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.

Golfer Reviews
Good value. Some greens in very rough shape.
Got a “hot deal” for about $60 for 18 holes, including own cart. Played as a single; joined another single and a couple. Very nice spur of the moment outing. Done in about 4.5 hours. No trouble w pace of play. Rented decent clubs for $55.
Pleasant staff.
Would definitely consider golfing there again.
Good value
Best value in HHI. We picked one of the hottest days of the year but staff was friendly and course was in good shape. They were growing some tee boxes so seemed like course played shorter than card.
Fun, challenging course
We always enjoy playing here during our annual visit to HHI as there are some great holes, beautiful views, and just a fun layout. When we played the greens were in poor condition due to recent aeration? That was the only disappointment and the HOT weather!
Golf with family and friends
Golf course was in really good condition and enjoyed the layout. Pace of play was great. Never felt pushed or had to wait. Thanks
Bang for buck
Starting with negatives - a few of the greens are rough and need repairs.
Old south is a challenging course without being impossible. They have a nice driving range and practice area. Nice restaurant, clubhouse etc. You can set your watch by the starter. The course is well kept, groomed and the bunkers have sand in them. More than I can say for several places. The staff I encountered were all polite, professional and helpful. Yes- we’ll be back.
Great course
The course had amazing views and great staff that was happy to help in every aspect. The course was well maintained and had lots of unique holes. Course is a must play in this area.
All good but the greens
Course in great condition except for the greens. They were terrible and almost unplayable. It was cart path only, and fairways were quite wet. Stilll a nice track to play at a reasonable price. You
Very bad greens
The staff, food and layout was great but the greens were horrible. Not worth $70.00
Perfectly Fine Course But Beware The Forced Carries
Never played here before but I’m willing to play again when I return to the area.
The forced carries over marshland were a real challenge for my girlfriend, who doesn’t hit the ball a long way. The only issue I had with them was that I couldn’t really get a sense visually of how far away the landing area was, but that’s more a “me” problem. There were markers on the tee telling me how far it was, but the numbers were way off what I’d have guessed, so might need to get my eyes checked.
Pace of play was hard to assess as it was cart path only and we were a twosome behind a foursome. They let us play through on our 8th hole and we sailed along after that.
Greens had some burnt areas but that’s probably normal for this time of year.
Will definitely play again.
Very good course and extremely helpful staff
Enjoyed our first time at Old South overall. Some of the greens needed repair.
We appreciate the 5 stars and are glad to hear you enjoyed your round at Old South. Greens are transitioning from winter grass to summer bermuda and Mother Nature has been slower than normal this year.
Minor disappointment
Was really expecting greens to be in better shape. Tees were basically sand. I will go back though since I really like the layout.
Greens are taking longer than usual to transition from winter to summer grass. Tee boxes are on the schedule to be replaced/repaired in August. We do hope you will visit again.
