Located in the heart of Bluffton, South Carolina, Crescent Pointe Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course that 23 years after its debut still stands out as a true Lowcountry gem. Situated just off U.S. 278, a mere three miles away from the Hilton Head Island bridge, the course has become a sought-after destination for both locals and savvy travelers alike. Crescent Pointe holds the unique distinction of being the only public-access course in the area designed by Arnold Palmer. The course showcases Palmer’s renowned strategic design philosophy, featuring generous fairways, expansive elevated greens, numerous sandy waste areas, and pristine white-sand bunkers. Spanning 540 acres of scenic landscape, the course is celebrated not only for its stunning views of water and marshes but also for its rolling topography and dramatic elevation changes, a feature often absent in Lowcountry layouts. As players navigate through this picturesque course, they’ll find themselves weaving between wetlands and lakes, surrounded by majestic pines, magnolias, and ancient oaks. Crescent Pointe Golf Club’s holes offer a diverse array of challenges, each unique in its presentation and demand on players’ skills. Four par 3s and three par 5s all feature forced carry shots over water. The greens offer subtle undulations, slopes, and breaks. Crescent Pointe also provides top-notch practice facilities, including a driving range, practice area, and a putting green.
