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.

Forgiving layout, excellent greens
This course has a very nice layout and is a joy to play. The fairways are quite large and the rough is reasonable (not cut too high). For public courses off island, the greens are in the best condition of the courses I have played so far. The greens are not fast, but roll very evenly and consistently. No trace of the Poa annua weed problem reported in reviews last year.
The sand traps are inconsistent (some have sufficient sand and/or adequate drainage while others lack both and remain hard/wet after heavy rains).
The staff is very friendly and accommodating. This course is one of my favorite places to play.
Green much Better
The greens are in very good shape. Nice and lush.
The course is in need of a ranger We were the 4th group to go out and waited on every tee box for 5 minutes. Not good to play that slow early in the day.
Good Experience
The course layout was challenging but playable. Traps are designed to create challenging situations and it created opportunities for me to grow my abilities. Love the forested back nine away from the homes. It makes you feel some solitude in the bustling Hilton Head Resort Area.
Slow Greens
Staff was really nice.
Talked with the man in in the pro shop said a year ago., it was terrible. "They got a new Superintendent turning it around."
Hilton Head Lakes is a very nice layout, friendly staff and facilities.
They have to get the crabgrass under control and although the conditions of the greens were very nice, they were the slowest greens I have ever played, had to be running 7 max stemp, which made for a frustrating day..
Nice track for the locals. But doubtful I drive 1.5 hrs. To play it again.
Nice course
First time playing here. Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. Course was in good condition for this time of year. It was a hot afternoon round and pace of play was great! We'll look forward to returning in the future.
No Drinking water in sight
The course itself is nice, greens rolling well. Fairways are full. Bunkers have sand. My only concern is with a heat index of 105 there is zero water on the course to drink, not at any hole, rest stations, or even the club house unless you consider a water fountain to be substantial.
Also as I arrive at 7:00 for my tee time of 7:30, the pro shop employee keeps allowing other people to cut in front of me to have them check in because “there tee time is before mine”, even though they came into the pro shop after I did. leaving me about 10 minutes to hit the range.
Great Day on the Course
Overall great experience. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly!
