The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes
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.

Golfer Reviews
Fine February Friday
With afternoon rain forecast, I made an 830. Arrived at 805, checked in & was given green light to go. Rolled a few in the practice green&got an early start. That in and of itself made for a pleasant round.
Course in very good condition. Fairways were still smooth and the course obviously has good drainage. Sand, which I found 4x, was in equally good condition. Very playable. Greens, though having a "weed" growing, that did not alter ball trajectory. I hadn't seen that last year and was told it's seasonal.
It's a hybrid of a links design with low country water in play often. Really need to think shots through.
While I stayed in HHI, this course was worth the drive to pass others off of Route 278. Will be back.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes!
Great spot for winter round.
Really enjoyed my round. Course was in great shape for Jan…greens were actually very fast! Played with 2 super friendly member, moved pretty good. Wide open tee shots but challenging approach and greens. Highly recommend.

Good value for money
Nice layout, well maintained, good value for money for the area. No-one else out there on a cool windy cart-path only day, so pace of play was excellent. Cart parking brakes did not work.

Winter time golf
I was staying on Hilton head and decided to take a flyer and travel a little to golf. Hilton Head Lakes was rated pretty well in GOLFNOW and I wanted to golf a course that was a little longer and straighter than others on the island. Seems like most courses on Hilton Head dogleg right or left at 245-260 yards and. Needed a change.
I played from the tips at the lakes course and it was typical Winter conditions (fairways dormant, greens looking a little thin). however the course layout fit my eyes, greens were firm and I was ready to have some fun. I enjoyed the round and met a few locals on the course to share a little Jameson with. Would love to hit it again in late spring to see it greener.
Winter golf
First time playing the Hilton Head Lakes course. I like the layout and had fun playing it from the tips. Fairways were dormant as expected and runout in them was fairly short given the mild temperatures. the course was very open (bombs away) compared to other courses I played like Barony which were tighter and a little more strategic to play.
I met some locals in the threesome ahead of me and enjoyed chatting and sharing some Jamison (thanks John!) with them periodically as the groups backed up a little. I would love to play this in late spring when the course greens up. I will be back again
Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you again soon here at The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes.
Tale of two nines
Front side is crammed between houses and nothing special. Back nice is much nicer winding through woods with no houses. Greens were great and VERY fast!
Nice Course
The course was in great shape especially for this time of year and the greens were very fast and true
Even late fall conditions are good
Wonderful track. Love the rides between holes. Not walkable course but if you wanted a challenge you sure could get it on this one from the tips. Love it. Wish o had bought a home here.
Poor
Arrived at 8am for our 8.30 Tee Time , unable to get anything to eat or drink. Cart path only which was understandable course very wet. Front nine pace was good only one group in front of us , When we did the turn for the back 9 they had let out groups on the 10th hole. Nearly 3 hrs to play the back..saw the Marshall once but He did not seem interested. Not a good experience
Great Course
A great track with a real variety in hole design. Course was wet but greens rolled great and traps that had fried out were immaculate. This is a really fun course.
We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes!
Wide open
Wide open course. Water hazard didn’t come in play at all. Played in 4 hours, 15 minutes. I would recommend.
Put this track on the list
Drove from bottom of HHI and was happy we did. Good conditions ON FAIRWAYS AND GREENS compared to same green fee structure on HHI. Front 9 it’s bombs away, 2nd 9 closer to Parkland style with tighter fairways and rewards for hitting them straight. Long roll outs on fairways. Greens hold (if you come in high) and roll well.
Walked into club house to sign in - seemed organized and clean. Driving range - grass decks, full length, chipping area and putting green good layout. Score card photo-copied so green and red yardage was difficult to read. Water stations and bathrooms in the right places
If you plan to play 4-5 courses over 7 days this place is worth the drive and good value for money.
Good not great
The course was slightly burnt out and the greens were fast. The holes were very far apart, dotted through a subdivision that was actively being completed. I only played the front 9. But for the price/location not my favorite HHI golf course. Staff and pace of play are the highlights. The ranger drove all over the course with someone's missing 6 iron.
irishbigmike, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes.
