Crescent Pointe Golf Club in Bluffton is Arnold Palmer's only public course in the area. It is conveniently located just a few minutes west of the bridge leaving Hilton Head Island. Opened in 2000, the course has quickly gained a reputation as being one of the Lowcountry's best. Sprawling across a lush landscape blanketed with century-old oaks and towering pines, the layout is as scenic as it is challenging. While the generous fairways may be player friendly, the difficult approaches to the elevated, well bunkered greens are anything but. The large, pristine white sand bunkers were designed in true Palmer-style, closely following the natural undulations of the land. The gently rolling terrain is unique for the area. Crescent Pointe Golf Club's elevation changes aren't dramatic but they do provide some subtle, but tricky undulations in the greens that make it hard to find a flat lie.

Other than the greens it was terrible

Tees and Fairways were pretty much dirt/sand. I have played this course many times over the years and it has gone way downhill. It used to be one of the nicer courses in the Hilton Head area. Probably won’t be back.

Concerned

I have played this course from the opening year and have enjoyed the layout, but it has consistently been in a downward spiral the last few years. I hope it can be restored back to its original condition.

Crescent Pointe

I hit most fairways and ended up on dirt. Many tee boxes were trash. The cart paths were in a terrible condition, maybe the worst I’ve ever seen. You may need a chiropractor appointment after driving the cart path. I paid $55 online. I would not recommend. I will try next year and see if they have made any improvements.

One of my favorite layouts

Great layout and friendly staff. Wish it could get back to the shape it was in 6 or so years ago. Greens rolled ok. Fairways were sparse and t boxes need lots of work. I hope it continues to improve.

Fun course

The layout is fun and challenging. The course does have a few quirky holes, but I think that’s what makes it fun to play .

Tough shape, good price!

They had a rough winter and the place was in tough shape. Good layout if they would put a dollar or two into the maintenance! Just one man’s opinion

Rain the night before left the course soggy.

Heavy rain night before meant that the course was pretty wet the following morning. That having been said the conditions generally were no better than average. Greens were not bad but tees and fairways were in tough shape in places. There were only a few people playing and as a consequence to pace play was quite quick.

This course is worth playing.

Heard this course was in poor condition. Wrong. Course is definitively worth playing. Received emails about a monthly family pass and called to inquire. Never received a callback. Really underwhelming service. Told there were no range balls yet golfers came out after us with range balls. It’s really ignorant to treat guests like second class citizens.

Needs Work

While this course is by far one of the cheaper tracks in the area I'm not sure the "value" for money is there just yet.
In playing the course we could see that there's potential there to have a really nice place. The clubhouse and pro-shop was inviting and the staff that met us upon arrival were friendly and helpful.

Fairways are patchy and sparse even for this time of the year (early March). The greens were slow but consistent and rolled true enough to be able to read a break. The back 9 greens are in rough shape overall though. Tee blocks are quite patchy and it seems like on many holes the scorecard yardages don't match what you're playing as some blocks appear to be temporary in nature to try and improve the regular tee decks.

If I had friends coming to the area to play i couldn't recommend this course to them despite it's potential and relatively low pricing. With some major investment I think the place could be quite good.
