Bluffton Golf Club has been owned and operated by PGA Professional Floyd Young and his family since 1989. The club dates back to 1937, giving it the character of a mature, long-established layout.
The course plays to a par of 72 and measures 6,628 yards from the blue tees. Tees, fairways and greens are irrigated, and stands of mature trees follow the winding path of Little Riley Creek, which comes into play on 13 of the holes.
The Young family added a second course, Hidden Creek Golf Club, in 2008; it sits about six miles away.
