About Old South Golf Links

Old South Golf Links in Bluffton is a hidden gem of the Lowcountry golf scene — a Clyde Johnston design that winds through a stunning tapestry of live oaks, lagoons, tidal marshes, and ancient palmetto groves just minutes from Hilton Head Island. Unlike the pricey resort courses across the bridge, Old South offers a genuine championship experience at a fraction of the cost, making it one of the best value rounds in all of coastal South Carolina. The course's back nine culminates in a dramatic stretch along the May River marsh, with sweeping tidal views that rival anything on the island itself. It's a course that rewards locals who know it well and consistently surprises first-time visitors.

History

Old South Golf Links opened in 1991, designed by Clyde Johnston to take full advantage of the Bluffton area's extraordinary natural landscape. Johnston's vision was to let the land dictate the routing, resulting in a course that feels entirely organic and unspoiled. Over three decades, Old South has built a devoted following among Hilton Head-area visitors and locals who recognize it as one of the Lowcountry's finest and most authentic golf experiences.

Value-savvy golfers who want genuine Lowcountry beauty and championship challenge without paying resort island prices.
