The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes
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.

Easy course for most people
Should be a fun course for most anybody… The staff was young and very friendly… I had a great time with my service dog and my girlfriend
good course
course and greens in good shape.
people working here were great.will be back many times.
Great Staff, Great Course, Great Weather, Great Time
Even though the greens had been aerated, we still enjoyed the game. The staff was extremely friendly, and quick to respond to our needs. Anybody who wants to play a course that is challenging in spots, test your game on this course. We've played here several times and that's why we keep coming back, even though it's a drive of some fifty or so miles.

Great day
Course is in great shape. You can really see the course shaping up for the season . Greens although recently sanded were smooth with no weeds. Fairway weeds were sprayed so looking good for the future. A playable course for all and a great value. New carts have arrived and clubhouse is almost done. Looking forward to a great year at HHL.

The course only had 9 holes open, the greens were very poor and the fairways very thin. Course is under developed.
Thanks

Terrible Customer Service
Have played the course a number of times without incident but when we arrived this time we were set up on a very rough looking cart so I asked for another one and was told they couldn't supply another one but if I continually pressed the brake it will eventually work. Cart started to die on the 12th hole and quit a few holes later. Partner walked to the pro shop and when the young guy came out with another cart he thought the whole thing was quite funny. After struggling with the cart for a number of holes I failed to see the humor in the situation. He said it was probably the third cart to quit recently. Before we left the parking lot I said how disappointed we were we did not finish our round and he said it wasn't his problem. He said we should have called for another cart. I told him we didn't have a phone and he said that was on us and we couldn't blame him for the problem. Because of his terrible attitude and lousy customer service we cancelled the two games we had booked for the following week and WILL NEVER RETURN. Should also mention when we arrived at the first tee there was a "sixsome" on the tee. All six guys teed off and fortunately when they saw we were a twosome they kindly let us go ahead of them. Unfortunately a very nice day was ruined by a young man who needs to learn something about customer service.
A little better than average
Course is a nice layout. Fairways were a little thin and dry, but you are able to roll you ball to find a piece grass to hit off. Greens were not bad. They were firm and rolled well. Staff was friendly.
Course evaluation
This course was a very nice course but when the housing development is finished it will probably be as good as any course in Hilton Head I appreciate the fact that I was able to play the course.
Good for price
Very nice layout. Greens and tees were good.
Fairways a little sparse but it is that time of year for carolinas. Pace of play was a little slow . Temp clubhouse but they are working on the new one. Great for the price we payed. Good course for coming into or out of Hilton Head area.
Sweet Sunrise
You guys did it again. Top notch service, Keith in the pro shop super friendly and accomadating. First off tee box, played with Bob who I just met, nice guy good convo. Allowed the 4 some residents to play through. Course conditions tee to green great shape especially since rain the prior day. Pace of play excellent. Sat morning bunkers not raked, other than that, great day. Love the course. Left buying merchandise at the pro shop. Clubhouse?????
Great afternoon of golf!
We had a great afternoon here!! Great pace of play! The fairways and tee boxes are a bit thin but the greens ate in awesome shape. The front nine winds through a housing development but they are not intrusive. The back nine is more in nature. Cart paths are great and lots of wildlife. Friendly staff. Would definately play here again!
Nice course
Little far out from HHI or Bluffton but worth the ride. Never crowded and excellent value for the money.
Good value
We like this course.We are playing again soon. Only negative is that the area is unshaded and dull brown.
Not a typical links style course
Tee boxes were a little beat up, greens were good, It looks like Mother Nature is the only water the course gets however considering the time of year... the course was pretty dry and brown. In terms of hazards, what you see is what you get, nothing hidden except the 9th hole, water in front of the green. Pretty windy the day we played would like to play again when not so windy. Cart ran OK but was in pretty bad shape, the cover to protect the clubs in case of rain was ripped to shreds.
Getting Better
Fairways have not 'blossomed' for full turf. Grass is there but is short and pretty thinly growing at this time. Greens were, for the most part, very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcome. The course layout is challenging. Bring your A game.
