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.

Late March golf
Disappointed would be the best way to start. I realize the round we played was a late March/early spring but compared to other courses we played in the last 2weeks this was not in good shape. The greens where not at all consistent being rough and the course in general need a lot of tender love and care
Unique and challenging layout
Very fun course, very tough and beautiful scenery. The conditions are not in perfect shape right now, but it’s understandable. It’s that time of the year for all courses in the area. A month or two of nice weather and good maintenance, I think this course could be the hidden gem of Hilton Head.
Great course. Forgiving but tragically placed traps.
Overall the course was in great shape. Nice layout. Forgiving tee shots. Some cart paths had some damaged concrete. Traps around most greens and on sides of fairways for the longer hitters.
Great Drivers Course, Ok Conditions
Layout is always fun to play, really great practice course as most holes are wide open. Great natural scenery especially on the back nine. Course conditions were playable but very inconsistent. Poa has definitely made its home here especially on the greens. Beware of bumpy putts and inconsistent speeds. Should be better by early summer.
Great condition overall & the greens were fast & true
I’ve played this course numerous times & always have a great experience. Will be playing again soon I hope !!

So enjoying playing The Golf Club. This time however it appeared the greens had been taken over by Poa annua, some in worse shap than others. It also appeared the crew attempted to role the greens to remove the bumpness however it impacted putting. Everything else was fine.
Love the layout
Great service, starter got us (2some) out early so we never saw another group until the back. Sorry that the greens are still poana but its that time of year. Rest of the course was very good.
Excellent value
Played March 19. Had played the previous year when we had enjoyed it. This year the course was even better. Well defined fairways, true greens and all in great condition. Weel worth playing especially when compared to some of the overpriced venues on Hilto Head Island.
Get out to Hilton Head Lakes
Nice and friendly people, and the course is maturing well
Enjoyable
Great experience! Staff was super nice and very helpful. The course was challenging. Greens were not in great shape. I'll be back again.
Poa Ana infiltrated Greens
Greens have tons of poa ana on them making puts bounce and veir left and right randomly. It is also thick around the greens which makes chipping an adventure. The course should reduce their fees until they get this under control which won't likely happen till it dies off in the summer.
Will Play Again
Our round was just after the big snowstorm and it was CPO, understandably so. There were many wet spots in the fairway but the greens were in amazingly great shape.
If you like wide fairways this the place to play. Never seen fairways this wide. Inside & outside people were very friendly and informative about the course.
Might be the best course around
The most only problem was pace, it was cart path only. So I think on a regular day the course would have a better pace.
Nice people but bad course
Course is in horrible condition. If it gets any worse it will be a goat track. Needs a multi-million dollar TLC renovation. Sorry I didn't take photos to share.
The staff is friendly so I don't fault them at all.
Great day to be alive! Playing golf! ⛳
First time playing this course. Clubhouse staff was awesome! Marshal was a trip! Course was in good shape, not excellent. Weather has been kind of crazy around here lately, so it's understandable. Greens were very bumpy, had 31 putts on the round, could've shaved a few. Lot's of wet areas(due to recent weather)
Very enjoyable round, father and son we were paired with made it even more enjoyable. Will definitely be back!
