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.

Save Your Money

We hadn't played in awhile so I wanted to kind of warm up on a less expensive course. Well, you get what you pay for on a golf course in Hilton Head. The tee boxes were mostly torn up, and the fairways were like hitting off dirt. I will say the greens weren't bad and rolled fairly true. My wife mentioned that she had never played a course in worse shape. I have played worse but that was a long, ong time ago.

New course

Crescent Pointe really needs some TLC. It is a challenging layout but in such poor condition that it takes away from the pleasure of playing it.

First Time Playing

Course was in very good condition considering it was cart path only. Greens were absolutely fantastic which was surprising for early February. Front nine pace of play was very fast but back nine we waited on almost every hole. If you are looking for a challenging and reasonably priced course, book a tee time here.

Tough course

Course is not in good condition. But it’s obvious that it’s challenging and could be really nice with some TLC. It was cart path only so that only made it even more difficult.

1st round of the New Year 2024

No grand illusions about my play considering it was my first round of the year , 2024 nor the course conditions considering the time of year . The tee boxes were disorganized and in fair condition. However, the greens rolled true. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. Overall, Crescent Point provided good value for money for this particular area.

What a difference a day makes

The last time I played this course, about 2 years ago, it was sadly in need of some care. This time most holes were in good shape. Keep it up!

A Nice Round

Crescent used to be one one cf my favorites in the area; a must play when I visited. @5 years ago conditions deteriorated. I went back this trip and was pleasantly surprised. Greens were good and fairways decent for the most part. The layout and scenery still top notch. Tee boxes need work. Given Hot Deal price and speed of play I'd gladly come back. The staff was very nice.

Could be the best course in the Lowcountry

Played for the first time in 2 years. The lady in the pro-shop was very helpful and nice. Cart guy had my bag on cart when I came out of pro shop.

You can see that new management have put money into the course.

Still needs love but I was pleasantly surprised. Tee boxes were poor. Fairways okay but you have to expect that in January. To be fair we’ve had a cold wet winter. Greens were good. Ball rolled really well. Bunkers were in very good shape.

Overall we were very satisfied. I believe it’s the best layout of any of the public course in Bluffton/Hilton Head area.

I hope the new owners keep on pushing forward with improvements. If they do you’ll have lots of locals wanting to play. Well done to all
