I don’t know anything about your specific chip, but you can read about the history of the mold it’s made on here: http://www.marlowcasinochips.com/links/davidspragg/borland/bjmolds.htm (by @David Spragg )

Golf clubs and HH make me think of Hilton Head, but no casinos there, right? Maybe they belonged to Hugh Hefner, lol. Good luck on your search, hopefully someone else can help you more.

It is not listed in my 4th edition of The Gaming Table.

So likely a chip of unknown origin.

I would post it over at Thechipboard.com
There are more knowledgeable singles collectors over there that can help trace chips.

I did find that there was a Howard Hughes golf Invitational in the 70s. And HH was tied to casinos. Never know....

I'm thinking these might have been made for either a golf course, golf event, or potentially a personal set. The chip looks old enough to have been made in the 60s/70s when Bud Jones was making chips on that mold. Not many casino's seemed to have use that mold for their chips. Here is a link to the chipguide where you can see Bud Jones promotional chips and similar chips made for a "sportsmen's club."
