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.

Fairways need some grass

This is not an easy course made even more difficult by lack of grass in the fairways. We had the first tee time and were making great time. When we made the turn, there was a 4-some in front of us. They were probably members. They did let us play through, but very uncool they were allowed to cut in front.

Friendly tees, tuff approaches

Play was slow once we caught up to players out front. No refreshments cart. No one tending the bar at our turn. Enjoyed the course though.

Great Course Layout, Poor Course Conditions

Crescent Pointe was recommended to me by a relative who played there about a month ago and found it in good shape. However, there were a number of holes when I played that were in need of repair, or had repairs underway. Cart paths, in particular, were rough! Several greens were molted (some being repaired), sand traps were packed near solid, and two fairways had substantial sinkholes on them. The layout is very nice, and course was tough for a duffer like me, but the conditions didn't help. I'd go back, but only at a good price.

Friendly staff but severely understaffed

Poor staffing choices impact overall day, when check in takes forever and should have been staffed by two staff members, to the staff worrying about having enough golf carts, to the bar restaurant being at least three people short all impacted course play. We would go back if they improve staffing shortages, a manager should have stepped up and assisted as they were very busy.

Great/friendly staff and really cool layout

My son (scratch) and I (7.1) played and loved the course layout. Lots of interesting holes and hazards. Both golf shop and restaurant/bar stall were really friendly - golf shop manager came to see us at the turn to see how we were enjoying the course. There are some slightly scruffy areas of the course and the cart paths are a little bumpy but for $57 including cart we weren’t expecting Augusta!. 4 groups waved us through and we finished in under 3 hours.
