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.

Continued Improvements

Metro Golf Group has seriously increased the playability of this great layout. It seems they are really trying to restore the integrity of Arnold Palmer's design. If they continue improving throughout 2025, this course will be the course to play in the months to come. Great value already. Can't wait to come back.

Played with my nephew.

It was his second time to play ever. When we got there, it was like scotland weather, cool and rainey. Only forty eight players were on the course that day. However, we let three groups pass us because it was only his second time to play. We had to skip two holes and finished right at dark. My nephew had a blast! He almost hit the green on the first par three. He had a great putt and one other great shot. That's what keeps us coming back. The course was in great shape, pace of play was great and the staff is always friendly. We'll definitely play there again.

Great Course

Since new owners took over this course last year, major improvements in the course condition have been made.

This course has always been challenging, but now the greens and fairways are great shape. I would highly recommend this course.

Scotland Weather

We played the day after Christmas in english or scottish weather. It was raining to begin with but eventually stopped. There was a total of 48 players on the course that day. The pace of play was excellent. The green were in very good shape. My only pet peeve is that public course players don't rake the traps. Great value for the money.We'll come back.

Great improvements

I have been a member of The Crescent for 11 years. It was not until Metro Golf bought the course did significant changes begin. They are totally committed to making the Arnold Palmer Signature course top tier. The layout has always been second to none and now the conditions are getting better by the day. If you are visiting or live in the Bluffton area, play a round. You won’t be disappointed!

Great challenging layout

I have played The Crescent over the years but I found prior owners did not have the commitment to run a quality operation! Now new ownership have turned the corner for the course. The course has always been a chalange due to its layout and the Arnold Palmer design and specifications. However now they have the resources to make it happen. Having played the course several times over the last couple of months I have been very impressed. The course has been upgraded to be challenging and maintained in a very professional way. Play the course you won’t be disappointed.
