About
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.

Golfer Reviews
More pluses than minuses
Fun course to play, great layout. Pace of play extremely slow. Too many slow players on the course. Lacking on course beverage cart. Golf staff great…ba/tavern staff need to clean house. Terribly rude and zero customer service.
High price for recovering greens
Nice layout the course bag guy was rude rest of the staff was very pleasant green still healing from aeration and rates were very expensive still I guess that’s what you get in the summertime in Hilton Head. I’ve played the course before and I will probably play it again.
Disappointed
Played in Father’s Day and was last day of aeration recovery. Our 8:20 tee time did not start until 8:35… sad so backed up so early. Most greens were not even close to recovery and were very slow. We paid $75 and were glad that we did not pay $135 normal fee. The course layout was tight with many trees lining course which made it an additional challenge. The staff was friendly and the practice area was very good (unlimited practice balls and good chipping and putting). Really kinda non-descript course and not really pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately would not play again. Had higher hopes with previous reviews.
My wife, son, and I had a fantastic time. Staff was friendly and Bob the starter was fantastic. We will definitely play this course again on our next trip to Hilton Head.
Enjoyable round
Played Friday morning 6/17. 1st time off at 6:36am
Greens had been punched on 6/4 and were still pretty sandy.
I think the layout is pretty straight forward with reasonably tight fairways. Some interesting par threes over water.
Fairways and tee boxes in good condition and I think I paid a fair rate for the round
Staff was great and I would recommend for the average vacation golfer.
Nice course but no no water stations
Played in 93 degree heat and no water on the course. Beautiful course and will probably be back.
the course was just punched but playable,
pace of play very slow
very hot day and no beverage cart
not good experience
Very Average
Best thing one can say about this course is the friendliness of the staff. Overall the course is not in very good shape. The greens are full of sand, the tee boxes are spotty at best. The fairways and bunkers are in decent shape.
It took me 5 hours to play and I played mid week and mid day. There were no rangers out.
There are better options for my golf dollar in Hilton Head. I would not recommend this course at this time.
