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.

Coming Back
I had heard that the course had gone through some hard times, and had become run down. It was sold and the new owners are improving it. I actually liked the course when I played it. There were a few bad spots and the cart paths have to be fixed, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in good shape in general. The cost was good compared to other courses nearby. People were pleasant and pace was good considering the number of hazards on the course. I enjoyed it.
Not bad for winter conditions
This course is under renovation. It’s not in bad condition considering. All but a couple of greens were in good condition.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing renovation and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Don't waste your $$ or time
We got a good "Hot Deal" on Golf Pass but quickly found out why. This course probably shouldn't be open for play at this time, the tee boxes are dirt as were most of the fairways, very little grass! I didn't read reviews of the course before we played and I regret not looking into it. You can tell the bones of the course are solid but it needs LOTS of TLC
We apologize for the condition of the golf course during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address the issues mentioned to improve the overall experience for our customers. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Beautiful layout but poor conditions
The course is beautifully designed and has a great layout. Unfortunately we found several of the fairways were in pretty tough shape. Talk to a couple of members who said the new owners are putting money into the place and they're expecting to see improvements next year.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the condition of the fairways and are grateful for your patience. We are working on making improvements and hope to provide a better experience next year.
Good layout poor condition and worse management
Knew there had just been a change of ownership and knew conditions would be bad but still liked the layout from past round 4 yrs ago. Had 11:48 time. No starter, or staff of any kind sending players out. At 11:50 I ask the people in front of us their tee times. They said 11:35 and 11:44. So two tee times 4 minutes apart. Plus the group were in no hurry to head out to the first tee until I stated they should go, then they went out as a fivesomes (all men) with 4 of the wives following. Two of the wives had not golfed this year ( we are in Nov.). Would not let anyone played through as the 2 groups wanted to stay together. There was no Marshall. After a 3 hour front nine we quit and I spoke to a manager who apologized and indicated they just took over the course but that was no excuse for no starter or Marshall. He offered to refund our money but couldn’t as it was a prepaid hot deal. All in all one of the worse golf experiences I have encountered in the 50 years I have golfed.
We apologize for your negative experience at our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and assure you that we take your comments seriously. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention.
Poor management
Course was under repair in many locations. Very poor management. No starters or Marshall’s and took us over 4 hours to play nine holes. Large groups playing together (10) backing everyone up also individual with coach playing in front of us and would stay on green practicing chipping and putting while we waited. Also would hit multiple balls off tee. Left after 9 holes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the negative experience you had during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
Terrific Course
My husband and I enjoy playing the Crescent Pointe Arnold Palmer golf course. The course is interesting and challenging, as well as lovely scenery. New owners are making significant improvements. The greens are in great shape. I would recommend playing this course.

Crescent Pointe 11-09-23
Played as a single at 1pm. The new owners know what they are doing. The new pro was actually out riding the course, taking notes, and talking to guests. Ran into some locals/residents who were super cool and friendly. Cart paths repaired and smooth. Over seeded greens a little slow but nothing major. Mowing is consistent with clean lines.. Major bunker work is underway and will continue through the winter. CP will be outstanding after one more growing season. Great value at $50. Jocelyn and Sadie in the shop were super nice. Steve outside is a great guy. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend.

Good front 9, back 9 needs work.
Needs drinking water on course, some ball washers were dry. Some of tee off grounds were completely dirt.otherwise everything else’s was good.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of drinking water, dry ball washers, and dirt on some tee off grounds. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our facilities in the future.
Not what I expected
The tee time rate I was quoted and what I was supposed to pay at the course was not honoured. Had to pay $10 more. Totally unexplainable - some surcharge and tax I had to pay twice
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you experienced regarding the tee time rate and additional charges at our golf course. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your feedback.
Arnold Palmer would not be happy
Cresent Point is an Arnold Palmer designed course, and Arnie would not be happy with Cresent Point. The cart paths are especially in need of repair.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of our cart paths and appreciate your feedback.
Conditioning / Pace of Play
4 minutes between tee times is a horrible idea. (Booked 11:16 and 11:24 assuming they were back to back - but there was an 11:20 between us.) Pace was slow. Many groups left the course. Conditioning of tees was horrible. More sand than grass on many of them. Greens were rough - but some have been repaired (sod) so will likely grow in. They appear to be working on the course - so will likely get better - but needs some time.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the spacing of tee times and the condition of the tees and greens. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our course.
Good value for the money. Definitely, not resort price. Tee boxes, for the most part, devoid of grass. Paved cart paths remain in shambles. All that being said, we would play it again. It is a very difficult, challenging course.
We apologize for the condition of the tee boxes and paved cart paths, and appreciate your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the course challenging and that you would consider playing again. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Getting Better
Really good course layout. Condition not the best but it's obvious they are working to improve. Greens are good and the staff is very friendly. Good value for the money. I will play again next year at this time and I'm betting the course will be in great shape
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, rpfgolf. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
Great course
Loved this course. Great value. Talk of poor conditioning was over rated in my opinion. Be ready to play a little winter rules. And a couple of trees are barren but overall the layout is so good that it was well worth it
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, peddenden. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Crescent Pointe Golf Club!
Avoid
Played there last week thinking it would be a half decent course since it is an AP. Well the tee boxes have no grass green are super slow patches cut into them. The front of the greens have track marks from the machines. Totally disappointed. I would recommend Rose Hill over this course for the value.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review about your experience at our golf course. We apologize for any shortcomings you encountered and we value your feedback. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to improve.

Nice course
I enjoyed this course very much. Really has a nice layout and overall shape was good. Some tees boxs have been in bad shape for a awhile but Greens make up for it. People were Friendly's and would definitely return.
