Old South Golf Links

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.

This course used to be one of the more reasonable priced courses to play when we came down. Prices have gone up dramatically and I don’t think the conditions have improved dramatically.

My wife and I played Old South our first time in the Hilton Head/ Bluffton area. The course itself is one of the most picturesque courses we have had the opportunity to play (including some high end northeast tracks) The course was in great shape, a great test of golf. Every hole is different. Greens were a bit slow, but the area has been in draught conditions, thinking they are dumping water on them. The staff was very friendly.

We got paired with a local couple. They were also great. This place makes us want to move to the area.

First time playing the course - excellent! Super friendly staff, great course layout, pace of play was great. The course was in excellent condition, greens were great. Absolutely recommend to others.

Very nice course in great condition. Back 9 more challenging than front.

Course was great!! Fully grassed fairways and fast greens.. Can't wait to play again. Very good price and loved the layout! Challenging and fun.

This is one of our favorite courses in HHI/Bluffton area. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the course is scenic and in really good shape. And you can't beat the price. Highly recommend!

I played Old South during COVID and recently booked another round through GolfNow at a great rate. The course was in excellent condition from tee to green, with well-maintained fairways and smooth putting surfaces. It’s a thoughtfully designed layout—challenging enough to keep things interesting, yet still very playable for the average golfer. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone in the area and am already looking forward to getting one more round in before I head out in a few days.

Staff was very friendly. Cool layout especially out in the march. Nice clubhouse and driving range. Very well run.

I played Old South Golf Links d during Covid when we visited Hilton head Island. We enjoyed it so much so I decided to book a tee time through GolfNow and got a great price. The course was an unbelievable shape from tee boxes, fairways to greens. And the design is fun but playable and scenic. I highly recommend this golf course when you’re visiting Hilton Head because I’m gonna play again in a few days.

Love this course. We have played it every time we travel to here. Our “go to” course!

The course exceeded my expectations. The property was well maintained and the staff were friendly. The course layout was unique and sufficiently challenging.
