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.

Course has nice layout...
Greens were fast and I liked the layout of the course. We ran into difficulty on the back 9 with having to constantly wait to play and ended up not finishing the course due to time constraints...started us out on back 9 but when we came to the 1st tee there was a foursome ahead of us and a threesome ahead of them. Waited constantly.
Good value for your money
Course has a great layout to give you a challenge, great friendly staff . Good golfnow hot deal
Good Time!
Course was in good condition for the time of year. New clubhouse being built. Disappointed that there was no refreshment cart since it is very inconvenient to stop at the turn for snack or beverage. Problem solved once new clubhouse opens. Greens in good shape. Overall a good experience for a last minute round in December!
First time, great time
My first round at Hilton Head Lakes. Passed it many times on the way to other courses but will check this course out first in the future.
Course is in great shape with great greens, nice fairways and tee boxes. Traps need a little maintenance as do most of the courses in this area. Other than that, its a course you should consider your next time out.
Good Golf Course
I enjoyed playing there very much. The staff is very friendly and the course is a great value.
Great layout, Excellent green conditions.
The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes is well laid out, has challenges but can be navigated with patience. If you are looking for a course in great condition with near perfect greens, this course is well worth the time and price.
Great greens for December
Played here many times and it keeps getting better. New sand in traps, greens rolled true. This course is a must play right now. I live in Bluffton and play them all and this course is among the best for winter golf.
Great condition
I played here in December. The greens were perfect. Good speed, no ball marks, smooth. Generous fairways but challenging approach shots as is the case with most Fazio designs. Fan of George (once head pro at Pine Valley), not so much of Tom, but son seems to be good. Tom and Ernie Ransome did a great short course at PV and there is a short course here. Clubhouse under construction, great range, and practice facilities. Quite a ways off the island but easy to find and not crowded. Great value.
Look at the gator bunker picture. A big one must have played through. They were working on the bunkers today as well.
Good time
I love playing the game. I am willing to adjust to any course, especially if the greens are in good shape. These greens were just right for re. I had a great day out there.
Staff is great, the young man who helped me with the cart was great, just an all around great day for golf.
I always play here when I visit the area and the Golfnow.com prices cannot be beat.
Great again
When ever we come to HHI, we book this course, always friendly staff, they make you feel like your playing at home.
The greens had been double cut, what a pleasure to play on.
Can’t wait to see what your new club house will look like.
Keep up the great work.
Excellent Greens
The greens could not have putted better. If you love great greens play here. Fairly wide fairways but some have raps that will catch errant tee shots.
Great day
The greens are in great shape, a little slow yet true to your stroke.
Fairways are wide open and in good shape.
One bunker tbat my ball 'fell into' was hard as dirt. Otherwise was a great day of golf.
Great Value
Excellent condition-fairways and greens. Wide, but very long. New clubhouse is under construction.
James goes Hilton Head Lakes
Greens are very good. Sand traps well maintained.
Driving range, putting green. NEW clubhouse nearing completion. Fazio Course; nice layout with most water not a threat. Course now has restroom locations on course. Good Choice for play!
