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.

Quite Wet

Too bad that the course had gotten so much rain the previous evening. Lots of free-water. Greens were a bit shaggy. Would have been much better if the the maintenance crew was able to provide attention

Greens are back

I played this course a year ago and the greens were unplayable. The poana had taken over them there was no grass. Fortunately this year the greens are back to normal and in good shape.

Fantastic course

Absolutely gorgeous! Greens were well taken care of and you could see the difference between the fairway and the greens. They followed properly at about a medium speed as well. Wild life was stunning and the scenes are amazing

Getting Better

The course is in good shape compared to last year. If they keep up the TLC this season, next year will be better. First time seeing a drink cart as well which is a clear sign of customer focus.

The next area needing work is the sand traps. They were groomed but a dusting of sand over hard pack. I was in several traps and my club bounced out and did not let me get under the ball. Better to play as a normal chip than a sand shot.

Worth a play and I’ll be back later in summer to see if they continued to nurture the course.

Love this course!

Sure, this course is off the island and almost back to I-95, but great place to play (especially as a Canadian paying $0.38 on the dollar!). Yes, it’s a little rough in places but we’re no tour pros! Staff is very friendly. Some greens are challenging with Poa… and tee blocks similar,,, but we paid considerably less for similar conditions at some of the HHI courses. Lots of staff on course working hard to improve conditions. Always a must play when visiting!

Hidden Gem

Friendly course. Not the typical HH narrow fairways. Tee boxes were worn. But not terrible. Enjoyed the round. Good pace of play.

Just right for a quick 9

Nice layout, nice people. Add in great weather and it made for a pretty good afternoon. Greens weren’t quite at their best having some type of top dressing recently but not unmanageable. This course is located in a newer development with a Florida vibe. All in all a good day!
