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.

Golfer Reviews
A little rough
Tee boxes were all pretty rough conditions. Mostly no grass and hard mud. Possibly going thru mid season repair. Greens were just ok. Fairways were definitely off season renovations.
However, the green fees were adequate due to conditions.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for the rough conditions of the tee boxes and fairways, as well as the average quality of the greens. We appreciate your understanding of the current state of the course and hope to provide a better experience for you in the future.
Course was in great condition
I have played the course many times and was surprised to find it in the good condition that it was in after a couple days of rain. Some greens could benefit form over seeding. Number 16, which I believe was redone a couple years ago, is again in need of some TLC. But overall, the course proved to bee an excellent value.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, brooks840. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!

Good for money
Overall good course. First time playing, I was impressed with the layout. Thought it was fun and challenging. We went off season so it was a little wet and greens we’re rolling like crazy. The front desk people were pretty depressed looking. Otherwise decent course.

It’s winter golf
Winter golf, hard to complain. Hope all grass fills in for summer golf. Just getting back into golf after 5 yrs.,, so appreciate being able to play again.
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your understanding of the winter conditions and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We are working hard to ensure that the grass fills in for better summer golf experience. We are glad you are able to play again and we hope to see you soon!
Not worth your time..better courses in the area.
Got a good golf now HOT DEAL, but the course conditions made the round not worth the money/time. There are many tee boxes that are 'Under Repair' throwing off the distances & the fairways are only basically acceptable. Also the bridge between hole 9 & 10 is under repair so you have to take a 'Tour de Ville' to get to the 10th tee box (about a 10 minute cart drive).
We played Eagle Pointe which is close by & it's in Much Better condition & at the same price. Both Eagle & Crescent are in the process of being improved, but Crescent still needs much more work than Eagle so maybe in a couple of years from now this course will be back to a course that is worth your time to play.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the tee boxes under repair and the condition of the fairways. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our course for future players.
Coming Back
I had heard that the course had gone through some hard times, and had become run down. It was sold and the new owners are improving it. I actually liked the course when I played it. There were a few bad spots and the cart paths have to be fixed, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in good shape in general. The cost was good compared to other courses nearby. People were pleasant and pace was good considering the number of hazards on the course. I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, mjdrph. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
Not bad for winter conditions
This course is under renovation. It’s not in bad condition considering. All but a couple of greens were in good condition.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing renovation and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Beautiful layout but poor conditions
The course is beautifully designed and has a great layout. Unfortunately we found several of the fairways were in pretty tough shape. Talk to a couple of members who said the new owners are putting money into the place and they're expecting to see improvements next year.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the condition of the fairways and are grateful for your patience. We are working on making improvements and hope to provide a better experience next year.
Don't waste your $$ or time
We got a good "Hot Deal" on Golf Pass but quickly found out why. This course probably shouldn't be open for play at this time, the tee boxes are dirt as were most of the fairways, very little grass! I didn't read reviews of the course before we played and I regret not looking into it. You can tell the bones of the course are solid but it needs LOTS of TLC
We apologize for the condition of the golf course during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address the issues mentioned to improve the overall experience for our customers. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Good layout poor condition and worse management
Knew there had just been a change of ownership and knew conditions would be bad but still liked the layout from past round 4 yrs ago. Had 11:48 time. No starter, or staff of any kind sending players out. At 11:50 I ask the people in front of us their tee times. They said 11:35 and 11:44. So two tee times 4 minutes apart. Plus the group were in no hurry to head out to the first tee until I stated they should go, then they went out as a fivesomes (all men) with 4 of the wives following. Two of the wives had not golfed this year ( we are in Nov.). Would not let anyone played through as the 2 groups wanted to stay together. There was no Marshall. After a 3 hour front nine we quit and I spoke to a manager who apologized and indicated they just took over the course but that was no excuse for no starter or Marshall. He offered to refund our money but couldn’t as it was a prepaid hot deal. All in all one of the worse golf experiences I have encountered in the 50 years I have golfed.
We apologize for your negative experience at our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and assure you that we take your comments seriously. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention.
Poor management
Course was under repair in many locations. Very poor management. No starters or Marshall’s and took us over 4 hours to play nine holes. Large groups playing together (10) backing everyone up also individual with coach playing in front of us and would stay on green practicing chipping and putting while we waited. Also would hit multiple balls off tee. Left after 9 holes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the negative experience you had during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
Terrific Course
My husband and I enjoy playing the Crescent Pointe Arnold Palmer golf course. The course is interesting and challenging, as well as lovely scenery. New owners are making significant improvements. The greens are in great shape. I would recommend playing this course.

Good front 9, back 9 needs work.
Needs drinking water on course, some ball washers were dry. Some of tee off grounds were completely dirt.otherwise everything else’s was good.

Crescent Pointe 11-09-23
Played as a single at 1pm. The new owners know what they are doing. The new pro was actually out riding the course, taking notes, and talking to guests. Ran into some locals/residents who were super cool and friendly. Cart paths repaired and smooth. Over seeded greens a little slow but nothing major. Mowing is consistent with clean lines.. Major bunker work is underway and will continue through the winter. CP will be outstanding after one more growing season. Great value at $50. Jocelyn and Sadie in the shop were super nice. Steve outside is a great guy. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, Constantgolfer. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
Not what I expected
The tee time rate I was quoted and what I was supposed to pay at the course was not honoured. Had to pay $10 more. Totally unexplainable - some surcharge and tax I had to pay twice
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you experienced regarding the tee time rate and additional charges at our golf course. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.
Hello, golfjoy2164. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Crescent Pointe Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
