Old South Golf Links

Old South Golf Links is a Public 18 hole golf course located in Bluffton, South Carolina, just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island.

Old South Golf Links first opened for play in 1991. The course was designed by Clyde Johnston.

Old South Golf Links course was rated by "Golf Digest" as one of the top ten new public courses in the country for 1992. The constant change of terrain, from an oak forest to open pastures, then to tidal marshes provided an opportunity for the designer to vary the characteristic elements of each hole and requires excellent course management by the golfer in order to score low. This course features a marsh on the front holes, three island greens, towering live oaks, rolling Scottish terrain and a low-country-style clubhouse.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6772 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 4776 yards. The longest hole on the course is #14, a par-5 that plays to 555 yards. The shortest hole on the course is #8, a par-3 that plays to 160 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for #6, a 397 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole at the Old South Golf Links. The easiest hole is #11, a 185 yard par-3. The signature hole is #16, a 417-yard, par 4, requiring a shot over water to an island green.
