About
The 18-hole Old South Golf Links in Bluffton, S.C. is a public course that opened in 1991. Designed by Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links measures 6,772 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 129 and a 72.4 USGA rating. The course features four sets of tees for different skill levels.
Johnston designed Old South Golf Links in keeping with the beautiful Lowcountry's natural landscape. "Old South Golf Links was designed not only to provide an enjoyable yet challenging golf game, but also to preserve the natural beauty of the land," he said. "I felt that this was an opportunity to allow the golfer to experience up close the uniqueness of the site, its natural amenities and spectacular views."
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.
Old South Golf Links is open to the public seven days a week. There is a clubhouse, restaurant and full-line pro shop on site.

Too Slow
The course was in good shape. The pace of play was very slow. We left because it was getting dark and we started before 2:30.
great deal at the hot deal rate, front nine was somewhat easy, back nine ate me up.... will play this course again and will know my way around it.
Nice layout
Very good layout. Winter conditions were not very good but still an enjoyable round. Good price for a very good course.
Loved this course
My 3rd HH course this week and the best I’ve played winter fairways were excellent greens very good well maintained and some beautiful holes and layout. Staff meet me and picked up my bag and loaded it .
Not complaining but a few little issues would make this all 5 stars . My cart had no sand and had a used score card, Covid cleaning ? No starter or any info about the course given to me . Play it again ? In a minute!
The course conditions, layout, scenery and staff are world class. The best course I've played on ever!
Last minute decision
This was a last minute decision to play Old South. I did not know much about the course before showing up. I went as a single with an extra rider and was paired with 3 others. Everyone was great. Very nice staff from pro shop to starter and beverage personnel. The course was very interesting. A lot of variety from tee to green. Some great marsh views on several holes. Greens were a touch slow but I do believe the area had a bit of rain in the area. Still rolled very nice. Fairways are pretty forgiving with a few forced carries of about 175-190 yds depending on tees, we played blue tees which measured about 6350 yds. Overall a very nice course. I would not hesitate to play it again.
Fun Course
This is a fun course to play with a wide variety of holes. The course is extremely scenic. The staff is friendly and it was, overall, a very good golfing experience.
Lots of personality
First time playing here. We had a great time and considering it’s December, the course was in pretty good shape. Interesting layout, scenic and fun to play. Will definitely play again.
The course has unique features
Excellent value. Conditions were a bit dicey for the course.
Nice course especially for the money
Nice course in very good condition. A few fun holes added in
Great course for the cost
Saw Old South on several top 10 lists so we thought we’d give it a try. It more than delivered especially given the $68 cost. Layout is fantastic with a mix of narrow target holes and longer more generous holes. Lots of water, with beautiful live oaks and views of the marshes. Numerous forced carries but all were very reasonable to carry. Greens were in good shape and relatively flat with only a few tiered greens. Will absolutely return.
