Length 7018 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.7

Oyster Reef features elevated tees and lush fairways lined by thick stands of live oak and pine. Numerous doglegs accented by strategically located mounds and fairway bunkers, call for well-planned tee shots. Varying sizes of greens with well-defined tiers place a premium on precise approach shots.

The par-3 sixth hole, which plays 192 yards from the back tees to a green set against a backdrop of Port Royal Sound, is one of the most visually spectacular holes on Hilton Head. Oyster Reef is now a semi-private member-owned club with a limited number of tee times for guest play,

The carefully-maintained facility, designed by noted course architect Rees Jones, continues to be a favorite destination for serious golfers as well as a favorite with locals.

Solid

Played Oyster Reef for the first time today and it’s a solid option on HHI. I feel like the afternoon rate is a decent value. Not sure I’d pay the $100 plus for a winter morning tee time. But I still enjoyed the course. It’s in good shape. Greens smooth and a nice pace. Fairways are semi dormant this time of year. And tee boxes were ok. There is a lot of sand. And it was very inconsistent. It’s a fun layout with a good mix of holes. A lot of doglegs. They are usually lined by bunkers. And the greens are well bunkered. So a lot of holes that make you think. I would play it again for sure.

Fun round

Like other courses around the area and time of year, we caught the tail end of overseeiding. Still everything except a couple tee boxes was in great condition. Pace was 4 1/2 hours which was nice.

Very nice experience

I would play again but at $112.00 I feel it’s a little pricey.

Greens are real slow and no one apparently repairs ball marks.

Terrible gnat problem on the driving range.

I had to go in the club house and pay $10.00 for bug spray just to hit some balls.

Nice course layout, great greens

Layout of the course was very good. Conditions overall were good; fairways only fair (in some places) but greens were excellent.

Decent course

Course was decent, worth playing, I thought it should have been more of a $60.00 course, but golf prices everywhere have gone thru the roof. Would not pay that much to play it again but we did have a good time playing with the couple we were paired with. Just be advised that it is not a premier golf course that it may be built up to be.

Over priced

This course is not worth greens fees of $165, The greens were very slow and not in good shape. The tee boxes were all beat up and the fairways were in average shape.

I had a coupon for a 10% discount and the pro shop would not honor it because I made my reservation on line.

Overall it was a very bad experience, I've played there the year before and it was in much better place.
