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.

Bad shape
It appears little to no money being put into the course to properly maintain it. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all rough. Cart paths and all wood bridges are in really bad shape - some patched with plywood and holes in the decking. If you consider $60 cheap, it was cheap, but hardly worth the money.
Overpriced Goat Track
We paid for 18 and left after 9. Range is great if you want to practice ever shot from the sand. Greens have as much grass as the range. You can’t tell the difference between the fairways and the rough, each consisting of more weeds than grass. Arnie is probably rolling over in his grave knowing his name is associated with this cow pasture.

Crescent Pointe 4/15/23
I played CP Saturday 4/15/23. 8 handicap playing about 70 rounds a year. Tee boxes and fairways are decent. Greens have a little fungus but this will be gone in couple weeks when hot weather hits. Totally puttable. The cart paths have been repaired and are much, much better. Excellent and interesting layout with no “dumb” holes. Wildlife all over the place.
The course will continue to improve with warmer weather and less rain. But the people here are outstanding. Connie in the pro shop is an absolute gem. Outside staff and bar staff were super friendly. If you want a laid back, no hassle, great value round then I highly recommend CP.

The layout is great and each hole is different and challenging. However the course conditions were less than average. No grass in the fairways and the cart paths need a lot of work. With average playing conditions this course would be a gem. I sincerely hope they improve the course conditions as I would play it regularly.

Beautiful layout.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful layout. Yes there are a few rough spots right now but it's still a great experience.

Used to be one of the best public tracks in bluffton, now the course is in awful shape. Terrible greens, no real rough or fairways, bunkers over sanded, and the driving range was completely grass free. Awesome layout and very nice people, but to charge $50 even with the cart is way to much money. Really disappointed because I’ve lived in the low country most of my life and this place was always awesome. Not so much anymore

Law
Have played Crescent before, but this will be the last! Condition of course was horrible, greens had no grass only short weeds and fertilizer painted green, tee boxes had only a few weeds and dirt, fairways weeds! My grandson ordered a hotdog at the turn, only 1, was given two and charged 23.00, for a hotdog! They even charged 50 cents for water that you got yourself, not bottled! Golf now should remove from it’s offers, it will definitely be off ours. With some money put into course, it could be a good venue, but as it stands, Arnie would be ashamed to have his name associated with it!
Nice layout, the Palmer design quality still apparent.
Pro shop staff were good. Good location. The community and homes around it are nice. Saw some cool birds, animals around.
The grounds condition here suggests the crew were sent home during Covid and not enough of them were asked to return. Course seems like it has private club design and a town owned Muni maintenance budget.
Had fun playing it and do not discourage anyone from doing so, just have reasonable expectations about the condition.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
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 us.
Neglected Gem
Crescent Pointe used to be a beautiful Arnold Palmer course. It now is now in compromised condition. The greens are thin with what appears to be a fungus or moss. Tee boxes are just dirt with limited grass. Fairways are spotty. Irrigation leak on #8 flooded the fairway. Not one decent lie in any fairway. So sad to see what was once a great course.
