The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes
Rating Snapshot
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.

GREENS PERFECT! Course in fantastic shape!
The last time we played HH Lakes was March 4, 2023, and the greens were covered with Poa annua and were basically un-puttable. But the greens are now PERFECT! Also, the tee boxes were great, with normal grass on them, and the fairways were clean and well-mowed. Good raked sand in the bunkers. This course has a beautiful layout, with a nice Adirondack feel to it, with all the beautiful pine trees, water, and beauty. The staff was very friendly and professional. We couldn't have been happier with the condition of the course and staff.
I highly recommend this course to play!

Worth Playing Multiple Times
We normally don’t drive this far off the Island, especially when it’s raining but we’re glad we did.
Connie was super nice and Steve was very friendly allowing us to wait out the rain delaying out tee-off time. The course has some of best and consistent greens we’ve played and while it has generous fairways plays a bit trickier within 125-150 yards out.
We didn’t have time for 18 or utilizing all the facilities, however the back 9 are very picturesque and no homes in sight. This will become an annual course on our playlist.

Great customer service!
Connie and Steve in the pro shop were so nice and accommodating with bad weather and made the experience great!
Hello, kf7YKtEhv7WTTkO0NtLZ. Thank you for visiting us at The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Would not play again
Pros: Pace of play was very good. Greens were good.
Cons: Nobody at bag drop. Guessed that we should get our own cart and load it. Proshop of little help - didn’t pay much attention to us. Marshal pointed us to 1st hole but nothing else. Cart paths are in very bad shape at a lot of places so be awake while driving or you might get shaken up pretty badly. At end of round - someone finally paid attention to us while we were putting on 18 - they cleaned our clubs to get their tip.
Overall course has wide fairways (reasonable conditions), easy to navigate, not overly challenging.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the lack of service at the bag drop and the inattentiveness of the proshop staff. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our customer service.
Visible Improvement
First time playing in a while. The staff should be commended for recovering the greens. They were in very good shape with no scarring from previous weed infestation. The course had treated greens to prevent weeds next year.
I will be back to see if course continues to invest in course upkeep. The back 9 is still one of my favorite.

Long course
One of the longer courses I've played. Sooo long between greens and the next tee box. Could never walk it.

Long Long Course
I could never walk this course as there are many many yards between greens and the next Tee box. The greens had to be running about 12 or more. Really FAST. WIDE fairways and a fun course.

Not worth the money
Fairways are full of weeds, bunkers are bad. Pace of play was slow, no ranger. Greens were fine. No snack bar or restaurant open. Bad value for this location.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your visit, and we appreciate your feedback. We will address the issues mentioned in order to improve our golf course for future customers. Thank you again for your review.
Wonderful layout, and very forgiving
My wife and I played here this afternoon, and it was a wonderful experience!! The staff were very friendly, and the course was in fantastic condition. I just booked another round for Wednesday afternoon.

The Course is Coming Back
The course was once my favorite in the area, but the blatant neglect rendered the greens unputtable. It appeared that they just didn't care, and the poana just had run of place. My recent play was a last-minute last resort option. I was very pleasantly surprised at the condition of the greens and the fairways, the best I'd seen in a long time. I actually recommend the course to the Commissioner of my golf group. I only hope they never let the course sink back to the condition it was in only a few months ago.
We apologize for any negative experiences you may have had in the past when playing at our course. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our recent improvements to the greens and fairways have exceeded your expectations. Thank you for recommending our course to others and we will continue to strive for the best conditions possible.
