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 value for price

Never played before. I was down last fall and played Eagle point. It was a great layout, but the agronomy was terrible. I talked to pro there and he said that a group was taking over maintenance for both courses. At that time they had just taken over. I have degree in horticulture and could see what problems they were addressing on crescent pointe. I think in three months it will really make it a great course to play. I come down from MN twice a year, spring & fall. I'm going to play Eagle pointe before l leave and will probably see a different course from last fall. Apart from the course the staff treats customers like my private course in MN.

Decent price/value

Similar value proposition vs Eagles Pointe, but better layoit to start with. Low price point as reflected by the grounds keeping which could use some investment, namely teh bunkers and some of the greens.

A course with potential

Crescent is a pretty course that weaves through a residential development. Good variety of holes but the fairways are very thin and greens are already showing some rough patches. With a little bit of money this course could be special. The cart paths are horrible and when we arrived they informed us the GPS “may or may not work” yet we were still charged the full amount. If I found a discount rate I’d play it again.

Nice course with plenty of Water

Course is in good shape, friendly staff to greet you, GPS on the carts weren’t working that day.

Nice course, water on almost all holes. Bunkers need to be topped up with sand.

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.
