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.

Good layout but terrible condition. They need to put a lot of work into this course.

First round @Hilton Head
Course is in really rough condition. I know a storm hit here last week but I don’t believe it has much to do with the condition of the golf course. Tees a mess, fairways and greens punched. Granted we only paid $50 for the round, but still come on man. Not on my list for a replay. Layout awesome as was cart guy.
We sincerely apologize for the rough condition of the course during your visit. We understand your disappointment and will make sure to address the issues raised in your review. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Not so good for the money
I thought this might be better than a cheap municipal course. Not so sure about that now. The greens were bad. The overall conditions were a little needy.
When I play a new course, I look for good conditions for the money. This did not meet my expectation.
We apologize for the poor condition of the greens and the overall maintenance of the course. We appreciate your feedback and will work to improve the conditions to meet your expectations in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Under repair
Course was nice overall,but was under repair. 18th hole was being redesigned and the hole was on the fairway.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your visit due to the ongoing repairs on the course, including the redesign of the 18th hole. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback.

Great course. Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate. Rain. We played anyway.
u314162625349, thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!
Overall this is a great course for the price almost all of the greens are in good condition there’s maybe 2-3 that needs little bit of attention but besides that I felt like I got my moneys worth out of this course
Hello Sully, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our course. We apologize for the few greens that may need some attention and appreciate your understanding. We're glad to know that you felt you got your money's worth and we hope to see you again soon.
No coolers, so no water?
The course has a no cooler policy, but does not offer water and there is none on the course. When we checked in we were told the restaurant and snack bar did not open until 10:00. We luckily packed water bottles, but could not buy ice….. When we turned at 10:00 the snack bar was still not open. When I asked for ice, I was met with hesitation but they eventually offered. After a 60 second awkward encounter, they asked what I was going to put the ice in. I eventually was offered a cooler.
The course is also under construction on more than 6 holes and there are two temporary greens.
Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing these concerns to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of water and the delay in opening the snack bar. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service in the future.
Hi, Bic91. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
Great Course - Glad It’s Getting Love
Played here while my family was visiting Hilton head. A little off the island but only 30 minutes from Marriott’s SurfWatch so not bad and the McDonald’s in Bluffton is significantly better than the one in Hilton head so you can at least get breakfast before and not feel like you’re putting the staff out! As for the golf, I had heard that the course had gone downhill, but was recently purchased. It is clear that they are trying to bring it back. It is one of my favorites and really a great layout – challenging holes, different layouts, really a fun course! Two of the greens were temporary, but it looks like number 18 is about ready for prime time. An incredible price at $60 compared to other courses in around Hilton Head and well worth the money. No doubt the price will increase as the course comes back, but I certainly look forward to playing here in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed playing here and found the course to be challenging and fun. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the temporary greens and we are working hard to improve the course. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Very nice track they are putting some money and work into it and it shows
Thank you for taking the time to review our business! We appreciate your positive feedback and are glad to hear that our efforts are visible.
Interesting layout but...
The course was priced appropriately. Tee boxes, greens and bunkers need a lot of work. The course layout was nice and we had the course to ourselves. With a little love and attention this could be a nice course.

Better than expected
Based on price and other courses in the area we were not expecting much. We were pleasantly surprised! Fairways all good. 90% of greens were nice. 1 temporary green. Overall I will play this course again soon. Good value.

Great potential...but not yet ready for prime time
This course is well-designed and will be better once the new ownership is able to bring it back from the brink. Had a 7AM tee time and the pro shows up at 7 to open the course...thankfully the cart guy was there early and helped us until the pro showed up. Forget breakfast before golf...Cafe wasn't open and is not presently managed by present ownership... I believe that this course has a future but the present is pretty rough. If you wonder why it's such a great deal, you now understand why.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We are aware of the issues regarding the course's management and are working diligently to improve the overall experience for our customers.
