Old South Golf Links

I was in a 3-some with two older gentleman. Behind up was two 2-somes. We allowed both groups to play through. It slowed us down. Why didn’t the starter pair them up? It would have been better for pace of play.

Really good course, great layout and challenging. First time playing it but highly recommend it. Looking forward to returning later this year and planning to play it again.

If I’m laying $137 to play a mediocre track, a bucket of beat up range balls should be included. Will not be coming back.

Course in good shape, pace is good and cheaper than on island

Would recommend this course to anybody who decided to play it’s a wonderful course challenging people are friendly seeing it’s public. It could be kind of packed in there one’s a little slow.

Greens were amazing. Fair ways were hard and grass was spotty.

Played OS on 4/18. 5:45 hrs to play. Waited from the start of 2nd hole on every shot. By #12, there were 3 groups on the tee waiting. No ranger until we called. 4 of the greens have significant browning of the grass and are in danger of loosing along with multiple tee boxes. Starter has attitude of you can be a customer or not, but most everyone else was cordial. Fifth course played this week and by far the worst run facility. I’ve played OS about 20x’s in past 10 years and Leah’s loved the facility. Will not be coming back for a while. Other courses seem to want my business more.

There were a few quirky holes, but overall ok. Greens were slower than others in the area.

A very well maintained course just off of Hilton Head Island. Island courses wanting more for courses in bad conditions. Old South has some challenging holes due to the water. But if you hit it straight, water is not an issue. Gotta carry on a few tee boxes but nothing too serious. Will definitely play again when staying on HHI. I don't want to forget to mention Maria, the cart girl. Super friendly and even went back to the clubhouse to restock for some drinks we wanted.

Starter was great. Let us go early to be a twosome. We didn’t catch up to the group ins front of us til the 5th hole. Back nine was backed up with three groups playing a hole a few times but things moved along. Irritating that grounds crews were mowing fairways in the middle of the day and didn’t get out of the middle or at least stop for play. Fairways were dry and sparse at times. Greens were slow and fuzzy.

We were 15 minutes behind pace of play, but it wasn't too bad. At least they had a ranger on the course monitoring. He stopped by to apologize and say he was trying to get a group holding us up to move faster. That is very much appreciated. Overall a very good time. Nice course.

Normally I play a very nice Georgia course where the greens are immaculate and the fairways are fully grown in and well maintained. It usually runs about $110 on the weekends, which is already on the higher end for that area, but the conditions usually justify the price.

I played Old South Golf Links yesterday and it was $137, so I went into the round pretty excited expecting something at least on par—or better—than what I’m used to locally. Right off the bat, I got paired up with a really good twosome, which made the round more enjoyable and kept things moving in a good rhythm.

The overall experience was a mix of highs and lows. The course itself had a solid layout and there were moments where it really showed its potential, but when you factor in the price point, I expected a bit more consistency across the board. Coming from a course where the conditioning and presentation are very dialed in, I found myself comparing everything pretty directly.

At $137, I was expecting a “premium” feel throughout the entire round—tee to green, practice areas, and general course conditioning. Instead, it felt more like a course that has great moments but doesn’t fully justify that higher weekend rate compared to what I normally play.

That said, the people I got paired with were great, which always helps a round of golf feel better no matter what the course is like. And anytime you’re out playing, especially on a new track, there’s still value in just being outside and competing against your own game.

Overall, I left feeling like it was a decent round, but not quite the value or experience I expected for the price.
