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.

Nice value

I enjoyed the course. Well maintained and greens rolled nice. It was just very HOT! Like 104 degrees which made it tough, but the course has a nice layout, challenging but not too tough to enjoy. I will play here again.

Nice course for the money...

I have played this course numerous times and it allows you to "get away with" an errant tee shot on most holes.. The course was in very good shape when we played and the greens were fast and true. It plays long from the blues and you will get your monies worth. The staff is friendly, and willing to help and we will definitely play it again in the very near future..

Great course.

Overall good experience. Fun layout and not too hard. The greens and tee boxes could use some attention but they were fine for play. Greens rolled good just inconsistent speeds. Right now it's the best course near Hilton Head.

Very nice course for the money

My wife, son, and I played the course for the first time. We were impressed with the course conditions. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in great shape. The wide fairways make it a forgiving course which I think speeds up play. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to try a challenging layout.

Good value for the money

Course in good shape. A very open course surrounded by water, but few water hazards in play. A super slow foursome in front of us who we finally had to just pass and go to next hole. Ice and water machines midway on each nine, very welcome. Good quality carts. Nice driving, putting, and chipping ranges. Course and roughs very manageable for an occasional golfer, with wide fairways and forgiving greens. Restaurant indoor service closed due to Covid.

Course is in great shape, especially considering how difficult it is to maintain during the summer burn. Rough was thick and greens rolled pure. Will definitely be back!

Improvement over time

Played this course initially about 7-8 years ago. It has come a long way. Wide open layout and very fair, but with some real challenges as well. No real on course amenities - but we are in a pandemic. A few of the par-5’s are a real challenge. Enjoyed the day. Happy there was at least some water stations. Nice range. I would come back.
