About this course
Crescent Pointe, cradled within the tidal embrace of Bluffton, South Carolina, bears the distinctive mark of Arnold Palmer’s design philosophy: bold contours etched across a Lowcountry landscape. This 1990s layout plays with the natural undulation of the coastal terrain, rewarding strategic shot-making rather than brute power. Expect generous landing areas from the tee that tighten considerably approaching the green complexes, many of which are subtly elevated and guarded by Palmer's signature bunkering. It is a course that favors those who can manage the coastal breezes and dial in their distances on approach. While not a stage for major championships, Crescent Pointe holds a cherished position among local players. The course's conditions are kept to high standards. Golfers here have a deep appreciation for the game and enjoy spirited, yet friendly competition. The 18th hole, a reachable par-5, offers a fittingly dramatic conclusion to a round, with water hazard lurking. A well-executed approach provides a chance for eagle, etching a positive memory of the day regardless of the scorecard.

Getting there
The journey to Crescent Pointe Golf Club begins at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, a comfortable forty-minute drive north across the South Carolina Lowcountry. The route traces Highway 278 through Bluffton's expanding outskirts, where Spanish moss-draped live oaks still frame the roadside and tidal marshes shimmer in the distance. As you approach the May River corridor, the landscape softens into the serene residential enclave that shelters this Greg Norman design, where arrival feels less like reaching a destination and more like slipping quietly into the rhythm of the Carolina coast.
