The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes
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.

Hot…wet….but lovely!
We throughly enjoyed this course, however it was very wet from a previous day rain fall. Although wet, we enjoyed our time at the course. The fairways were wide with beautiful ponds and shade trees all along the way.
The drinks at the clubhouse were a nice reprieve from the hot and humid day!
We will definitely be back on a cooler, dryer day!
Who has the time and patience
We were in Hilton Head for a week and hit several courses in the area including The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes. We would like to give this a better rating since it had some favorable points but the course conditions were the worst we played on in our week there. Fairway grass was very thin in a majority of areas. The greens were especially poor. They were very thin in spots but even with that probably the slowest greens we have ever putted on. The staff were great, the pace of play was the best by far of all the courses we played, and the price was decent so those things brought our opinion back up a bit.
Needs a little love
I've played this course several times before. It's usually in pretty good shape. But tee boxes and fairways need a little love. I'm not sure if it's due to the snow the area got this winter, but for early May, some fairways are missing, like no grass growth. The greens were in decent shape. Hope the grass comes back soon.
What could have been
The course layout and practice area is good. The staff was very friendly and starter was great. Now for the bad the course had very little green but if you can get over that lies in the fairway we’re exceptional. The greens on the other hand were brutal they looked like they had been punched recently but that does not make up for the massive dead spots on several of them. Overall for the money not a bad course with an easy forgiving layout if greens were in good shape would be a gem. A very fair test of length and game from the tips
Great course
Everything was great from the staff at check to the condition of the course 5 Stars 🌟
Crescent point golf course
Great manage the green condition.
Very excited courses but it is little bit difficult.
I will recommend this course to my friends.
Very nice course and staff
Great staff, pace of play excellent under 4 hrs , nice club house , fantastic price , FYI just inform public about punched greens ,Will play here again.
Golfers
This course is need to inform golfers that greens have maintenance completed on them when booking tee times and let Golf now know this too !
Not a good visit this time.
It could have a been a much better experience if when i got there the guy behind the counter did not tell me that they are airing out the greens and they did not put that on Golf Now website. I think information as such should be listed on their website to make sure people know what they are walking into, especially after driving 45 minutes to get there. Unfortunately, we are living in a world where honesty and integrity have been replaced by greed. Not only the greens are sandy, but they had just watered them which made it as if you were putting on straight mud.
Overall, i forced myself to have a good time playing this course for the first time. I decided to play from the professional Tees, and it made it more challenging and fun which i liked. There are a few challenging holes which required some draw shots onto the fairways.
Law
No one working in pro shop or restaurant when we arrived, had to wait, but all worked out. Played in 3 1/2 hours, so pace was awesome
