Old South Golf Links
About
The 18-hole Old South Golf Links in Bluffton, S.C. is a public course that opened in 1991. Designed by Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links measures 6,772 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 129 and a 72.4 USGA rating. The course features four sets of tees for different skill levels.
Johnston designed Old South Golf Links in keeping with the beautiful Lowcountry's natural landscape. "Old South Golf Links was designed not only to provide an enjoyable yet challenging golf game, but also to preserve the natural beauty of the land," he said. "I felt that this was an opportunity to allow the golfer to experience up close the uniqueness of the site, its natural amenities and spectacular views."
The variety of the setting from oak forest to open pasture to tidal salt marsh, provided an opportunity to vary the design elements and strategy of play.
Old South Golf Links is open to the public seven days a week. There is a clubhouse, restaurant and full-line pro shop on site.

View from the 17th tee at Old South Photo submitted by Harenb on 11/18/2013
This course was below expectations
The pace of play was very slow - almost 5 hours and some of dog leg holes were hokey - over extended penalty areas with limited landing opportunities. The staff was great but we will not return.
We regret to hear you were not pleased with your round at Old South. Most enjoy the variety and challenge of our layout and the spectacular scenery.
Early round
Got off as a single before my tee time. Two players joined up with me and we had a great time. Two or three funky holes on the back nine but otherwise a very nice layout. The greens are not heavily bunkered. Nice driving range and putting green. I play again.
It's great to hear you enjoyed your day of golf at Old South and we are glad to hear you will be back!
Old South
Only problem
S were very slow greens and the course design has some areas that slow the pace of play.
We appreciate the 4 star review.
Old South is always on our Playlist when at Hilton Head.
Thanks for the 5 stars and for keeping Old South on your list of "must play" courses.
Awesome course at a fair price
With this course being located in Bluffton and not on Hilton Head Island the price was significantly less than those on the island which were $200 or more.
The course was just as nice or better than a lot of the more expensive ones and in great shape for early April. It reminded me of some of the nicer ones in upstate, finger lakes region of New York. The layout was challenging and the greens were very playable. Staff was more than accommodating and made you feel welcome from the start. The food in the restaurant was delicious too.
I will definitely be back again.
Old South is a fun course and a great value. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your day of golf and hope you have time for another round.
Beautiful Natural Setting
The course is easy to get to from the Bluffton Parkway. The layout weaves its way through woods, water & marshland. OSL is in good shape & fun to play. Friendly & professional staff. Typically good pace of play.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments and for mentioning our great staff. We hope to see you back at Old South soon.
Great place to play
Generous fairway landing areas. Greens were rolling true and not too fast. Overall conditions were good for this time of year.
We appreciate your comments and the 5 stars. We hope to see you at Old South again for another round.
