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.

Will Play Again

Our round was just after the big snowstorm and it was CPO, understandably so. There were many wet spots in the fairway but the greens were in amazingly great shape.

If you like wide fairways this the place to play. Never seen fairways this wide. Inside & outside people were very friendly and informative about the course.

A lot of water but quite playable.

Played shortly after some very heavy rain but the course was still playable. Some wet spots but for the most part just like normal. Greens were excellent.

Surpisingly Challenging

Great course with the front and back two very separate experiences. The front intertwines with the home community and the back is in a nature preserve which is beautiful and amazingly quiet.

You can spray your driver and not be OB on most holes, but the real challenges lay inthe green structures and surrounds.

A must-play if you want to be off-island!

Hilton Head Lakes

First time playing Hilton Head Lakes. Great course lay out, the course in in excellent shape. Greens are very slow compared to North East. So many great, challenging holes. Most holes are secluded with thick woods in between the holes. Lot's of nature, between the aquatic birds, gators, turkey and hawks. With about a 20 mile wind, this course plays long from the whites. No run on most tee shots. Over all a good layout, in great condition at a far price.
