Old South Golf Links

The hospitality at this course was the best I’ve experienced at a golf course. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The course was in good condition minus one green. What a fun course to play.

The course was wide open so so played in about 3 hours. The starter let me go off early also. The conditions were great and the course layout is fantastic and very scenic.

Great way to experience Hilton Head golf for a North-Easterner.

I’m a reasonably discerning golfer (handicap around scratch) and found this course a fair test of game.

Went out as a single. Staff who checked me in was super friendly, same as the staff who loaded my bag. 1st tee was wide open and staff said won't run into anyone for a while. They were right. Caught group on 6th hole let me thru. Played in less than 2 hours. Ran into several other groups but all let me go through. Course we'll maintained even with lack of rain. Greens had solid pace. Will play there when back in town.

Layout was enjoyable. Fairways and tees had a lot of grass. Greens were like putting on Velcro and very slow and bad spots here and there.

Greens burnt…tees burnt….same old story. Doesn’t matter June or July. Oh and forgot about the four temporary greens. Ugh.

Even with an 820am tee time it was brutally hot by the time we made the turn to #10. Heat index was well over 100 and actually the round became un-fun for no fault of the course but for the weather.

My review is simply to ask the golf shop to provide added refreshment carts and possibly provide cool towels to the golfers. We only saw the cart lady 2 times in nearly 5 hours. The ideal would have been to have at least 2 refreshment carts.

Course is a good layout with a nice mix of "gettable" holes along with some that are "make your par and move along". There are also several holes that are dramatic dog-legs which provide shotmaking rather than length.

Condition wise it was in very good shape. Bermuda grass throughout and being in mid-July one would expect it to be at it's best and it was. Nice practice facility grasses. Greens were a little on the slow side but I'm sure it was to protect them from browning out.

Lastly, there are many courses one can play on HHead but just about all other have pricing at the $100+ point. Old South is well worth the $65 I paid.

Early tee time on a hot summer day. Very busy Saturday in mid-summer. The course ranger did a very good job of keeping things running smoothly. Course was in great shape, I’ve never been a fan of the layout on hole number 16 but the rest of the course was very good. Looking forward to going back.

Overall in reasonable shape but many greens had areas of repair areas.

Fun course, lots of scenic holes. Played two temp greens

I’m so glad we chose to play Old South. The staff was incredibly friendly and the course was absolutely beautiful. Our group had a wide range of handicap scores and everyone enjoyed it. I’d play this course again for sure. In fact, I’m already planning a golf trip to HHI and this one is a must play!

Overall the outing was good, weather held out which was great cause it was pouring right before we got there. The drink girl could come around more often, I had an earlier tee time but it wasn’t until hole 9 that I even saw her, by then we lost pace of play so I didn’t want to hold it up anymore but it was holiday week so I understand. Some greens were temporarily changes to shorter holes so those played funny and the distance tracker in cart was off.

Four temporary greens in play. Course in good shape. Greens were not in the best condition, slow and shaggy. The cost was discounted due to having four temporary greens. Marshall had complimentary water which was much appreciated. I enjoy playing this course when visiting Hilton Head.

My favorite course around HHI. Great links style layout with the right amount of challenge. Staff was very friendly and pace of play was good. A must for a HHI golf trip. And don’t forget to try out the 19th hole island green challenge!

There were temporary greens set up in the fairway short of the real greens. I was told give yourself a two putt on these. I would like to play again if they can save the greens. Fairways were in decent shape.

Not made aware of 4 temporary greens by Gilfnow. Totally disappointed.
