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.

Nice greens
Not bad for early in the season. Will be better when grass and foliage returns. Greens were great. Only complaint is we never saw the beverage cart once during the entire round.

Solid course
Solid course for Hilton head. A bit overpriced in my opinion but a good track with some nice holes. Worth putting into the HH rotation but there are better courses around the price or cheaper in my opinion
