Eagle's Pointe Golf Club is a defining statement and signature design of PGA Tour professional Davis Love III. It's located in Bluffton, SC, just a few miles from the bridge that leads to Hilton Head Island and, among local golfers, it is one of the most popular 'off-island' courses.
Eagle's Pointe strikes a balance between a difficult golf course and one everyone can play; it's one of the most player-friendly courses on Hilton Head Island. This course will have you hitting every club in the bag and allow you to take advantage of what you do well. If you want to score well at Eagle's Pointe, you'll need to hit a lot of fairways and avoid the ominous fairway bunkers. That shouldn't be a problem if you can hit the ball straight as a lot of the hazards here are on the edge of the fairway. But that's only half the battle; you'll also have to perform well on the large, undulating putting surfaces.
The course offers several risk-reward opportunities that will challenge golfers of all abilities. While the generous landing areas allow you to hit driver off most tees, the emphasis here is on the approach shots to large, undulating greens. Love has always emphasized the putting game, and boldly contoured greens have become his signature. The greens at Eagle's Pointe don't disappoint in this respect.
After your round, be sure to stop by the lounge for your favorite after-golf libation. If you're hungry, why not try one of Eagle's Pointe's delicious sandwiches such as the Club or Pulled Pork BBQ? Their weekly specials include a Meatloaf Sandwich served on a hoagie roll and slathered in brown gravy and a Sausage and Peppers sandwich which is phenomenal.
The pro shop at Eagles Pointe Golf Club is fully-stocked with some of the top names in golf equipment and apparel you can find. Browse through their selection of the game's top name brands. You can also schedule some golf lessons so that you can put that equipment to good use. And what better place to use it than on the practice range. Eagle's Pointe has a full-length driving range where you can hit every one of those new clubs, as well as a chipping area and practice putting green.
Want free unlimited range balls for those new clubs? As a member of Eagle's Pointe, that's just one of the perks. Through Brown Golf Management's membership program, you'll have access and unlimited range balls at seven local Bluffton/Hilton Head courses as well as unlimited golf and free golf lessons anytime you like. Now you have no excuse not to get better!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
