Entering Sun City Hilton Head. Non residents must enter SCHH through one of the two attended gates off of U.S. 278, also called Fording Island Road. Tell the attendant you are playing in the pickleball tournament.
If you are going to the North courts, enter SCHH through the attended gate on the north side of U.S. 278. If you are going to the South courts enter SCHH through the attended gate on the south side of U.S. 278.
The South courts are about 4 miles away from the North courts. To get to the South courts, enter SCHH through the attended gate on the south side of 278. After passing the gate go straight at the first four stop signs. About three miles from the gate and after passing under power lines take the first left into the parking lot. If there are no spaces do not park on the grass. Instead go to the Softball Field parking lot at 831 Red Dam Road. Park and walk around the home plate side of the softball field to the pickleball courts.
(Depending on the direction from which you approach Sun City, your GPS may take you to an unattended gate through which a Sun City resident, with an RFID decal may enter, but non-residents cannot.)
