Crescent Pointe Golf Club
About
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.

Great Course
Since new owners took over this course last year, major improvements in the course condition have been made.
This course has always been challenging, but now the greens and fairways are great shape. I would highly recommend this course.
Highly Recommended
This course is interesting and challenging. The condition of the course has improved considerably since it was taken over by Metropolitan Golf last year. The greens and fairways are great shape. Prices very reasonable as well.
Scotland Weather
We played the day after Christmas in english or scottish weather. It was raining to begin with but eventually stopped. There was a total of 48 players on the course that day. The pace of play was excellent. The green were in very good shape. My only pet peeve is that public course players don't rake the traps. Great value for the money.We'll come back.
New Ownership Improvments
The course has been dramatically improved over the past year and appears the owners will continue to bring it back to life. Great value for the money!
Great improvements
I have been a member of The Crescent for 11 years. It was not until Metro Golf bought the course did significant changes begin. They are totally committed to making the Arnold Palmer Signature course top tier. The layout has always been second to none and now the conditions are getting better by the day. If you are visiting or live in the Bluffton area, play a round. You won’t be disappointed!
Much Improved
New owners as of last year. They have made huge improvements to the course. The greens and bunkers have not been this nice in over 10 years
The course conditions tell me the new owners are here to stay
100% improvement
The course has improved 100% since the new management group took over . The fairways are in perfect shape . With the exception of a couple of spots on one or two greens They are in great shape. They are challenging and roll true .
The staff is welcoming and the pro shop well stocked .
The food in the restaurant/ bar is very good
I highly recommend playing this course if you are in the bluffton / Hilton Head area
Crescent Pointe Golf Club Premier Semi Private Golf Course in Hilton Head, SC
Since Metropolitan Golf Company purchased this prestigious Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course it’s been returned to its natural beauty and quality of golf. Fairways are magnificent and the green are superb. Play Crescent Pointe Golf Course next time you want a great golfing experience.
Great challenging layout
I have played The Crescent over the years but I found prior owners did not have the commitment to run a quality operation! Now new ownership have turned the corner for the course. The course has always been a chalange due to its layout and the Arnold Palmer design and specifications. However now they have the resources to make it happen. Having played the course several times over the last couple of months I have been very impressed. The course has been upgraded to be challenging and maintained in a very professional way. Play the course you won’t be disappointed.
Fun and challenging course
The Crescent has seen some tough times but under Metropolitan Golf Management, the Crescent is back!!! Greens are fast. Carts have GPS! Food in the clubhouse is excellent. I would highly recommend this course. It is an Arnold Palmer Signature course. Very challenging and a joy to play.
Course was in great shape
Greens were quick
Staff were excellent
Put this on your list!
I’m a zero handicap and played from the Palmer tees today. What an absolutely beautiful course layout with trouble if you can’t keep it in the middle.
The fairways are generously wide in the landing zones and the greens were true and rolled perfectly.
#9 is a par 3 that has an elevated tee box and has you shoot back into a peninsula green surround def by traps and the marsh…photo below- this might be the prettiest hole I’ve ever played.
The staff was very nice and the porch overlooking 18 is a gem to have a cocktail and share your stories of your favorite hole.
Repairs are underway on the cart path and some of the sprinklers, but overall these were few and far between.
Thank you to the course for a far more valuable experience in relation to my green fees for the day. I’ll be back!
The course is very challenging. Many shots over water or hazards. It's a shot makers course yet it's fun to play especially the second time around. The greens were in excellent condition. My only disappointment was that some parts of the fairways were a little thin on grass. Could be just the time of the year. Overall, a challenging and fun course to play.
