Rating Snapshot
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.

Nice golf course
First time playing this particular course during a stay on the Island. Long drive from south end of Hilton Head, but worth the trip. Wide fairways, short rough and reasonable green complexes. A good layout for high handicappers, but OK for accomplished golfers as well. Course can stretch out in length for longer hitters. No real forced carries and most of the water is just a visual, not really in play unless you really spray the ball around.
We will be back.
My sons and sons-in-laws come with me to Hilton Head Island regularly for golf and we enjoyed this course as much as any we have played here. Big fare ways. Good greens, good layout, great pace of play, friendly staff, great food a really fun round. The course plays long but leaves you room to work. Very good practice area and the course was in beautiful condition.
HHL - Great Day!
Played on 6/3/20 for the first time ever. What a pleasant surprise! This course is HUGE and is a great, tough track from the Blue Tees (6600ish yds). Bring the lumber as you will be hitting Driver and your long game will be getting a workout. I loved the layout and routing of the course and the conditions were great. Fairways were firm and fast, the greens were large and receptive, and the staff was very very friendly. The greens rolled great - some of the best ones we’ve played. Our foursome played in 3:40 and barely saw anyone on the course.
Only knocks on HHL: #1 - it’s a very long drive out there from HHI. #2 - please water your tee boxes as they are super hard right now.
Bring your best Long Game/Best place to practice
I played Hilton Head Lakes prior to playing the island courses knowing that it was fairly wide open off the tee so I could dial in driver for the tighter tree lined courses. The course did not disappoint. Some soft spots due to a ton of rain, bur green were the definition of what average good greens should be. No bare spots and though the course doesn’t have a ton of risk off the tee it does force you to play a fairly long game of golf so pick the right tees.
I would ply again.
Was unable to play because of medical reasons. Recieived no help from course or Golf Now. Would like to be able to return there to play when available.
Great course!
Hilton Head Lakes is a wonderful facility. The golf course is in good shape, except for a few soggy spots. The greens are consistent. Counter, cart barn, and on-course beverage personnel are all friendly. The course plays a little long, but the fairways are generous. Be sure to watch for sleeping alligators!
Greens....
Tee box hard as a rock. Couldn't use plastic tee peg, would not go in turf without bending. Need water. Greens were verticut and they don't roll true. You have hit a kicknin or it's a lucky putt uf you make. Played here many times never been like this. If you play you'll see. Other than that course in good shape. Food was great. Cart girl great.
Nice Course, greens were rough
First time here and will go back. Greens were rough, looks like they were punched recently and still need to grow in. Good layout overall with friendly staff and best food / drink selection we have seen the past few weeks.
great course, nice pace on the front nine
as a 3 some we played slow on the back because we were behind a "6" SIX some, you got to be kidding me
Hi, thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us 3 stars!

Great Day with my Daughter
Booked a 10:00 am twosome and course wasn't busy, so got to play by ourselves which was nice for my daughter. No pressure and only got held up on about a dozen holes for 5-10 minutes each. Would have finished in 2 hours, but took 3. Broke 40 on the front, for the best 9 I've had in 2-3 years. Will definitely go back.
Great Southern Course
This is a very hard, flat course. Beautiful design & layout but the greens need a little TLC.
Average course
Problem was that course supervisor for over a week made it a cart path only? You could have easily pulled the ban today. No one told us it was cart path only.Im 63 and have bad hips. My wife has a bad knee.The older couple behind us were very upset too. I called golfnow to see if they could help but had a 2 hour wait to talk to them. Very sad when you travel a day to get down here and
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes another try in the near future.
