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 Arnold Palmer design

There are some great holes on the course. The greens were in good condition, although the fairways and rough were scrappy. The staff was very friendly. If the new management spends some money on the course, it will be a terrific deal.

Thinking Man's Golf

This is a fun course to put away your driver on. A lot of hidden trouble in the driver landing zone and a lot of punitive challenges for off-center hits. Keep it in the fairway and you're golden. Stray a bit and you're in trouble. We played early in the season and the rough was very fast. Balls never seemed to stop rolling. Friendly staff who were willing to give a good description of the more difficult holes before we went out. I would definitely return.

poor condition for the value

;Overall condition for late March was poor; range and putting green was very poor to start day; then course greens had some winter kill and were very hard; fairways had no overseer and were very tight as a result. Won't go back here for sure until issues cleaned up

Awesome!

First time playing this course. Immediately impressed with the clubhouse staff and the clubhouse! My son and I were paired with a couple of great guys, Rob and Scott, from Bluffton. Teed off on time and the pace of play was very suitable for our games. Greens and tee boxes were in great shape, fairways were a little short and dry. Enjoyed it tremendously and we plan on going back soon
