About

Holes 18

Type Semi-Private

Par 72

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.

Oyster Reef Has Gone Aground

This was one of my favorite courses but it is now quite run down. The greens are excellent but the course is overrated and over priced. The cart paths are in much need of repair and the bunkers should be freshened up.

Really good course.

The course is very playable, even for a high handicapper. It was only my third round of the year so I’m still a little rusty but the course didn’t punish for that.

Golfer from CT

Course was ok. Some of the greens could use a bit of TLC. Stayed for lunch but food was at best average. Suggest playing the course but going elsewhere for a bite to eat.

Not only did she serve the drinks she also acted as the marshal and spoke to the slow group ahead of us to get them to let us play through! Save us an hour at least!

Stay away

This course was in poor condition. The fairways were brown and burned out. The greens were extremely bumpy (and did not appear to be recently punched). Every one of the dogleg holes were almost identical (sand traps on the corner). The layouts for the dog left and dog right were the same.

Day after rain

The course was in great condition for just opening after a heavy rain for two days. It was cart path only and the greens were slow. But the course was remarkable for the conditions caused by weather. Great course great value
