General Information.

 You will have a good time, a couple of items for you. Eagles Pointe has been our Golf Home since 2024. In October of 2026 the course is changing their name to The Bluffton Golf Club. We have Shotgun starts Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (based on season) . We have a maximum of 44 players per round. Our system, Golf Genius, sends out an automated invitation 7 days before each play date. For instance, on Monday, this week an invitation for next Monday will be emailed to you. You decide whether to play or not. Then on Wednesday another invite will be emailed out for next Wednesday and then Friday the next Friday play day.

This week the invites for this coming Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are already out so you need to email us if you wish to play this week. The day before you play an email with a tee sheet will be sent out to you with your tee time and group. You can always cancel if something comes up. Just let us know so the group is not waiting for you. If you cannot attend, PLEASE contact us as the group is waiting and sometimes, we have a waitlist so we can contact a replacement for you.

We are a friendly group, our games consist of individual, 2 man teams, pairs, foursome etc. We do have a $5 entry fee that everyone pays. We require you to have a valid USGA ID, or your handicap is calculated on your event score, until you establish a handicap with our group. You can purchase a USGA ID online with the USGA or at the golf course. I believe the cost is $28 per year.

We pay winners on the first Monday of the month.  The entry fee of $5 is collected at the course when you arrive.

This is all friendly. We have handicap players from 8 to 24 ,no pressure. Comradery is the name of the game.

We use a system called Golf Genius; it will send out invitations, tee times, and confirmations. Our system will also post your scores to the USGA as well. The logo you see above is our logo and will appear on all emails from golf genius.

We have a Web Portal for scorecards, results, calendar and signups, players list, tee times and team assignment for the day, and other info. The link to our Golf Genius website is: www.lmghg-hhl.com. Your email and personal password will give you access to the web page above. The first time you click the above link, click forgot password and you can create a password for your access.

Bluffton Golf Club and Crescent are certified courses with the SMGA – Senior Men’s Golf Association. To join you must be a member of an SMGA certified course, age 50 and over, and have a handicap of 24.0 or less. The cost is $85 per year. SMGA events are held on Monday throughout the year on premier course around the Hilton Head area.

Join in when you can, and we will see you on the course soon.

Frequently asked questions below :

Are there annual league dues or fees?

NO.  Our league has a $5 event fee used for prize funding. Everyone must pay and participate.

Do I have to play ?

NO.  Our system Golf Genius sends out an invitation one week prior to playing. You pick and choose to play or not. 

How do I know When I am playing?

Our System sends out a reminder notice the day before our golf day. Then in the afternoon after 3 pm a tee sheet is emailed with your playing partners names and starting hole location

USGA - Handicap

We require all players to purchase a USGA ID. You can buy this at the pro-shop. The cost varies and currently I believe it is around $28 per year.   If you join as a full member the USGA ID is included in your membership

Our system will post scores to the USGA after our rounds. 

Must I preregister to play Golf?

Yes. We send out invitations one week prior to the event day. On Monday we send out an invite for next Monday, Wednesday and Friday the same.  Players click Playing or Not Playing

As a Member, how many guests can I bring at the guest rate at one time?

Maximum 3 guests at any one time.  Guest must play in a group with a member.

How do I sign up for Skins game and for the Hole In One Challenge?

Skins game is a game played each event. The cost is $5 to enter. There is someone at each event collecting for the game. Payout normally occurs after the round except on Fridays. Payout is placed in the monthly envelope.

Hole in One Challenge. The cost is $5 to enter. It continues to run until someone scores a hole in one.  This is not only Par 3's, a Par 4 counts as well. We payout 100% , and the ace must occur during league play

 

What Tee should I play from?

Here in SC we are below sea level. The ball does not fly as far as up North. One way you can look at this is, If I cannot reach within 160 yards of the hole on a Par 4 from the tee: I should move up a Tee box. You can always change by letting us know before the round.

What Tee boxes are available?

We have Blue, White, White/Green (hybrid), Green, Red.

Most players are playing Green. We encourage new players starting out to play from Men's Red.  Anyone age 80 and over can choose to play.

We encourage everyone to play to enjoy the game. Play within your limits and enjoy the game. Play where you are most cofortable.
