The George Fazio Golf Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is an 18-hole, par-70 public resort course on Hilton Head Island. Designed by George Fazio, it opened in 1974 as the second major golf layout at Palmetto Dunes. The current official scorecard measures 6,873 yards from the Gold tees and contains only two par fives, with a sequence of long par fours forming much of the course's difficulty.
The opening hole is a 432-yard par four from Gold and the closing hole is a 462-yard par four. Palmetto Dunes identifies it as the only par-70 public golf course on Hilton Head Island. The course has Diamond Zoysia putting surfaces and operates alongside the resort's Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront and Arthur Hills courses.

The George Fazio Course was developed during Palmetto Dunes' early resort expansion and opened in 1974. It joined the existing Robert Trent Jones course as golf became a central part of the community and resort.
George Fazio created a par-70 routing with only two par fives and placed much of the challenge in a series of substantial par fours. The back nine becomes tighter than the more open opening side, while lagoons and Lowcountry vegetation influence positioning.
The course has remained one of three Palmetto Dunes golf layouts. Its putting surfaces have since been converted to Diamond Zoysia.
Palmetto Dunes states that the Fazio course was one of the youngest courses to appear on Golf Digest's America's 100 Best list and later received South Carolina Golf Course of the Year recognition from the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association.
The Fazio Course remains an 18-hole public resort course at Palmetto Dunes, operating alongside the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront and Arthur Hills courses.
