May River Golf Club
May River Golf Club 's setting off the main roadway sets it apart from the local competition. In 2004, Jack Nicklaus completed a visually stunning 7,171-yard course that weaves through coastal wetlands and along the banks of the May River. Caddies are required, and walking is encouraged to fully appreciate the relaxed atmosphere.
Old South Golf Links
The 6,772-yard Old South Golf Links, built in 1991 by Clyde Johnston, climaxes for a stretch of holes on the front nine (nos. 6-9) and the back nine (nos. 16-17) that skirt the Intracoastal marshes of McKay's Creek with the Calibogue Sound on the horizon.
Hilton Head National
Gary Player's fine design, located just one mile from the bridge to the island, essentially put Bluffton golf on the map in 1989. Unfortunately, overwhelming growth within the region ultimately cost the club some of its best holes.
Crescent Pointe Golf Club
Arnold Palmer's contribution to Bluffton is a good one that finishes along the banks of the Colleton River. The 6,773-yard Crescent Pointe Golf Club opened in 2000. Roughly 16 holes require a forced carry of some kind, so choose tees wisely. The epic ninth green rises from the marsh as an island par 3, playing 219 yards from the tips.
Eagle's Pointe Golf Club
Eagle's Pointe Golf Club, one of Davis Love III's first designs, came on board in 1998. At 6,780 yards, it is much more playable than sister course Crescent Pointe. Golfers won't lose as many balls. Its wide fairways are as rare in the Lowcountry as snow. A strong collection of par 3s varies in yardage and looks.
