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.

Dissatisfied
This course is so completely unkept it’s beyond words. Every tee box is overgrown with weeds and clumpy uncut grass.
Fairways are OK but anything just off the fairway is knee high weeds unless you’re under trees where pine straw is covering the ground.
The greens are utterly and sadly without grass …like a pool table with splotches of “not sure” grass.
The sand trap’s were the only good part of this golf course. … had good sand and were surprisingly groomed.
Really fun course. Super friendly staff. Lots of wild life and beautiful views.
Hello Max! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club.
Disappointed
We have played at Crescent many times and have never seen the course i m such terrible shape. It was overgrown and with weeds everywhere. The tee boxes were either bare i uncut. It was clear there hasn’t been any maintenance in a long time. It was very sad to see.
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.

Crescent Point GC in the Spring
I have played this course several times in the past. This time the greens were the worst I have ever seen them. It may be that the Bermuda Grass is not yet thriving due to slower heating up this spring. The layout is quite nice with multiple beautiful marsh views. Due to the residential location, quite a bit of time has to be spent navigating between green and next tee. I have played in the past and enjoyed much better course conditions.

Crescent Pointe GC- Bluffton, SC
Being very honest! Very disappointed in the course conditions. For being an Arnie designed, premium golf track, it was a buzz-kill.
Tee boxes were shabby at best. Fairways were OK. Rough and Traps need plenty of work. Just looks like there's no money being invested in the course. "If" I played ever it again, I wouldn't pay more 35$ to play it.
Two our foursome backed after investigating the conditions.

Course conditions
The overall course conditions were ok, which is a far cry from the practice putting green and chipping green. The course greens need attention, hopefully, that can be sure solved as the weather warms.

COW PASTURE
This course is in a state of freefall, declining to the depths of despair I have rarely encountered.
The tee boxes were atrocious
The greens were moldy.
The greens haven’t been punched and sanded in a long time.
The fairways were below standard.
This course is not a $60 course, maybe $35.
I would not recommend playing this course.

Course has a good layout but has not been taken care of as fairways were brown and dry and greens were not in good shape.
Hope it can be improved.

Poor conditions
Terrible conditions of the course.
Cart paths were absolutely terrible.
Green were in poor condition.
More grass on the greens than on the fairway. And not in a good way.

Surprised!!!
Probably the worst, no the worst HHI course based on conditions. However, the layout and the challenge of the course was outstanding. It does not change the fact the the conditions were very bad!!! They should have told and warned us of this.
I will give it a year or two hopefully it will become a jewel!!

Hard Times
Played 4/21/23. We vacation in HH every year about this time. usually play Crescent Pointe every year and it has been one of our favorites. I play municipal courses at home and I am not a golf snob by any stretch of the imagination. Crescent is on hard times right now. Greens look black with green paint. Course doesn't look like it has seen water in months, cart paths are broken with roots and potholes and the wooden bridges need a lot of work. We love the layout and truly hope things turn around in a hurry.
Hi
We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies.
We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right and determine how we can provide a solution that makes you smile.
