The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes

I couldn't have had a more pleasant round, meeting good people who know how to enjoy a good course and facilities. The cart master was helpful and encouraging: a keeper. The same is true for the woman running the snack bar: obviously a knowledgeable golfer and happy human being. We also met a gentleman from Ohio with a Buckeye tattoo on his arm: his daughter, only four, was a delight, too.

Will always come back for another round. Only reason not 5 Stars was Very Wet. Not much course can do.

Great condition and very playable. Moves quickly and smoothly. 35 +34= 69

When we arrived we were offered to go off early to beat a group of members. Course played well. We came to 6th hole and caught up with a twosome. The pace came to a crawl. We we made the turn the starter started another twosome in front of us (at the 10th) who were just beginning their round. I confronted the started and he was unapologetic about it. This group was even slower and we lost all rhythm watching these people hack their way around. The course claimed to be super busy but no cart person on course.

Nice course-, great staff -unfortunately rained on us but will definitely go back.

I am a hacker visiting from the left coast....this course has very generous fairways in very good shape. Greens were easy to read. Practice area was convenient and in excellent shape . Pro shop staffer was top shelf Personally assured that I got a cart when one became available after the morning rush. Even Ice cold water at two stops on the course!

Could have more ball washers, only two bathrooms on the whole course other than those small things, it was a great time.

Very forgiving fairways, challenging layout and fast greens - what a blast!!

We had a great day at the Lakes. The course was in great shape except for the greens. Many of the greens had dead spots from recent treatments. They were also a bit on the bumpy side as well.

SUPER friendly staff and very helpful! The fairways are super tight and seemed a little thin - frustrating for me. That's the only negative I have. Both times I caught groups they allowed me to play thru as soon as made sense.

This is a challenging course. The fairways are generous enough and real trouble is usually well out of play, if not there's a safe side. The Bermuda roughs can be brutal, unlike the fairways they are thick.

This is a great course especially for a middle handicapper. A number of challenging par fours but it is fairly wide open. Greens were in good shape. They have a nice patio for a drink and the food is good. Highly recommended!

Pretty good course except for consistently crowning of every hole. It makes putting more difficult than it should be. Not sure why this issue has continued. Great if you want to inflate your handicap, but frustrating if you lag put and watch ball veer consistently away from whole at last second. If you hit put harder to stay online it hits pin and goes off to either side or over the hole if pin is out. PGA pros would never accept this condition.

I drove to Hilton Head area to play this course and I wasn't disappointed. The fairways are manicured and the greens were receptive and rolled well. It was quote a long round only because it was "cart path only" from the rain in the previous days. But...what are ya' gonna do when God makes rain. The staff at the snack window (at the turn) were very pleasant. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich that was one of the best I've had in SC, being a NY transplant for the past 25 years. Enjoy this course but be wise with you teeshots. There is trouble in many spots. Use your 3W when it's called for and you'll be fine. Be the ball.

Overall the course is a nice track.. It is very forgiving on most holes and I would recommend it to anyone.. The course could use a little more maintenance in some areas as well as the carts. We ended up going thru 3 carts on this round.. which from past experience seems to be a fluke... Overall very playable and we will be back again.

Starter was unorganized and was making last minute changes to the line up. Mowers impeded the play often. Fairways were cut too short and had clumps of grass all over them. Rough was not cut enough.

My first time here. Prior rain left the course wide open. Literally! I was THE only person on the course. Most areas drained well, but the occasional slop was not unexpected.

I loved the layout. A combination of reasonably wide fairways, challenging approaches, and traps positioned to snare the errant ball strike will make you think each shot. Greens held firm with wet conditions and are likely tougher when dry.

It was a bit of a hike from HHI resort areas but worth the trip.
