Oyster Reef Golf Course - Reviews

PROS: Scenic layout with woods and water, great condition CONS: Fairly flat "Nice track. Greens and tees and fairways in great shape. Challenging especially from the blue tees."

A beautiful, strategically challenging course, Oyster Reef's 18 holes will never cease to please golfers of any level. It features a respectable number of bunkers, dog legs, water, and other natural hazards that provide a reasonable test of skill while still maintaining fairness. In 2000, all of the greens were converted to state-of-the-art Tif Eagle Bermuda grass.

Oyster Reef, rated one of the top 25 new course in America in 1983, features elevated tees and lush fairways lined by thick stands of live oak and pine. Numerous doglegs accented by strategically located mounds and fairway bunkers, call for well-planned tee shots. Varying sizes of greens with well-defined tiers place a premium on precise approach shots. The par-3 sixth hole, which plays 192 yards from the back tees to a green set against a backdrop of Port Royal Sound, is one of the most visually spectacular holes on Hilton Head. Oyster Reef is now a semi-private member-owned club with a limited number of tee times for guest play, The carefully-maintained facility, designed by noted course architect Rees Jones, continues to be a favorite destination for serious golfers as well as a favorite with locals.

Nice layout with plenty of good holes. The course was in great shape, and the greens were fast and true.
