Old South Golf Links

Every time I’m in Bluffton which is 3-4 times a year I play old south

My son took me there for Father’s Day we payed $190 for the two of us and I have to say I’ve never seen the greens in as bad a shape the rest of the course was great but greens where bad

No reduction in green fees but just let down by the poor greens

Our group of 4 was behind a group of two and the ranger kept stopping us to get us to “play to the group in front” even though we were on pace or ahead of pace for the majority of the round. This was totally unnecessary and made the round much less enjoyable.

As always the staff is a highlight of this venue as I've never met someone working there that had a modicum of a frown on their face or wasn't quick to help you in any way they could. The starter, beverage cart operator, pro shop attendee, and kitchen staff were all outstanding.

As we were waiting for our chance to go off of the 1st tee, we overheard the dreaded news of the greens recently aerated. I understand courses need to do this, but unfortunately my opinion on the course conditions echo many of the other recent reviews and what I expected out of this course from previous visits.

I live about 50 minutes away and all winter the prices were so high I couldn't justify the drive and cost, finally after watching all winter I caught it on a reasonable price and decided to make the trek only to deal with greens that are barren with sand and concrete like patches (multiple staff members told me it hasn't been hot enough for the bermuda to come through yet), punched (understandable golf course maintenance), and tee boxes that were mostly sand. It's unfortunate that I had to wait all winter looking forward to playing this course and had to deal with those conditions but i'll give it another shot hopefully before the fees double again to see if it gets back to where I know it could be.

Great staff. Course was in so so condition. Greens were not in a great shape. Probably a tad expensive for the course.

Just about everything about this course was fantastic! The course was beautiful and was in great shape. Greens were a little rough due to aeration, but no other complaints. Excellent price too! This was my first time playing this course, and I will most definitely be back!

Old South is a beautiful course with abundant nature to enjoy. Only 2 or 3 holes border homes, all others are true Lowcountry with trees and marshes galore. Fairways were in great shape when we played, only downer were the greens that were being aerated. Perhaps a heads up at the time of booking would have been nice.

I was very disappointed, not only the greens and tee box but overall the course was not up to my history playing there. I played a little over a year ago and it was great, so I don’t know if management has changed but they need to get back to the way it has been in the past many years or it won’t be around long.

First time playing here. My son and I loved the course and it was a very good value. Friendly staff and the course looked great!

Have always enjoyed the course, but the greens were not just punched. They were also sanded terribly and not rolled. Was like putting in the rough. No warning during check in, and I guess GN wouldn’t warn you. But ruined the day.

Old South is an excellent track with an enjoyable layout. I played it with my 14 year old son, and he loved it also.

We played from the blues. The fairways were in excellent condition and the tee boxes were good as well. However, like many courses at this time of year, they had aerated the greens recently and applied sand. The greens are on their way back in now, and I'd imagine will be really good in another week or two. If you can book a round towards the end of the month, absolutely do so.

Fairways We’re Great Shape

Great Layout

Greens Had.Been Aerated, Otherwise 5 Star

Love Old South Golf Links. This course has traditional, straightforward holes, then some very different, interesting holes that require specific shot placement. The 4th Hole Par 3 has an option to get a Pro Shop Gift Card if you hit the green; one of the coolest features on any course I’ve ever played. Very scenic layout, loved this course.

Had a great time playing today. Staff was very friendly and inviting. Driving range was good, not excellent. Course is in great shape minus the greens. They were recently aerated and are slow and rough. Otherwise the course was very challenging with a lot of OB and water. Highly recommend for the rate.

First time playing the course and was surprised. Good layout with some good amenities and fairly friendly staff. Really enjoyed the end of the front nine being in the marsh and having some island holes, bridges were nice and not degraded much. Only downside was the recent green aeration and alot of top dressing making it hard to judge for speed, almost played all putts through the break that would be there. Conditions of the green added a stroked easily every hole if your proximity was outside 20 feet.

Course is nice! Greens are a little lacking this time of year but rolled good just didn't look good. Staff was awesome!
