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.

Keeps getting better
Have been playing this course for the last 4 years and it is in the best shape I've ever seen. If you can get a hot deal you won't find a better value anywhere. Greens smooth, fairways green and weed free.
We have been playing this course for years and it is in as good a condition now as we have seen it.
Best Deal Near Hilton Head
Great fairways, greens and tees. Fairly open layout. Sand traps are 5/10 due to not being machined raked and some compacted.
Slow play
I have played this course four times in the last month and each time it has been over a five hour round. The pro shop makes the decision to start off front and back everyday and slows the course to a halt.
Wife fairways
Even if you mishit a shot you can recover with a good next shot. Greens were true and speed acceptable. Price very reasonable, will definitely play next time in the area.
Beautiful
New course since they have got a new clubhouse! Seems they have higher standards now. Everything looked amazing except one small flaw. Bunkers was horrible. I know it has rained but course I have worked at didn’t matter. Every morning they got turned up and raked. Even on sundays. Staff in clubhouse dining area greeted me very nicely. The two kids behind the desk was more worried about what was on their phones and their conversation than answering my questions about the course. I have played here a lot and this is about the best I have ever seen this course. Greens still slow and little bumpy in places. But they had grass all around and it was green and not crunchy. Please play. And a added bonus they had a beer girl. Seen her only on the back but it was 3x’s.
PLAY THIS COURSE!!!
This course has wide fairways and perfect greens. The staff is beyond courteous. As nice or nicer than any of the other courses in the area. The course is in perfect shape with zero bad spots. Challenging enough to enjoy but not so hard you feel like a horrible player.
Great conditions and wide open
Lots of room to shank the ball and still not worry about houses. Usually when golfing in the Hilton Head area the course is dried up and half sand, but this one was just as green as the pictures. Also saw 4 baby alligators far away which was really cool.
Great value, good conditions considering
Following a number of days with a lot of rain, this course played fairly well. Some bunkers were a little wet, but the fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were rolling at about a 10 and were fairly consistent. Front nine was 90 degree rule and the back was cart path only. We played in just 4 hours.
A lot better shape than three years ago
Course was in real good shape. Greens were a little inconsistent, some slow some fast. Marshal was real serious. Don’t break ANY rules. Fun course though. Also wide open. Great beginner course
Hi there! We want to hear more about your experience with us! Please call us at (866) 396-3230. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Big difference from last played
Course was in good shape. Had playd it 3 yrs ago. Greens and fairways were much better and good value. Greens were being fertilized but good speed and true. Will put this on our list for next year.
Great Course
The course was in great condition and the people are so friendly.
Wide open beautiful course
Great course, friendly staff, no liquor licence when we played as the clubhouse is brand new.
A Tale of Two Cities
Course is in great shape...kudos to the grouds super and crew!
Beautiful new clubhose and very nice looking restaurant...BUT seems to be a problem with getting someone in to run the restaurant with the ability to sell beer...I don’t mind because I don’t drink beer when playing golf but the threesome from New Jersey that I played with was not happy at all about no brewski!
