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.

Great potential
You can really see this course could be amazing. Unfortunately, neglect has left it patchy and unkept. Very loose soil and thin grass make any shot not perfectly struck play like a bunker shot. The layout is amazing, but Arnie is rolling over in his grave at the current condition.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, Jstutt. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
poor course condition
Although the staff was friendly and accommodating, the course was in need of upkeep on cart paths, tees and fareways.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of our cart paths, tees, and fairways. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration to improve our course. Thank you for visiting.
Crescent Point Golf
It was a fun Course to play, T boxes were not well kept. Need to offer better food at the turn. The hotdogs we ate made us sick to our stomachs. We were unable to get to the cafe in the morning due to some meeting. should have a separate room for that.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the T boxes and the food options. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our service.
2025, maybe
Last I played this course, ten years ago, I really liked it. It is a good layout, and was one of the better bargains in the HH area. It’s sad to see what has happened to the course in the interim. I was told it was purchased in April and they are trying to bring the course back. It won’t be this year, and I’d guess it won’t be next year either. Might be good to play if 2025 if they apply constant effort to its repair.

Just ok golf course
Arnold would be very disappointed to has his name tied to this course. It is a little run down and the greens were so slow due to the height of the grass on greens. Some of the greens were bad and some tee boxes were dirt. You get what you pay for and this place is no different.

Nice Layout
Nice layout and staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the greens were very slow and several had damage and were under repair. I would play it again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
HHI vaca
Played Crescent years before, enjoyed it. Few of the greens had some GUR, nothing to worry about. 18th hole has temp green… all in all, great experience
, good price, loved the course.

Ground under Repair
Went off early on a Monday morning. Course is in much better shape than the last time I played and clearly they are putting money and work into the course. Three to four of the greens were unplayable because the maintenance staff was resodding certain areas of the green. Would have been nice to know this in advance and personally $64 for a course in that condition simply isn’t fair. Headed in the right direction but I would wait until next year to give it a try again.
Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the maintenance work on the greens. We are glad to hear that you noticed improvements in the overall condition of the course and we will make sure to communicate any future maintenance work in advance.
Great staff deserves another shot in the future
Although i do not recommend it at this time, i will come back.
Despite the horrible course condition, the staff deserves another shot. I will come back in a few months and see if the conditions improve. With all the work they are doing, I believe so!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for the current condition of our golf course, but we appreciate your recognition of our hardworking staff. We will work towards improving the course conditions and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Horrible conditions
Drove all the from Florida to play what seemed to one of the nicer courses in the area, some of the worst greens I’ve ever played on and fairways seemed to be all under maintenance. Don’t recommend to anyone trying to play this course, save your money.
We apologize for the negative experience you had with the conditions of our greens and fairways during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will work to address these issues in order to provide a better experience for our customers. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Jeff
Was disappointed in the cost of stuff in bar area. You expect to pay more, but tacking a service charge on top of the price was a first for me.
$40 bucks for 6 beers is a little steep.

Very poor shape
Greens and cart paths are ridiculous. Bridges have boards missing. Very dangerous. Nothing like when I went several years ago. Would not go again.

Disappointed
The front nine was fairly well maintained, but the back nine was terrible; muddy, greens were chewed up, cart path had bare areas and broken concrete resulting in a very rough ride.

Getting better
I’ve played this course dozens of times since it opened. Over the past few years it’s truly been neglected! But you can see it’s got new owners. They are already making a difference. I played here last fall and it’s already in a LOT better condition! The greens had grass and they are repairing the cart paths. Keep up the work- it’s making a huge difference for a gorgeous layout!!!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience at our golf course. We apologize for any previous neglect, but we are glad to hear that our efforts as new owners have made a noticeable difference in the course's condition. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with a great golfing experience.
Rough shape
Not well manicured. One green not playable and a couple in bad shape. Challenging course, pretty but in rough condition.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We strive to maintain a well-manicured course and will work diligently to address the areas that are in need of improvement. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
