One of the finest golf courses in the beautiful Low Country of South Carolina is situated in Hilton Head Plantation on Hilton Head Island. Opened in 1982, it was immediately recognized as one of the top 25 new courses in America, a tribute to nationally acclaimed course designer, Rees Jones. Jones took complete advantage of the natural features of the land, transforming low areas into beautiful lagoons and creating magnificent tree-lined corridors from tee to green. Mr. Jones said, "I designed Oyster Reef to be a beautiful, strategically challenging course with fairness in mind on each of its 18 holes. I also felt it important that a golfer should never cease to enjoy playing Oyster Reef."Since 1982, golfers have attested not only to the fairness of Oyster Reef, but also to the subtle difficulties that make it a challenge every time it's played. With a respectable number of bunkers, dog legs, water and other natural hazards, Oyster Reef provides a reasonable test of skill for every handicap level.In addition to its 190 acres of scenic natural beauty and challenging layout, Oyster Reef also enjoys the enviable reputation of being one of the best maintained golf courses on Hilton Head. Playable twelve months a year, Oyster Reef is truly an island favorite. Oyster Reef's spectacular 18-hole championship course features a challenging layout surrounded by beautiful lagoons, lush vegetation and scenic views of Port Royal Sound. Numerous bunkers, dog-legs, water hazards and other subtle difficulties add to the thrill of this unforgettable golf experience. Beyond the greens, members and guests relax and unwind in the beauty of the clubhouse, which offers fine and casual dining, a grill room, men's and ladies' locker rooms and a complete golf shop.

Players can practice their swings on indoor simulator or during private lessons with video analysis

Designed by award winning course architect, Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links is a tribute to man working within nature's fragile guidelines. Not only did Johnston preserve the natural beauty of the land, his design allows golfers to experience up close the uniqueness of the site, it's natural amenities and spectacular views. As Johnston himself so aptly put it, "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." Guests and critics alike have been raving about Johnston's work since the beginning when Old South was selected by Golf Digest as one of the "top ten new public courses " Featuring towering live oaks, rolling Scottish terrain and magnificent views from island greens, Old South has truly become a Lowcountry favorite.The sixteenth hole at Old South is one of the most challenging and picturesque par 4's in the Lowcountry. With the tee boxes tucked back in the woods, the green is hidden from view on this long dogleg left. The landing area lies 220 yards from the championship tee box and is hemmed in on three sides with trouble. Short or left is wet, long is in the trees and a shot to the right, although usually playable, will require a long iron to the green. A great drive to the middle of the landing area leaves a player with a 170 yard second shot over the salt marsh again to the magnificent two-tiered island green, beyond the green lies a grand view of the intracoastal waterway and Hilton Head Island. Many matches are won or lost on this hole, where even the best players would gladly take par and move on.

GREAT GOLF AT NEW LOWER RATES! Owned and operated by The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort, the award-winning course is renowned for its challenging layout amongst ancient forests, vast salt marshes, dramatic island holes and comfortable clubhouse overlooking the vast lake that adds to the challenge of the course’s 9th hole. With its warm and welcoming clubhouse and exceptional staff, the King and Prince Golf Course is the perfect location for your next coastal Georgia golf vacation. Originally designed by renowned architect Joe Lee, the King and Prince Golf Course's signature is the group of four spectacular holes gently carved from small coastal marsh islands and accessed by 800-feet of elevated cart bridges. This bold and brilliant design marks the highlight of the back nine, but Lee’s genius extends through the entire 18-hole, Par 72 course as it bends around towering oaks, along large areas of salt marshes, and across lakes and lagoons. Over the years, the commitment to enhance the premier golf experience at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort has remained the highest priority. That commitment is behind the investment in the extensive course restoration project completed in October 2009 that dramatically renewed and restored the King and Prince Golf Course, home of the Hampton Club. With all that in mind, the Resort turned to Billy Fuller as the course architect and Medalist Golf as the builder to create a truly great golf experience. Mr. Fuller has served as course superintendent for Augusta National and his vision was to enhance the original design by Joe Lee. All 18 greens have mini-verde, ultra dwarf Bermuda grass, with 60" green collars planted with Tifsport Bermuda. All 18 fairways have a new hybrid; Celebration Bermuda grass. An extraordinary Practice Facility is open and includes a 6500 sq ft mini-verde putting green, a 3000 sq ft mini-verde chipping green and five target greens have been added to the driving range.
