Designed by award winning course architect, Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links is a tribute to man working within nature's fragile guidelines. Not only did Johnston preserve the natural beauty of the land, his design allows golfers to experience up close the uniqueness of the site, it's natural amenities and spectacular views.

As Johnston himself so aptly put it, "the variety of the setting from oak forest to open pasture to tidal salt marsh provided an opportunity to vary the design elements and strategy of play." Guests and critics alike have been raving about Johnston's work since the beginning when Old South was selected by Golf Digest as one of the "top ten new public courses of 1992."Featuring towering live oaks, rolling Scottish terrain and magnificent views from island greens, Old South has truly become a Lowcountry favorite.

The sixteenth hole at Old South is one of the most challenging and picturesque par 4's in the Lowcountry. With the tee boxes tucked back in the woods, the green is hidden from view on this long dogleg left. The landing area lies 220 yards from the championship tee box and is hemmed in on three sides with trouble. Short or left is wet, long is in the trees and a shot to the right, although usually playable, will require a long iron to the green. A great drive to the middle of the landing area leaves a player with a 170 yard second shot over the salt marsh again to the magnificent two-tiered island green, beyond the green lies a grand view of the intracoastal waterway and Hilton Head Island. Many matches are won or lost on this hole, where even the best players would gladly take par and move on.

