The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes
Rating Snapshot
About
The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes is a Tom Fazio design that is challenging, but with five sets of tees it is versatile enough for players of all skill levels. Fazio deftly utilized the native wetlands and numerous lakes that are interspersed across the landscape, incorporating them along the expansive fairways and angled greens. The tricky greens have been carefully molded and contoured to offer a variety of pin placements. In addition to the water hazards, there are also numerous strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. The golf course will test your shot-making skills as well as your creativity. To complement the golf course, Hilton Head Lakes offers an equally impressive 36-acre, double-ended practice facility with target greens, bunkers, multiple practice greens, and even a par-3 short course.

Not worth the money
This course has gone downhill in the past two years. The greens were either bare or so riddled with Poanna that we picked up on several of them. Rocks were prevalent in the bunkers. If you want any beverages, you have to wait until after the fifth hole to get to a vending machine. Even then, 4 choices are all you have. Water coolers on 4 holes but nothing available in the pro shop at all. The staff was nice and apologetic for the lack of amenities and condition of the course. Even after a recent price reduction, they are still asking too much.
Don’t play here
Very nice layout, tees and fairways were great, greens are horrible, ful of Poa, bumpy and slow. Nice guy in pro shop, he told me at the turn that they had been bought out by an individual who didn’t want to put anymore money into the course. They have no snack bar, they have turned that into an Italian restaurant, not kidding you

Poa Annua out of control
The poa annua on the greens is crazy. There is no grass. When the heat kills the poa annua I'm not sure there will be any grass. I've been playing for 60 years and these were the worst greens I've ever seen.

What a shame...
I would've rather been putting on the fairways/aprons than on the greens. I'm not certain they should be referred to as "greens"... terrible.
I still can't believe how much money they charge to play this course.
It's a shame because I live 4 miles away and am looking for a home course.

Lousy greens
The course has a great layout with wide fairways, but the green are currently in terrible shape. It is impossible to put because of the aerating. Hopefully they will improve over time.
The restaurant is closed, so don't plan to eat there.

Good course
Haven't played here in a while, and based on the poor condition of the greens I might not play for some time again. The only other problem I found was the cart paths were in terrible shape and my back is still complaining about them. Overall a good course..

Great layout
Played this course great layout. Unfortunately greens weren’t in great shape. But that is part of this time of year. Staff was friendly but need to open snack bar for morning golfers. A few members were huffy about slow play. It’s not my problem you scheduled a doctors appointment. However we played a full round in 3-1/2 hours. So great pace of play here.

The greens are the worst I seen in years.
Course layout and fairways , tee boxes are great.
The putting surface , greens were a complete disaster.
I will come back as soon as they are fixed.
This could be a fantastic golf course then. Sad that greens have gone to such a sad degree.

Poor greens
I have played this course several times and it is one of the friendliest course with exceptionally wide fairways. However, this course has suffered with the worst greens I have ever seen - and not one or two but every green is virtually un-puttable.
But the real issue is there is nothing on the Club's website to indicate how poor the conditions are. Yes the greens fees are somewhat lower but the playing public should be told about conditions - which I hope will improve - before a player shows up in the Pro Shop.

Nice round of golf
Enjoyed day and course very much. Fairways were in good shape. Only problem is the greens that they say are being addressed. We played 2 put only if you were within 1 foot. The pace of play was great, 3 hours 28 minutes. The staff in office and starter were very friendly and nice to talk with. The only negative was no snack bar and refreshments available after finishing. All in all very enjoyable.

Call before you book! The greens have been infested with a disease and were terrible. Overall course layout is nice, but don’t spend the money until the greens come back in.

Unfortunately greens were not good
Our round at HH Lakes was a disappointment. We have always enjoyed the course previously but the greens were virtually unputtable. It’s very sad to see the course slip into such bad condition. They reduced the greens fees but it still was not enough to make up for greens where every 5 foot putt was an adventure won’t return anytime soon.

Terrible greens and tee boxes
