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.

Nice course for the money

We enjoyed playing this course. It had a few maintenance issues but for the most part it was in good shape. I would definitely play it again.

Great course

The course was in great shape other than a few cart paths. There is a ton of water thru out the course. The grass around the fairways are tall and you will lose balls if you roll thru the fairway to the outer cut. The course is very challenging. I couldn’t reach the par 4’s in two shots from the white tee. Overall nice course to play , not super crowded and beautiful scenery. Great staff!

Good value

Course was on decent condition. Nice mix of challenging holes and open fairways. It was freshly mowed after several days of rain They were also using a fertilizer on the fairways which appeared as round white foam which made it harder to identify my ball. An inconvenience but not an every day problem. I will be sure to play it again.

Coming together

All has improved on this course since I first played it 6 months ago. They are putting the money where it needs to go, greens, greenside, Fairways and tees. It is a little rough around the edges, so, keep it in the fairway and don't miss the greens by too much.

Getting there

Most of the greens are slow but in good shape. 3/4 greens have bald patches on them.

Tee boxes are much improved. Bunkers are decent. Fairways are better than they were but still lag behind most of the courses in the lowcountry.

You can see they are trying but still have a way to go. Still one if the best layouts in the lowcountry.

Wifi was not working. Cash only, No credit card.

6/10 for me.
