Crescent Pointe Golf Club in Bluffton is Arnold Palmer's only public course in the area. It is conveniently located just a few minutes west of the bridge leaving Hilton Head Island. Opened in 2000, the course has quickly gained a reputation as being one of the Lowcountry's best. Sprawling across a lush landscape blanketed with century-old oaks and towering pines, the layout is as scenic as it is challenging. While the generous fairways may be player friendly, the difficult approaches to the elevated, well bunkered greens are anything but. The large, pristine white sand bunkers were designed in true Palmer-style, closely following the natural undulations of the land. The gently rolling terrain is unique for the area. Crescent Pointe Golf Club's elevation changes aren't dramatic but they do provide some subtle, but tricky undulations in the greens that make it hard to find a flat lie.

very enjoyable golfing experience

overall, course is very well maintained and very enjoyable to play

there are a few greens with rough spots and several areas of the cart path that need attention

carts have been upgraded with gps and monitors providing accurate details of course and greens

course has several holes with memorable scenery making the golfing all the more pleasurable

staff at the pro shop, cart pick-up and starter are very friendly and helpful - clubhouse restrooms are clean and well

maintained

will definitely return on our next visit to the bluffton area

Great course

The course was great. Very friendly staff and the condition of the course was good considering the lack of rain in the area. So far this is my favorite course in Bluffton.

a bit disappointing

we really liked the course layout but the conditions of the greens, fairways and cart paths are quite poor. The greens have a weed problem and the fairways very little grass. The cart paths need a lot of repair and work. The staff were very friendly and it’s too bad the course was not better maintained.

Disappointed

I arrived and was told only 9 holes was open due to front nine aeration. I had to play the back nine twice. Does not GolfNow not know this when advertising the Hot Deals? I would not have played this course and will think twice before using GolfNow

Definitely a challenging layout. Needs some attention and rain to allow the grass to grow.

Loved the layout, but some maintenance work required

We played here many years ago and loved the course layout. At that time, the conditions were much better than present. The course has great potential, but showed signs of deferred maintenance. I fully understand that the recent drought conditions created some maintenance challenges (particularly on the greens) and hope that the investment is made so that the course potential can be realized.

Pleasant surprise.

Played a round today after the rain let up. This layout is super cool. Very unique layout - lush vegetation - lots of water and huge sand traps. Scenic marshland views that you don’t get on Hilton Head. Saw alligators, wild turkey, raccoons, much more wildlife here than other local courses.

Back 9 is in a little better condition than the front. A few greens need a little TLC. Every hole has water hazard - bring extra balls. Pace of play was excellent. Great value @ $75.

Needs some capital injection

Cart paths were very rough. $10 hot dogs were surprising.

Cool track

Well wroth the money, but still needs some work. Greens and green side have a lot of weeds. Most disappointing of all hit dog at the turn was $10. Anything over 5 is theft. They do throw in a bag of chips but for $10 it should come with dog,chips and a drink at minimum.
