The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes

Course is in great shape. Course is right in front of you with wide fairways and big greens with huge breaks

A few months ago, my playing partners and I decided we were not going to play this course due to the decline in conditions. The staff has always been great but the course conditions declined over the last couple of years or so. I found a hot tee time yesterday because I heard from a friend the place was in good shape again. Wow, were they right or what! The tee boxes looked great, the fairway was healthy and the greens very true (guessing an 11 or 12 stemp). Early in the year, poana had taken over these greens. Not a trace of that yesterday. I highly recommend playing this place for those who like the score friendly member tees or the challenging black tees. Great job to the grounds keepers and staff at HH Lakes!!!

This was our third round on this course. The first was a winter round and the course was soggy leaving a bad impression.

Two weeks ago we decided to play again and were pleasantly surprised. At that time the greens had just been aerated so putting was annoying. Yesterday we returned again and I have to give them credit. Fairways, tees and greens were in great shape. I hope they keep it up.

Played the course for the fist time. Experience was great starting with the staff. The course was fun to play with it large fairways, which were in excellent condition. upon reaching the green, I found the surface to be plush, though a little slow. I was able to complete my round in under 4 hrs. Pace was good. The only things I would comment on is the clubhouse and availability of drinking water on the course.

It rained two days prior to our tee time and as result, two holes were "under water", as they put it, so we were unable to play holes 11 and 12. So, thinking I had purchased an 18 hole round of golf, we only got 16 holes. THIS important info, had it been available to me online, would have made me stay away from the purchase. I'm looking to post a full score for 18 holes!!! There's no reason why the manager of this golf course couldn't get on golfnow and place this info on the site as info to potential customers.

So, after the attendant told me we were playing a 16 hole golf course and I took gut punch #1, I swallowed my pride and said "ok, no problem. i'll take a large bucket of balls." "incoming!" Stomach punch #2... He said, the range is closed!!! Yup... the range is closed. I had my young son with me and this was his first time golfing in more than a year due to a sports injury, so I was coming to a facility that ADVERTISES they have a world class practice facility and 18 holes that stretched to 7,300yds... the clincher in my decision to buy the two tee times, because I wanted him to get some good practice beforehand. We came an hour early to hit balls. But, it was closed!!! When we drove the cart to the range they had a putting green (hadn't been mowed in a day or more ) and a chipping green (hadn't been mowed in days and days - shag carpet). And there were a row of hitting stations with a large expansive field that just sat empty.

The greens on the course were so slow it made putting the ball extremely upsetting. You had to blast the ball to get it to the cup and you just don't play golf that way, unless you're in the "pre-lawn mower" era. You'd at least expect the greens to be a) smooth and b) moderately quick - maybe a 9 or 10 on the stimp - but that's too much to ask I guess. These greens were probably rolling a 5 or 6. Felt like we were in the 1920's era.

Lastly, we were on the last par 5 on the front, and here comes this tattooed fellow on a large mower, billowing toward us mowing the rough on the course side of the cart path - he was gaining speed and no signs of slowing. We were clearly playing our shots and 99.99999% of mower operators on 100% of courses in the world would stop and turn off their engine, or at least turn it to low while stopped, because that's called "etiquette" but this fellow was mowing and he wasn't planning to stop. He made eye contact, and just kept going, blowing up all the dirt, grass and other particles WITH his open shute pointed toward the golf course (that we were playing). If he'd have hit a rock and that thing shot toward us and hit my boy I swear... Grrrrr!!! I guess he had an appt at the local ink shop that he wasn't going to miss. That was just icing on the cake to an experience which clearly shows the priority of this golf course, which has to be clearly a result of poor management.

So, I'll not be coming back... A shame too because the course has potential.

I like to play this course when I am in the Hilton Head area. The pace of play is normally about 4 hours. This course is a great example of South Carolina golf! With its natural wetlands and wildlife makes you forget that you are on a golf course. The course seemed to play longer than the scorecard stated. Overall it is a great course and the price point can not be beat for the quality of the course. Will play here again.

Absolutely best value in Hilton Head area and I belong to another club here.

Fun course. Enjoyed the layout. Women friendly

Play it if you can. Staff was a little light but course was not busy when we t'ed off

They need to have range balls on the range not the cart parking area

Make sure you take a cart. Walking would be ten plus miles

In my opinion this is the best course for the money in the Hilton head/Savannah area, not to challenging which is good for me but very easy on the eyes

Very enjoyable round, greens could be a little faster

I've never seen the greens look as good as they did on yesterday. Whatever y'all are doing, keep it up. Great price, great layout, great value for your money...

To the course defense we played a day after a heavy rain and the course was awfully wet and was cart path only. Pace of play was excellent because there was no one out there playing. The greens in most part were in good except a couple were in rough shape. The fairways are very thin and not in very good shape.

This course was awesome. Greens were in fantastic condition. Great course and a lot of fun to play.

HHL is a cart course. There are some long distances between green to the next tee. I have played this course several times, but this is my first review. It is a good course for the greens fee rate. The staff is first-rate. Will meet you as you pull in and will accompany you to your car when you leave. Even though it is set up in a subdivision, the homes do not come into play unless you are a hack.

Greens were in great shape and fairways are coming along (needed to thicken up).

My wife and I enjoyed playing this course. They are currently going through some construction - new club house. There is a dirt parking lot - not an issue since it was dry. The two bathrooms on the course were porta-potties - full bathroom at clubhouse. The staff were friendly upon arrival and at check-in. They do have some warm up areas/range - nice. Saw alligators at a safe distance. No snakes were seen - that's a good thing, but told there are some out there - be cautious if ball goes out-of-bounds. Staff helped at the end of the round. No beverage cart during our round, which I did not expect on a mid-week morning. I did see one parked, so it's probably available on busy days/weekends.

Need some green work for sure

Couldn't get a better 18 with a cart for the price.

nice drive around a golf course on a beautiful day.

My wife had an emergency so we had to leave early. Pro was somewhat gracious.

Welcomer was very nice and helpful1

5 1/2 hours!!! One of my favorite courses. Front nine took 2:45. I called in and they said the ranger was checking for a problem. We all found out when we finished there was a terribly slow foursome that ruined the day for everyone, but they were not addressed. I like this course. Since they rely on tourist for some of their traffic, they need to be responsive to situations like this word of mouth means everything down here. Better to warn, then remove slow golfers, than lose future returnees.
