There are better courses in the area. Yes, the price is low, but the Bluffton Golf Club course is marginal at best.
No drinking water on course, marginal maintenance on traps. Bring extra balls the roughs are deep. The play is slow probably due to everyone trying to find their ball with no ranger any where. The cart was filthy.
Never again.

Driving back home from Lima, OH and saw this course just 5 minutes off I-75 and decided to give a try. What a beautiful straight forward 6,668yd / 71.5 / 122 Par 72 links layout. Scattered hardwood trees line the slightly rolling well maintained fairways, with the rough mowed to 2.5-3" tall throughout the course. Now to the greens, WOW were they fast, hard, true and smooth and not a flat putt to be found. Needed to bring approach shots in from upstairs and 3-5yds short of target and the front pins played very tough. Aprons mowed to 5-6' out that were smooth/short enough to putt from as most greens fell off to feed them as they were rolling at a 9-10. Enjoyed my 2.5hr loop for the $25 18/cart Senior price on this windy (15-20mph) sunny afternoon shooting 39/42 w/35putts. Leagues were filling up the course when I finished and I could see why, conditions will bring people in. This is a must stop if traveling through this area in the afternoon looking for conditions and fair pricing on an enjoyable Links layout.
