Crescent Pointe Golf Club
About
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.

High Value Course for the HHI area
I was a single and played in 3 hours. Coulda been quicker by playing through one group but had a good round going and didn't want to mess it up. There was 1 temporary green and a couple other greens with minor issues. I would/will play it again for $59.

Greens were rough
The layout was really cool and was great for dad and I who are new to golf to feel like we weren’t holding up the game. The conditions need some work and the greens need a lot of TLC. Talking with some of the staff sounds like new owners are working improving the course conditions which is great to hear because that layout is too good.

Cresent Pointe
Greens were very beat up. Some were unplayable. Tees were bad too. Little grass and more dirt than anything. Rate was too high for the condition of the course.
Staff was friendly but nothing to eat or drink since the grille was closed.

Signature Layout But Not Conditions
First time playing the course was really excited to go out and play with it being a Palmer Signature Course. Disappointed in the condition of the greens, recently just aerated and that's fine we knew when booking, compared to the course I played yesterday that had aerated 2 weeks ago the condition was abysmal. There was like 2 greens that were atrocious and completely bare, others had green top dress on it to hide the dead spots.
Overall I loved the layout, alot of position play needed off some holes that dogleg and with the short par 4s. If it weren't for the unique layout the rating would be lower, the condition of the greens bring down the overall rating.

GREAT GOLF
This course has a great layout. Tight fairways and the course is in pretty good shape. There might have been 2 greens that were in bad shape.

Hope they will improve
Unfortunately, we arrived 3 weeks after the course was bought out. They were undergoing some major green repairs which left sand covering most of the greens and making them unplayable. It made it very difficult to enjoy our round. The staff was very friendly overall and I don't discredit them in this review. However, it would have been nice to know beforehand that the greens were going to be in this condition. A discount would have been appropriate before beginning our round. However, the manager gave us two rounds to use in the next 6 months. Hopefully we can make it down again and hopefully the course has some improvements by then.

Not worth $72 to play this course
The pace of play was wonderful as I saw no other golfers on the course. The fairways were OK and the rough was very much so, with a lot of weeds where grass should be. I found the putting greens and pin placement to be quite difficult., and the greens were cut very close to the ground. The course lay out was nice but I found it to be quite difficult for a person of my abilities. I will not play here again.

This golf course is well designed and has a lot of interesting holes. It's a challenging course with a lot of bunkers and water hazards. There are quite a few elevated greens as well. The condition of the course has declined over the past few years, as I have played this course numerous times on trips to Hilton Head. The cost of a round here is fair based on the current condition as many of the courses in this area are more expensive. It was still a fun place to play and I will play here again in the future, but I'd like to see the management company running this facility put some investment into the course as it relates to the greens and tee boxes.

Course needs work
The greens were in bad shape. The fairways were okay, but the tee boxes were terrible.
With the right management this course has great potential.
Pace of play was good and the staff is nice.

Greens for most part were fine. Fairways a little bare. Pace of play a little slow.

Disappointed
We have played at Crescent many times and have never seen the course i m such terrible shape. It was overgrown and with weeds everywhere. The tee boxes were either bare i uncut. It was clear there hasn’t been any maintenance in a long time. It was very sad to see.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Crescent Point GC in the Spring
I have played this course several times in the past. This time the greens were the worst I have ever seen them. It may be that the Bermuda Grass is not yet thriving due to slower heating up this spring. The layout is quite nice with multiple beautiful marsh views. Due to the residential location, quite a bit of time has to be spent navigating between green and next tee. I have played in the past and enjoyed much better course conditions.
