Oyster Reef Golf Course

This is the second time we played Oyster Reef. The layout is challenging but manageable and the course was in good shape for very early spring. We also appreciated the fact that the staff makes a point of telling the players about an appropriate pace of play and we finished in under 4.5 hours. We played 4 other courses on HH this week and all the other rounds ran about 5 hours. we will definitely return to Oyster Reef.

Nice course. Condition a little less than expected.

Oyster Reef is a nice payout with challenging holes for all levels of golfers. Despite heavy play, the course is in good condition. Not a walkers course due to gaps between holes within community.

Only complaint was pace of play.....15 minutes per hole is too slow and no rangers on course moving people along.

We booked with GolfNow for $65 USD per player and when we arrived the charge at the course was $105 USD per player. This took some of the enjoyment out of the day and was very disappointing. Otherwise, everything was great.

The front nine fairways were a little dry and the greens had blemishes, but the back nine conditions were excellent. The course is spread out for serene and unforgettable golf experience.

Rangers need to enforce pace of play. % hour rounds are ridiculous.

A very nice course, fairways were typical for early -mid March but beautiful greens and good ter boxes. Staff was friendly, professional and helpful. A great value since we played other cheaper courses and walked off 2 of them due to poor condition of the courses.

The pace of play was 2:45 hours on the front and 2 hours on the back.

The course is very playable and offers some nice views.

Had a 11:48 hot deal tee-time and it was drizzling and the forecast was for heavier rain later in day so I called in the am and they said to come out earlier and they would move us up. I was apprehensive because they also said it would be cart path only. Had there’s some and We went for it at 9:30 the rain stopped by our first tee shot at 9:45. Course was in great shape the overnight rain had little effect on it (I doubt we needed the cart path only), but had course to ourselves. Pro shop and starter couldn’t be nicer - and course is by far the jewel of the heritage courses. Also played shipyard and robbers row and not a comparison in terms of course and staff friendliness. Robbers’ does has much nicer practice facility. The day before we played oyster had 215 golfers 5 plus hour round, I would much rather play in light rain in 3:45 but to this point course was in great shape for getting that much play. Also, probably worth paying more for the earlier tee time or do the 3 play pass heritage offers. The course layout provides almost ever hole a unique and private experience with great risk reward.

The course was in bad shape with the greens having a lot of sand and in some cases other damaged areas. For the greens fees we paid, which were beyond reasonable, the course was not worth it. Very disappointed with the course. The pace of play was not managed. We waited on every hole and just about every shot.

The conditioning of the course was not worth the price of the green fee. There was a Marshall on the course but he was more interested in looking for golf balls in the thick rough than making sure pace-of-play was being respected. It was a solid 4hr 30min round, maybe even 4hr 45min round.

I have been playing this course for at least 20 years during my winter stop in HH. It has a terrific layout and a hole that runs out to the Sound (priceless in HH.) Play was jammed up on the back nine 9it was late in the day) so because I was a single I left my group 9with apologies) and asked the cart attendant if I could redo the front nine. His response was fantastic. "Go for it" he said and play as many as you can because I will be here until long after dark. I played a full nine in about 60 minutes. Thanks "Ian" for your help and for making sure that Oyster Reef remains my favourite golf course on the island.

Pace of play (7:40 AM start) was perfect. A leisurely 4 hrs for our 3 players. Weren't pushing players in front, weren't being pushed by players behind. Staff very friendly and informative. Conditions were good considering still spring (3/9) but not great. Greens were very nice, and true. Scoring could've been lower but unfamiliarty with course cost us more than several strokes. A nice course but priced a bit steeper than condition and play warranted.

Although a bit pricey, Oyster Reef is a quality layout with good conditions. Pace of play 4:20. seven.
