The Oyster Reef Club

The Oyster Reef Golf Club, one of the best golf courses on Hilton Head Island SC, was first opened during 1982 and the unique qualities it contained were instantly recognized.

The local golfing community embraced Oyster Reef with open arms, and it was attracting national attention as well. The Oyster Reef Golf Club is a member of the Heritage Group of Hilton Head SC golf courses.

The course was quickly selected as one of America’s Top 25 New Courses by Golf Digest magazine. It was only right that Oyster Reef Golf Club would land among the top choices for golfers because it was designed by Rees Jones who was known as one of the greatest of all golf architects.

This Rees Jones Hilton Head Island golf course was given 4 stars by Golf Digest and last year was placed on the 2008-2009 Golf Digest list naming the “Best Places to Play” for best golf vacations. The Oyster Reef Golf Club has also been chosen as one of the Top 20 Courses available to players in either North or South Carolina.

This spectacular Hilton Head SC golf setting extends over 190 acres of lush, natural beauty with a pure Low Country backdrop. The Oyster Reef Golf Club is well known for some of the most scenic views of Port Royal Sound.

A round of golf that involves 18 holes will take golfers through forests and around deep, clear lagoons. The 6th hole is a par 3 and it is the signature hole for Oyster Reef. This hole that overlooks the Port Royal sound is also the most frequently photographed golf feature for any Hilton Head Island golf course.

Golfers will find that this Hilton Head SC golf course is expertly maintained at all times which increases its playability. There are gently rolling greens and large fairways that are wide enough to allow for an errant ball or two.

The bunkers at Oyster Reef Golf Club add extra challenge to the game and all of these are strategically well placed. The water hazards along the entire course should be worked around with care and caution because this is where you will lose some valuable strokes if you rush your shots. Golf courses on Hilton Head are known for their water hazards.

At the Oyster Reef Golf Club every player can enjoy the friendly atmosphere both on and off this Hilton Head Island golf course. There is a comfortable, inviting Clubhouse that gives everyone a chance to relax during the day. That’s what best golf vacations are all about!

The Clubhouse features a golf shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms and informal dining at the bar and grill. Visitors are welcomed as warmly as regular members, and all of the staff will take the time to make sure that everyone feels right at home. Golf courses on Hilton Head don’t get any better than this one.
