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.

Crescent Point Golf
It was a fun Course to play, T boxes were not well kept. Need to offer better food at the turn. The hotdogs we ate made us sick to our stomachs. We were unable to get to the cafe in the morning due to some meeting. should have a separate room for that.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the T boxes and the food options. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our service.
HHI vaca
Played Crescent years before, enjoyed it. Few of the greens had some GUR, nothing to worry about. 18th hole has temp green… all in all, great experience
, good price, loved the course.

Nice Layout
Nice layout and staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the greens were very slow and several had damage and were under repair. I would play it again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the condition of the greens during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
Ground under Repair
Went off early on a Monday morning. Course is in much better shape than the last time I played and clearly they are putting money and work into the course. Three to four of the greens were unplayable because the maintenance staff was resodding certain areas of the green. Would have been nice to know this in advance and personally $64 for a course in that condition simply isn’t fair. Headed in the right direction but I would wait until next year to give it a try again.
Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the maintenance work on the greens. We are glad to hear that you noticed improvements in the overall condition of the course and we will make sure to communicate any future maintenance work in advance.
Great staff deserves another shot in the future
Although i do not recommend it at this time, i will come back.
Despite the horrible course condition, the staff deserves another shot. I will come back in a few months and see if the conditions improve. With all the work they are doing, I believe so!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for the current condition of our golf course, but we appreciate your recognition of our hardworking staff. We will work towards improving the course conditions and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Very poor shape
Greens and cart paths are ridiculous. Bridges have boards missing. Very dangerous. Nothing like when I went several years ago. Would not go again.
We apologize for any inconvenience or safety concerns you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve our golf course. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Disappointed
The front nine was fairly well maintained, but the back nine was terrible; muddy, greens were chewed up, cart path had bare areas and broken concrete resulting in a very rough ride.
We apologize for your disappointing experience on the back nine of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve the maintenance and conditions of the course. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Getting better
I’ve played this course dozens of times since it opened. Over the past few years it’s truly been neglected! But you can see it’s got new owners. They are already making a difference. I played here last fall and it’s already in a LOT better condition! The greens had grass and they are repairing the cart paths. Keep up the work- it’s making a huge difference for a gorgeous layout!!!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience at our golf course. We apologize for any previous neglect, but we are glad to hear that our efforts as new owners have made a noticeable difference in the course's condition. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide you with a great golfing experience.
Jeff
Was disappointed in the cost of stuff in bar area. You expect to pay more, but tacking a service charge on top of the price was a first for me.
$40 bucks for 6 beers is a little steep.
Hi,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and apologize for any disappointment you experienced with the pricing in our bar area. We will take your feedback into consideration as we strive to improve our services. Thank you again for your feedback.
Rough shape
Not well manicured. One green not playable and a couple in bad shape. Challenging course, pretty but in rough condition.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We strive to maintain a well-manicured course and will work diligently to address the areas that are in need of improvement. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Course
Front nine excellent excellent shape, but back nine was in terrible shape from tee to some really terrible greens. Back nine seemed totally neglected. Most all widened bridges had a terrible drop off for the golf cart and really hurt my neck every time.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any negative experience you had on the back nine. We strive to maintain the highest standards for our course and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Swamp Fest
Pro shop staff and starter were friendly. However, we were not made aware of how wet the fairways were. The back nine was nearly unplayable and there was no cup on the temporary 18th green. There were only 2 nice fairways, the rest were not in good shape. Forward tee boxes were not great. Overall, we were disappointed and won’t return nor recommend this course to friends.
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment with the wet fairways and condition of the course. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

very disappointed
Played this course many times always loved it the layout and conditions. Played in September and was so upset at the course conditions its a shame how they let this course get so bad. Will not play again unless they do some major work some greens were not puttable and we picked up our ball and moved on.

Course in transition
Overall was an enjoyable round of golf. I talked to one employee and understand that’s its current management recently took control of its upkeep and is working to make the improvements necessary, which includes tee boxes and some greens. It still was a good value and I enjoyed my round. I’ll probably play it again on my next visit. Good value for the cost.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed your round of golf. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing improvements we are making to the tee boxes and greens, but we hope you will consider playing again on your next visit.
Good layout but terrible condition. They need to put a lot of work into this course.
