Crescent Pointe Golf Club

Very challenging design in great shape and condition

Used to play Crescent and sister, Eagle Pointe, every year. Crescent remains an excellent layout with some interesting and challenging holes - as good as most courses down here. But about 8-10 years ago both courses started to show significant neglect [ownership change?] so I stopped coming. Learned that both are under new ownership as of last summer/spring, so decided to try again. Things are looking up!

Now it will take a while to recover the greens, tee boxes, and some other soggy areas that might need a drainage update, but you can tell the new owner[s] are paying attention. It's the little things: clean water in buckets on the driving range, a starter on the first tee to keep things organized, soap and paper towels in the dispensers in the men's locker room. Now this might seem like some piddly stuff, i.e., what about the course? But again, the course will take time to get back in shape -- we're not in growing season now in January anyway. But that those small items are being kept up tells me somebody is keeping an eye on the place. And I don't want to scare anyone off, the course is playable as is, but there's some rough spots throughout. You can see where the work to be done is marked off [some closed tee boxes], GUR in various spots, some CPO on couple par 4's that need to drain better.

Lastly, the course work has begun; 18 green complex completely redone and looked great. So considering the price -- I paid $40 on golfnow for an 11:00 am tee time -- this course is definitely back in my rotation during my 10 week winter in HHI. I play the three Sea Pines courses [yup, Harbour Town] and Hilton Head National. Expect it to get better over the next year or two. Will try Eagle Pointe later in the week and report on that next.

Tee boxes were all pretty rough conditions. Mostly no grass and hard mud. Possibly going thru mid season repair. Greens were just ok. Fairways were definitely off season renovations.
However, the green fees were adequate due to conditions.

I have played the course many times and was surprised to find it in the good condition that it was in after a couple days of rain. Some greens could benefit form over seeding. Number 16, which I believe was redone a couple years ago, is again in need of some TLC. But overall, the course proved to bee an excellent value.

Great course love the layout! They are putting a ton of work into the course, it definitely shows. Looking forward to playing again, new bunker on #9 looks great along with the new grass on #1 tee.

We shouldn't be in the edges, but even parts of Fairways are bare. There are some tee boxes they have closed for renovation, but it doesn't dramatically alter play.
Great layout with good greens. Great value. I will definitely be back.

Great course, not perfect but really nice. Some poor parts of the cart path, couple iffy tee boxes, but very minor in my opinion. Doesn’t detract from the beauty of it. Fantastic value, well worth it

Played as a single in the early morning. Ended up being paired with 3 amazing people; Doug, Jon & Paul. Could not have been luckier. They were nervous what I’d think of the course since new owners took it over last season. You can tell the work they’ve put it! Some of the greens were a tad hard from new sodding this year & 2 of the fairways had some light spots, but it was a heck of a course for the price and the semi-private-ness. Would recommend.

It is evident that the new owners are putting some money back into the golf course for improvements, however, at the moment, the course is in pretty rough shape. Still a fun track to get out and play. Greens are bumpy and splotchy with burned out and scalped areas. Course can play extremely tough from the back tees

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

Gorgeous course that's a bit rough around the edges. Some tee boxes lack grass, but fairways are playable, and greens reasonably consistent. Long cart rides between holes are like a low country national forest tour.

Overall good course. First time playing, I was impressed with the layout. Thought it was fun and challenging. We went off season so it was a little wet and greens we’re rolling like crazy. The front desk people were pretty depressed looking. Otherwise decent course.