Nice track...friendly staff As they say timing is everything. Unforturnately, the day we played they were over-seeding so we had to play cart path only and the greens were not maintained as expected. Knowing though from others that this is not the norm, I still would recommend this course due to its design and challenge that it presents. It has been a long term favorite for many in the low country(Bluffton/HH Island). Nice clubhouse and range with a restaurant that was well in use when we arrived. Looking forward to playing there again. October 22, 2012
Great views of the marsh and water... Other than very slow greens no complaints. Last 3 holes on each side are places for pictures. April 4, 2013
Good Golf at a Great Value As a visitor to HHI, I would recommend this course. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The course gets and keeps your attention. You can play from off the fairway on most holes, but accuracy is rewarded. The overseeded rye greens are sticky and a bit on the slow side but roll true. I would like to see how they putt during summer. I was out early in a threesome and finished in 3:15 and took advantage of the replay rate of $35 with a $10 lunch voucher. The afternoon round took about 4:20 and that was with waiting on several holes. With the Hot Deal and replay rates, I paid less for 36 holes at Old South than I would have for one round on the island. I look forward to coming back! April 2, 2013
Low country golf at its finest Friendly staff and beautiful course. Only 4 holes where you can see houses. The rest is a beautiful low country backdrop. I used every club in my bag. A must play when in the HHI area. March 30, 2013
better than harbour town! easily the best of the 4 hilton head courses I played in a week long trip (including harbour town). The course was very well laid out with frequent changes in direction and no trick/ blind shots off the blue tees. every hole was a challenge in its own right but the 5/6 holes which border the marshlands were superb. March 29, 2013
Interesting / nice mix. Good shape / great value. Didn't have a round booked for our last day; so we played it again. Yummy pulled pork ! March 24, 2013
nice mix from hole to hole Very nice course and staff. I liked the fact that several holes required the proper placement of the first shot, made you think. Look forward to coming to HHI and playing it again. The pros, started and ranger were helpful and friendly. March 21, 2013
Great low country environment. This course was in as good a shape as the nicer ones I played on Hilton Head Island. It features unique holes that are a challenge and scenery that is definitely low country. Water hazards are on many holes with the marsh, swamp and pond areas. Alligators are apparent, but not close enough to harm you. March 20, 2013
Old South has never disapointed me It was a tough winter in HHI, but Old South was in great shape. I played other courses during my stay, and Old South was the best. So I played it twice that week. Found the staff as friendly as ever. I'll be back in 2014. March 17, 2013
There are a couple of holes that are tricked out, but otherwise a very fair course with some outstanding views. I would play it again. We played the course in less than favorable conditions with rain and wind. It was a very fair course. There are a couple of holes that are tricked out, but otherwise wide fairways and reasonable distances from the middle tees. I would play the course again when in the area. March 16, 2013
Challenging layout, good conditions Even in winter conditions, after a LOT of rain, this course was in great shape. Tough layout with a few blind shots and tricky fairways and greens. This course gets plenty of well deserved compliments. March 3, 2013
a challenging 18 holes Enjoyed the round. The course is in good shape and challenges all levels of golfing capability March 3, 2013
Love the layout and mix of holes Course was great but the proshop let out a fivesome in front of us which I didnt appreciate. There is no reason for this and they would not allow everyone that requested to go out as a fivesome to do so. Therefore they should not allow anyone to do that. Even the Marshall had problems with it as he cannot do his job. March 3, 2013
Tough course with a lot of water We got there 1/2 hour before our tee time and there was a one hour delay, which meant very very slow play over 5 hour round. This course is tough and a LOT of water everywhere. if you are not great at target golf, pass on this course or you will go through a lot of balls and get frustrated. February 26, 2013
very good golf course and friendly staff Booked this online and it was Avery good value. The c o user was in great shape and the starter was very efficient and friendly,he explained the course layout,where restrooms were and so as o where drinking water was located. Overall a very nice place to play off of the island February 23, 2013
Weather was poor... We like to play Old South every time we visit HH. It is a nice, playable course with eXcellent staff. We played the first day and quit after 5 holes due to the cold and wind. Even though it WAS NOT raining, the pro shop gave 4 of us a 9 hole rain check...very nice. We came back two days later and managed to get in 6 holes befor it started raining, and we gave up. February 23, 2013
Absolutely Georgeous This is the 5th course I have played while on vacation, and it is the best one yet. The setting beautiful, with holes along the marsh. The greens were in better condition than the other four courses. A beautiful, serene place to play. I want to play here again before I go home. This one a must if you come to Hilton Head. Take your camera with you if you play Old South. February 21, 2013
This is a Must Play Course! Each and every hole offers a unique challenge. The course is , scenic, in great condition, and long before you finish your first game, you will be planning for the next one. February 21, 2013
Challenging, yet player friendly course. This was my first time playing this course. The course was very well maintained for playing in mid February. It's features many water lined holes that require somewhate precise tee shot placement. I look forward to playing this course again on my next trip. February 19, 2013
Good overall experience. Enjoy playing this course. It is challenging, but fair, and have some really memorable holes. Generally the course conditions are quite good. The only thing I really don't like is having three holes that have a 90 degree dog-leg. I can live with one, but three gets a little goofy. February 18, 2013
Great Greens very few ballmarks breaks half the expected unfortunately the weather was not so pleasant. It was 45 derees then the wind kicked up making it about 30 degrees. then the rain came and at about the fifth hole it was not worth the effort. February 17, 2013
One of my favorites in the area. This is one of the best courses in the HHI for the money. Great conditions, friendly staff and wonderful layout. February 14, 2013
great course Old South is a challenging but fair golf course. Greens are excellent conditions and roll true. February 14, 2013
Great course My favorite course in Bluffton, staff is great and the course is amazing. February 11, 2013
Use every club in the bag. I have played this course many times and it is always in great shape!! I wish the Greens were faster but that is the only thing I would say is lacking. One of the best features for me is the different choices off the Back Tee's I used 3 wood 3 or 4 times and 3 Hybrid a few times as well. You have plenty of opportunity to let it fly with the driver also. Very strong Par 5's and par 3's on this course and you have to think your way thru most of the par 4's!! I highly recommend playing this track!! January 28, 2013
Fun and Challenging course with good greens A good confidence booster from all the very tough courses on Hilton Head, challenging yet possible to post an awesome score. January 25, 2013
Challenging holes with marshes, tight fairways You will need to use most of your clubs, precision is the key. Good value for the money. January 22, 2013
Challenging Course Course was in very good condition. Course has a challenging layout on many holes. January 15, 2013
Challenging course, narrow fairways with troubles left and right This was the most challenging of the 6 courses we played around Hilton Head Island. The challenges came due to the rather narrow fairways, tall trees, water, hazzards on every hole on both sides of the fairways. Not a good course for occasional golfers. January 13, 2013
Lots of water Water on most holes. Very challenging green are slow but well kept. January 13, 2013
