Crescent Pointe Golf Club
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.

Very Cold Winter Golf
Very cold day. Course was empty. Some difficult challenging carry shots. A few unmarked hidden hazards. Will know better next time. would play it again in warmer weather. Fairways ok for winter. Bunkers well maintained. Greens were cut, and painted. very consistent roll. good course for the low price.
Great layout, but needs some TLC
You can feel the potential in this course, but I feel it needs some significant maintenance to bring it back to a Hilton Head course. My family is staying on another course but wanted to try to save some money...we would have been better off spending the extra money for the fairway and green conditions that our home course had.
Great course
Great course just needs
some water. Fairways are basically non existent.
Challenging Course
Third time we have played the course is like any other at this time of the year in SC. WE completely enjoyed it! Back nine is better shape than front, but Fairways and Greens are getting there for sure
Getting better
Nice course, conditions are vastly improved over last year. Extremely friendly staff. My go to course off island.
Greens need grass
Grass was very thin on the greens, making every putt very bumpy.
Tight course, better hit them straight.
Fun round and great value
This is a great course. It’s a bit dry now, so the greens seem to be growing in a bit. They were a bit bouncy when putting. I’ll be back later in the season to see if they get grow in and get trimmed to what I normally experience here.
Not in great shape
We had a nice day on the course, and really enjoyed the layout, but the course was in rough shape.
