Oyster Reef Golf Course

Staff and amenities were great. Kevin, pro shop, deserves a significant atta-boy for welcoming attitude, helpful instruction on how to access the course and range. Greens were well kept but speed was inconsistent and the fairways need significant water and grass was very patchy in much of the fairways. Ricky was hustling and very attentive during our post-round dinner/cocktails.

We had a 436 T-Time. My husband and I can easily play in 4 hours. We made the turn at 630. Waited every hole on the front 9. After 9 holes the Ranger told us we wouldn't be able to finish the round and to have the carts back to the clubhouse by 8 pm. There were 5 groups ahead of us, each having 6 players. We passed them all as we headed back to the club house. They were all still playing. We were able to get 4 holes in when we hit the other groups. It's a nice course with a great restaurant. We visit Hilton Head at least twice a year. Not sure if we will go back.

Oyster is one of my favorite courses to play. I come here in late April and it's not really summer conditions just yet. All of the island is begging for rain. The course was dry and hard in the fairway, but the greens were in great condition. If you haven't played down here before, you have to remember that you're at sea level and the club you're used to using at 150 yards won't be enough. It pays to be smart out here. A bogey score on some holes is not necessarily a negative. Trying to be a hero will cost you strokes. Sand traps are plentiful and hitting out of them is like trying to hit your ball out of a bowl of sugar. If you can keep your ball in play off the tee and can make 10 foot putts, you will be happy with your score at the end of the day. A good short game pays big dividends out here.

I was very excited to play this course with many positive comments from friends. For the amount charged, I was very disappointed in the fairways, and their lack of grass .

Front nine was not in good shape, fairways were bare, and we were told to tee off on back nine yet price per play was not adjusted.

Played late afternoon , staff was friendly, enjoyed the layout. Greens were in good condition, but honestly the fairways were in very poor condition with very little grass on most of the fairways. If I had paid the prime time rate, I would have been quite disappointed due to the fairways.

Very enjoyable day !

Layout is fantastic bunker placements were good locations .

The only down side was the grass in the fairways was very sparse .

The greens were in great shape but the speed was slower than I would like but rolled true !

I will be back to play it again .

Absolutely loved the layout of this course. Every hole was interesting. Signature hole was fun. I would make this my go to course for Hilton Head. The tee boxes and the greens were great. But the fairways really needed some work. Very thin. Maybe it was just a little early for growth. And the driving range was not good. Very torn up. But really I will play this course again.

I played on an almost perfect day, so my perception is a little skewed. The course was in good condition and the greens were in even better shape. The layout is enjoyable and only the greens really require some precision. I will definitely return.

Need to pay better attention to pace of play. 5 hour round. Greens were gr8….. most fairways need to be more green, no totally bare spots. Enjoyed and had fun and will go back.
