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

Great course, not perfect but really nice. Some poor parts of the cart path, couple iffy tee boxes, but very minor in my opinion. Doesn’t detract from the beauty of it. Fantastic value, well worth it

Other than the greens it was terrible

Tees and Fairways were pretty much dirt/sand. I have played this course many times over the years and it has gone way downhill. It used to be one of the nicer courses in the Hilton Head area. Probably won’t be back.

Concerned

I have played this course from the opening year and have enjoyed the layout, but it has consistently been in a downward spiral the last few years. I hope it can be restored back to its original condition.

Fun course

The layout is fun and challenging. The course does have a few quirky holes, but I think that’s what makes it fun to play .

Wonderful Trek

Played as a single in the early morning. Ended up being paired with 3 amazing people; Doug, Jon & Paul. Could not have been luckier. They were nervous what I’d think of the course since new owners took it over last season. You can tell the work they’ve put it! Some of the greens were a tad hard from new sodding this year & 2 of the fairways had some light spots, but it was a heck of a course for the price and the semi-private-ness. Would recommend.

Crescent Pointe

I hit most fairways and ended up on dirt. Many tee boxes were trash. The cart paths were in a terrible condition, maybe the worst I’ve ever seen. You may need a chiropractor appointment after driving the cart path. I paid $55 online. I would not recommend. I will try next year and see if they have made any improvements.

Rain the night before left the course soggy.

Heavy rain night before meant that the course was pretty wet the following morning. That having been said the conditions generally were no better than average. Greens were not bad but tees and fairways were in tough shape in places. There were only a few people playing and as a consequence to pace play was quite quick.

One of my favorite layouts

Great layout and friendly staff. Wish it could get back to the shape it was in 6 or so years ago. Greens rolled ok. Fairways were sparse and t boxes need lots of work. I hope it continues to improve.

Tough shape, good price!

They had a rough winter and the place was in tough shape. Good layout if they would put a dollar or two into the maintenance! Just one man’s opinion

This course is worth playing.

Heard this course was in poor condition. Wrong. Course is definitively worth playing. Received emails about a monthly family pass and called to inquire. Never received a callback. Really underwhelming service. Told there were no range balls yet golfers came out after us with range balls. It’s really ignorant to treat guests like second class citizens.
