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.

Very disappointed
Greens were poorly maintained, very patchy weed ridden and the tinting they did to make them look green was sprayed over everything, including the cups. Needed rolling in the worst way, putting was ridiculous

No refund
We booked thru Golf Now and had a family emergency shortly thereafter. We had to leave town and miss the rounds. We called the course to get a refund or rain check and they said they couldn't. They claimed it was Golf Now's policy. I am sure that if I had made arrangements directly with the course, they would have given me at least a rain check. I won't be using Golf now again.

Well worth giving this course a go. Very pretty back nine.
Play was a little slow as a foursome was not keeping up with the group in front causing a two hole gap.

Lots of potential if you give the greens and bunkers some love. It should be a $30-50 course until the improvements.

Needs a little tender loving care
Nice layout. Greens had recently been sanded, but still putted true. Course needs to address clumps of wild grass in otherwise excellent fairways.
Thank you for visiting us at The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Trashy
Should have known better after 20 days of rain. Course was muddy and fairways on the front 9 were not cut. Cart path only
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
WORST COURSE EVER! 0/100!
Course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen a golf course. Absolutely terrible. Grass was uneven and the entire course was muddy.
Apparently it’s a golf cart path only course. There were not proper signs to indicate this as me and my friend did not see any anywhere (in fact on one hole it instructed us to keep our carts on the fairway, it had a sign with an arrow that said stay right of the cart path). Some guy came out dropping F bombs screaming at us to get the F off the grass (Hole 2) (again no proper signs instructed us to do so)
Just an overall terrible experience. Avoid this course and you will thank me later.
Mr. Constant,
First and foremost, we would like to apologize for the way you were spoken to on golf course premises— if it was one of my employees, I would love for you to send me an email and explain the incident in further detail. I can assure that our Pro Shop has proper signage stating that the golf course was Cart Path Only. Prior to your arrival we had received 16 inches of rain in 8 days. It’s important that both members and guests alike follow the rules of our course to ensure the playing conditions are at the highest standards we expect.
Thank You,
Justin McFadden

Never again
I’ve played a handful of the Hilton head courses, and the only reason I tried this one was because it was on the way home, but I was mistaken.
PLAY SOMEWHERE ON THE ISLAND.
I recommend old south if off the island.
I paid $65 “Hot Deal” and it was a 2 1/2 hour front 9. The fairways were splotched with rough patches which I have never seen before. — in all honesty, this is just no where near as nice of a course as you’ll see on Hilton Head Island. They should change this course name because it’s subpar and doesn’t need to tarnish the Hilton Head name.
Trust me. Also, the lady in the pro shop tried to make me pay $25 for my girlfriend to ride with me. HECK NO. I didn’t and I will not do that especially when the course is as sub par as that one.
Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to play a nice course on the island.
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave feedback on your recent round with us. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Your feedback is extremely important to us.

Pay extra and stay on HHI
First time to the area and I realize there was some rain Monday night, but this course was still soggy wet. Rubber boots would have been the better foot attire. I’m guessing it never dies out. I think this is built on Jasper swamp???
I booked this course in error. I meant to book something closer to our condo for the week.
I wish I had paid a few extra dollars and played one of the nicer courses on HHI, avoided the drive and not soaked my shoes.
Nothing good or bad to say about the staff.
Back nine was better than the front!
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes!
No Drainage on course
All the houses yards drained to the course. Weeds in fairway, fairways were so wet it was hard to walk on them. Maybe under dry conditions it would be better
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
It was okay.
Not a bad course... just nothing stood out about it. About average price for a course around there. I'm sure there are worse courses and better courses to play at. Don't mean to sound negative but nothing about this course makes me go "oh, that's a nice course".
