About
The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes is a Tom Fazio design that is challenging, but with five sets of tees it is versatile enough for players of all skill levels. Fazio deftly utilized the native wetlands and numerous lakes that are interspersed across the landscape, incorporating them along the expansive fairways and angled greens. The tricky greens have been carefully molded and contoured to offer a variety of pin placements. In addition to the water hazards, there are also numerous strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. The golf course will test your shot-making skills as well as your creativity. To complement the golf course, Hilton Head Lakes offers an equally impressive 36-acre, double-ended practice facility with target greens, bunkers, multiple practice greens, and even a par-3 short course.

Course review
Greens were dyed/spray painted. Decent shape- not great. Fairways ok, but quite a lot of burnt out sections. Fairly open course. Back nine is much more scenic and challenging. Honestly - expected more.

Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes May 20,2022
The course itself was in decent condition, not $75 dollar conditions. The layout was a fun course, greens were very firm couldn’t hold even a wedge in. Pin placement was ridiculous, inches from fringe and on absurd undulations. Was rushed on 17 and 18 because cart manager/ marshal “wanted to go home”. Overall would not recommend unless price drops or conditions rise.

Average. Some maintenance issues.
This is a nice course with a friendly staff. My only issue was the sand traps. There were many, and it was like hitting the ball through clay. Frankly, I’m no expert sand trap maintenance, so I don’t know what you do to dry them out or fluff them up, but these were really bad.
Overall, we had a nice round, other than this issue.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Golf course
The back 9 was in really good shape
I thought the front 9 was a bit dry and greens a bit bumpy

Great golf course
Our only disappointment today was the fact the bar/pub was closed for the day. It's nice they gave them the day off on Mothers day, but could not even get water or any drinks all day (except vending maching on 12th hole.)

The Lakes
Grasses were just greening up, pace of play was just under 4 hours. Front nine is a little boring but the Back more than makes up for it. Nice value under $70.00, good wildlife had a water moccasin on 18 tee box which was interesting.

Not worth the money
Great course layout.
Sub par conditions.
Greens ruined the day.

Needs work
This course is going to take some time and groundskeeper work before I would rate it higher. Poa Annua covers the fairways and greens. The traps were not managed and needed sand. I only played the front nine and two holes had some imagination. The back nine on the card looked a little more challenging. It’s just a new course that needs professional work to be rated higher. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was fine. If you are just looking to find a lower cost course and not worried about your lie or true putts, it will fill that expectation.

Bad Greens
The greens were terrible. They were covered by Poa Anna sprouts that caused your putts to bounce back and forth on the way to the cup. We've played there for a number of years, and this is the worst I've seen it.

Good Day
Really like this course, forgiving but still makes you make the shots. Too bad the greens aren't up to scratch yet.
