Bluffton Golf Club

Unfortunately this is the second time in a row the place was overbooked. Tee times every 8 minutes meant a 5 hour round which would have been longer had a couple groups not packed it in on the back 9. Even at our tee time the starter told us he may have to hold us up as some group was crossing over, fortunately that didn’t occur.

Challenging course. Greens are nice very puttable

However the rough is too long. The course needs some maintenance

I want to give the course some grace since it appears to be recently purchased. I’m assuming that’s true with the name change. This is literally the first time to review a course and I usually laugh at people who complain about things, like a rough cart path. I read, before playing, about the thick rough and just assumed it was another complainer. Was I wrong! I lost so many balls that I stopped by the driving range after 9 holes to get a few extra. I barely missed a few fairways and never found the balls. Definitely don’t play this one solo. I almost stopped after 9 but pressed on. I did skip a few holes at the end and came in early since a men’s group was sent out after 9. I doubt I will give this one a try again.

I heard course is under new management, so hopefully it will be better next year. Clubhouse was under repair, no carts available when we checked in (said was due to slow play), had to bring us one to range 5 min before our tee time. It hadn't rained in almost 5 days, but course was mushy and fairways sparse, most bunkers had sitting water in them, so over a foot deep in water. Greens were decent shape but slow. For the price, it was OK value, but Rose Hill right across the street about the same price and much nicer course that was in great shape (played in same trip). Hopefully with new management it will be much better next spring.

Less than half the price of anything on the Island. We really liked the course. Greens and fairways were good. I will definitely play here again especially the way the prices of golf have gotten on Hilton Head.

The Ownership just changed the course was in good condition even after 4 days of straight rain. Clubhouse and food Great!
