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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Greater Discount should be applied

This was a Hot Deal, but not hot enough for the conditions.
The tee boxes were nonexistent with little spots of grass, seeds and weeds.

There were 4-6 greens under repair.

Thee was standing water on two holes in the fairways, assuming a sprinkler system malfunction?

The course layout was very entertaining and made the round acceptable, while over priced.

OK.. The course needs work. The fairways are thin and the tees are currently being seeded. Figure on rolling the ball. Every sand bunker was raked and in good condition. Met previous players that stated in April the course was "horrible but now much improved". A challenging layout. Bring your shag bag. Well worth the price after playing three other HH courses this week.
