The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes

Staying in Hilton Head, checked out the Golf Club at HH Lakes and glad I did. Great course, overall well maintained; challenging yet fun, and worth the drive!

Funny that my GPS would not take me to the course...luckily the signage on the road was excellent. For the area this is a reasonable priced course, and being cheap I chose it, now that my wife has quit playing golf I hate to spend too much money. A small clubhouse, but I go to play golf, not shop and dine. They have a nice practice area, but being so sandy it would have been nice to have club cleaning out there on the range at least...small item, but I they did not even have club stands on the range so I brought my bag...everything was damp from the weather and, as I mentioned, very sandy. The course is nice and open...I didn't miss one fairway truth be told. very forgiving course. The fairways were in good condition, but the greens pretty much impossible to enjoy. There were little tuffs of grass everywhere and your ball bounced and hoped the entire way to the hole.

But another cool feature, they had ice and water machines...the ball washers were working, complete with towels...and flush toilets on both nines. If it wasn't for the greens, it would have been a very good experience. They are so close to good...oh, I ran out of sand to fill divots...the little things that are annoying, not club stands, no club washers, running out of sand...

The greens were in bad shape with weeds. The layout was nothing special- especially the front nine where everything was just wide open. Picked the course of the name Fazio. Turns out it’s Tommy Fazio (guessing they’re related somehow).

Great sunny day course is a good layout and conditions were good for this time of year. Golf was fun. The poor part is had 5 staff members in the pro shop not one greeted or interacted with me. The person that waited on me actually had ear buds in and I thought he was on the phone when he was actually talking to me. He never looked up to make eye contact to acknowledge me. When I went out to go play my clubs were still in the bag drop so I had to load my own bag. No guidance on where to go to the first hole so I asked and got a generic go this way and it’s right there. Well I played the tenth hole before I realized it was not one. Once I got to the correct hole I found a group ahead of me that was never mentioned. So I played the front nine In close to 2:45. Once on the back side nobody out there after the shotgun had finished. When I finished my round I came back to the bag drop and unloaded my own clubs while the cart guy watched me and continued to wash carts. I didn’t really feel very important as a golfer playing there course. I am an avid golfer from the Atlanta area and am a member of a country club and routinely tip the help but I do expect to be treated like your happy I’m there.

Cart path only. Walked 5 miles with cart. Course was wet everywhere. Greens had mixed growth of different grasses.

Greens were bumpy, cart path only after all the rain which was the correct call. Fairways were wide open, not one of fazio’s best layouts

Rates way to expensive for winter conditions with wet and sparse grass

This course really needs better drainage. It did rain a couple of days ago, but I played another course the day after and it was in better shape than this was. Which is a shame because this is a great course under normal circumstances, but today, it was a mess.

Good layout, but poor shape. Very wet and fairways had very little grass

Rain ended in the early morning and every step on the course was like walking on a sponge. Solid shots were rewarded with a spray of mud all over you and almost every shot had absolute zero roll. The layout is very nice with an interesting blend of holes, lots of water, good bunkering and exceptional greens. Wide open driving opportunities make this a fair test for all handicap levels. Play forward as the course plays longer than you might think. I’ll have to come back on a hot, dry summer day and play this one again.

All I heard since moving down here in June 2020, was that this course was the best bang for the buck! And they were all right ! The scenery was fantastic, the tee boxes were groomed, the fairways bounded forward and rolled, the pine needles were fluffy, and the greens were a putting treat.....they rolled nicely with a good pace. They all had very subtle bends and curves, but were fair at the same time. I can't wait to go back and play this course in season, but left completely satisfied in the off season. Thank you for a great day on your course!

A friend recommended me to the course. Played last November (not sure of the date) Brought my son and our two grandsons. Unfortunately we only got 11 holes because of weather. Hope to get back soon but was not offered a rain check.
