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.

Terrible shape
I know winter conditions are not always great but this course was in horrible shape. No grass at all in fairways. Course not very well maintained. Most of the greens were ok but a few were terrible.
Layout is actually challenging which I liked.
Hopefully I just caught the course at a bad time. Maybe when weather improves course conditions will also.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future to earn that last star!
Too bad
A great layout, this course has been left to the dogs. Condition is absolutely the worst in the Bluffton/Hilton Head Island area. Not even close. Go play somewhere else because this is not worth $60 or $50. At lunchtime the restaurant was closed and there was just an assistant pro (nice guy) to run the entire show.
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.
Course was in terrible shape. 15th green had no grass on it all. Cart parts were very bumpy, you had to drive slowly most of the time. No food or drink available at the turn or afterwards. Not a good golf experience.
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.

A Very Good Course Gone South
I have been playing this course for several years now. I was always impressed not only with the layout and challenge of the course but the condition of the course. This year the quality of the course at least for these winter months of January/February has gone soouth. The condition of greens and teeboxes was very diasapoointing. Can no longer recommend this course until the quality is fixed.

Course was a letdown!
Course conditions were the worst I have ever experienced. The designer would be very disappointed. There were no beverage or snack options and the range balls you have to purchase were cracked and also in poor condition. Take pride in yourself as a course and as a business. The rate is nowhere near being acceptable. $65 for 18 is excessive. I have played $25-40 courses in 10x better shape.

Hilton Head Golf in February
I have always liked the layout of Crescent Pointe GC but it has lost its glamour over the past 3 years since new management (Holiday) took it over.

Not The Best
Most of the greens were acceptable but the fairways were completely brown. The cart paths were terrible. I did like the variety of layouts for each hole The price through GolfNow made it a value

Hardly any grass in the fairways and cart paths are deteriorating and in repair.

Course was in horrible shape but you still felt the need to charge $75 and had no drinks or snacks available.

Cart Path & Greens
This was the 4th time I have played this course over the last 10 years. Since the first time I played the course, it appears that care for the course is going in a negative direction. The Cart paths are in terrible condition and at the very least could use gravel where there is no cement and where the cement is heaved, those sections either need replaced or removed, and gravel added. Granted February is not the most ideal month to play the course and expect a beautiful layout, but it is obvious that when prices re on the rise that course care is on the decline to maintain profits. I have always liked the course for its variety of shot making needed to play the course. It is a fun course but could be so much more.

Greens were ok. Traps were ok. But no winter overseeding, so fairways were dormant and brown. The course just seems to need a lot of TLC. Management company is letting it go to pot.

Stairways and greens like hitting off concrete. Conditions were terrible. Would never play at this course ever again.
