Rating 73.6

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.

We will be back!

My wife surprised me with a trip to Crescent Pointe Golf Club for our anniversary, and it was a perfect choice. The course is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and well-kept fairways that made for a relaxing round. We had such a pleasant time playing together, enjoying the scenery and the challenge of the course. It was a wonderful way to spend the day, and we’ll definitely be back for another round. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic golf experience!

Decent course for the money

Greens were the best we've seen this week, kudos to the groundskeeper!

Course has a very good layout. Tees were in good shape. FIrways are annoying as there are no flat lies! Feet were always above or below the ball. If you hit the fairway you shouldn't be penalized for it. This is my biggest complaint and why I Don't enjoy playing this course regardless of the very good value and the great conditioned greens, the fairwaiys are all beige and thT may just be because it is winter but the undeveloped gound is just wrong

The GPS in the cart was also 5 minutes or so behind actual position. We were about 3 yards ahead of the 150 marker and it still showed 196yards to center.

7.5 out of 10 overall.

Women's Club gives it an A+

My women's golf club recently played at Crescent Pointe Golf Club, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The course was in great shape, and everyone enjoyed the round. What really stood out, though, was the staff at the clubhouse. They were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Course with an Arnold Palmer Touch!

Crescent Pointe Golf Club is a must-play in Bluffton! As an Arnold Palmer Signature Course, it offers a challenging yet enjoyable layout with stunning Lowcountry scenery. The fairways are well-maintained, the greens roll true, and the course provides a great mix of risk-reward holes that keep the round exciting.

The staff is welcoming and helpful, ensuring a great experience from start to finish. The King’s Courtyard restaurant is a perfect spot to grab a bite after your round, offering delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Whether you're a local or visiting the area, Crescent Pointe is a fantastic choice for a round of golf. Highly recommend!

Great day of golf

I recently had the pleasure of playing at Crescent Pointe Golf Club with my dad, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience. The course was in fantastic shape (overall), with well-kept greens and fairways that really made the round enjoyable. The layout was definitely fun

What really stood out was the overall vibe of the course. It’s clear that they take pride in providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and everyone we interacted with—from the pro shop staff to the groundskeepers—was super welcoming.

It was a perfect day on the course, and my dad and I had a blast. If you're looking for a great round of golf in the area, Crescent Pointe is definitely worth checking out. We’ll be back for sure!

Best Condition in Years!

Arnold Palmer’s great signature design has regained its place as one of Bluffton’s best semi-private courses and a really good value! Friendly staff wants to please. Grill room prices very reasonable. Check out the second and ninth holes… two really fun par-3s. Marsh views. Will be back!

Good value, but needs attention to details.

Course was nicely laid out and scenic. Cart paths were a combo of concrete and sand, with some jarring bumps between sections. Ball washers were dry, except for some with nasty, smelly dark water inside. People are super friendly but a few simple touches would add to the experience.

Nice but rough Fairways.

Gorgeous Course. Tough but reasonable. Fairway grass was dormant and wish they had overspeed, a bit like playing on Hardpan

Time will tell

Coarse is under new mgt. Practice green should closed. Several greens need serious TLC. The greens were rather slow compared to others around the area.
