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.

High Value Course for the HHI area
I was a single and played in 3 hours. Coulda been quicker by playing through one group but had a good round going and didn't want to mess it up. There was 1 temporary green and a couple other greens with minor issues. I would/will play it again for $59.
Greens were rough
The layout was really cool and was great for dad and I who are new to golf to feel like we weren’t holding up the game. The conditions need some work and the greens need a lot of TLC. Talking with some of the staff sounds like new owners are working improving the course conditions which is great to hear because that layout is too good.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, rjfairch92. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Crescent Pointe Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
GREAT GOLF
This course has a great layout. Tight fairways and the course is in pretty good shape. There might have been 2 greens that were in bad shape.

A change in ownership is very evident. New ownership seems to be putting money and time into the course. I think it will be a different course next year.

Cresent Pointe
Greens were very beat up. Some were unplayable. Tees were bad too. Little grass and more dirt than anything. Rate was too high for the condition of the course.
Staff was friendly but nothing to eat or drink since the grille was closed.

Signature Layout But Not Conditions
First time playing the course was really excited to go out and play with it being a Palmer Signature Course. Disappointed in the condition of the greens, recently just aerated and that's fine we knew when booking, compared to the course I played yesterday that had aerated 2 weeks ago the condition was abysmal. There was like 2 greens that were atrocious and completely bare, others had green top dress on it to hide the dead spots.
Overall I loved the layout, alot of position play needed off some holes that dogleg and with the short par 4s. If it weren't for the unique layout the rating would be lower, the condition of the greens bring down the overall rating.

Where’s the green?
GN didn’t mention aerification. Rest of course decent but greens awful. There has to be better options for the money.
Hi. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Your feedback helps us do better. Thank you for visiting Crescent Pointe Golf Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Hope they will improve
Unfortunately, we arrived 3 weeks after the course was bought out. They were undergoing some major green repairs which left sand covering most of the greens and making them unplayable. It made it very difficult to enjoy our round. The staff was very friendly overall and I don't discredit them in this review. However, it would have been nice to know beforehand that the greens were going to be in this condition. A discount would have been appropriate before beginning our round. However, the manager gave us two rounds to use in the next 6 months. Hopefully we can make it down again and hopefully the course has some improvements by then.

Arnie Would be Devastated
I usually play the course once during our annual trip and noticed a continual decline in Course conditions, but this was the worst. Yes, I was surprised by the recent aeration as I wasn’t mentioned on their lacking webpage, but it was more than that…weeds and lacking grass everywhere. The carts are in poor condition. One of the comfort stations didn’t have water. Finally, I couldn’t book a tee time on their webpage for their course, but could for their other courses. I won’t be back.

Course needs work
The greens were in bad shape. The fairways were okay, but the tee boxes were terrible.
With the right management this course has great potential.
Pace of play was good and the staff is nice.
Hi Josh! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Not worth $72 to play this course
The pace of play was wonderful as I saw no other golfers on the course. The fairways were OK and the rough was very much so, with a lot of weeds where grass should be. I found the putting greens and pin placement to be quite difficult., and the greens were cut very close to the ground. The course lay out was nice but I found it to be quite difficult for a person of my abilities. I will not play here again.

This golf course is well designed and has a lot of interesting holes. It's a challenging course with a lot of bunkers and water hazards. There are quite a few elevated greens as well. The condition of the course has declined over the past few years, as I have played this course numerous times on trips to Hilton Head. The cost of a round here is fair based on the current condition as many of the courses in this area are more expensive. It was still a fun place to play and I will play here again in the future, but I'd like to see the management company running this facility put some investment into the course as it relates to the greens and tee boxes.
Hi Settemic,
Let us first say that we are so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. We work hard to create an enjoyable experience so you can focus on enjoying yourself and let us do the rest. We also want to thank you for your honest and constructive criticism of the course.

Thank you for visiting and playing at Crescent Pointe Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!
Terrible Shape
I would not recommend playing this course. It is currently in terrible condition. Tee box’s are not maintained, greens are very damaged. Very disappointed being an Arnold Palmer designed course with a lot of potential.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
