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.

Good pace of play greens In better shape than last time played here 3 years ago but no where near 20 years ago.. Arnie must have been in bad mood when he designed this course some nasty holes. Picturesque area need more attention to course condition.
Better than expected
The greens were in good condition. The fairways and tee boxes were a little sparse on grass in places. Overall it was a fun day. Not hardly as good as some Hilton Head courses but the cost was about right. I expect the fairways and tees will be good in a few weeks which will make it an even better bargain.
Nice course
Great layout and in great shape. Pace of play very slow, I think it was an accident in the morning that backed everything up so nit the course fault. Still enjoyed the round.
Like seeing an old friend
I used to play this course a lot, but I rarely play anymore and haven't played here in years. I had friends in town and gagged at the local round prices, so I shopped around and this was the best rate in and around Bluffton. I was a little apprehensive since the last time I played here the cart paths were horrible, but that's all been taken care of. The range (the only off-course amenity we used) was in good shape and the course was almost great. The greens were excellent and the fairways were good to very good (not that I was always in them!). I played Dolphin Head last month twice and the fairways were thin (greens were perfect though), so I think it's just a matter of transitioning from winter to spring for the fairways. Lastly, the staff is superior! The cart guys will bend over backwards for anything you need, our guy lived in HH Plantation but I don't remember his name. Thumbs Up all around.
Long day on the links
Course is not Long, but there are a little of tough lies. Water and beach are prevalent on every hole. Toke longer to get around than anticipated.
Greens were in great shape. T boxes and fairways need a little work. Not bad for the price.
Not terrible
Greens decent to good condition. Frpairway and rough poor condition.
Beautiful Layout but Poorly Maintained
True to Arnold Palmer designs worldwide. Unfortunately, playing conditions were poor - tee boxes, sand traps, fairways & greens were inconsistent - lots of bare spots in fairways, spotty repair areas on back 9 greens and unkept tee boxes. Cart paths throughout are in need of repair - several breaks in the concrete are downright dangerous.
Excellent layout
This course is a beautiful track. Very scenic. Played the middle tees which made for a good time. As the course greens up this spring it will be a must play
If you are going there for the first time, take the time to check out your shots as there are some hidden hazards. Greens pretty good, fairways in general OK. Couple of holes that are a bit of a puzzle especially number 9.
Nice layout. Poor conditions
Good layout but course conditions were overall poor. Tee boxes had no or limited grass...dirt or sand. Fairways on front 9 were worst I've played in HH area. Greens, except 2, were pretty good. Needs soon TLC, over seed and fertilizer on fairways. I'd love to see this course if time and money spent to get in above average condition. Too bad it's neglected.
Needs some work
Wonderful layout, but needs attention. Most tee boxes are terrible. Greens are in decent shape. Fairways are above average. The staff is very friendly. Because of the overall conditions and low price to play, it appeared a lot of beginners were playing, which accounted for slow play.
Review
Course was beautiful but the tee boxes could use work. Overall would recommend playing here.
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.
