head Island to find the perfect course for you!

Chronic Games is an exciting, high-tech spin on your typical golf game. Because this experience is completely indoors, you can enjoy this activity rain or shine! The simulation sports bar is great for all ages and includes thirteen sports games in addition to the 100 golf courses offered. Sit back and relax in your private simulation bay, and order a tasty dish or beverage to enjoy while you play. Learn more in our Local Spotlight on Chronic Games!

Birds-Eye View

Taking a helicopter tour might be something you wouldn’t normally think of doing, but it is something you definitely do not want to miss.  By far the best way to see our beautiful island, Hilton Head Helicopter Tours offers numerous tours that can even take you to surrounding areas like Tybee Island, downtown Savannah, and Daufuskie. Great for all ages, this exciting experience pairs breathtaking views of the Lowcountry with a unique way of learning more about the area. With a wide array of options that consider time, budget, and interest, there is sure to be a tour for you.

Here are some of our favorites:

Cast a Line

Enjoy the beauty of the laid-back Lowcountry by celebrating Father’s Day with a few fishing poles and great quality time with dear old dad. Hilton Head Island is great for fishing, so remember to bring your gear and take a look at our guide to the Best Fishing Locations on Hilton Head Island for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. From piers to tucked-away parks, there are plenty of spots throughout the island for you to cast a line.

If you’d really like to wow Dad this year, why not consider taking him on a fishing charter? It doesn’t have to be just for Father’s Day either, since the island has great weather year-round for inshore fishing.
