The Golf Experience at Old South
Golf along the beautiful tidal marshes of the Hilton Head area
In the Hilton Head area, Old South Golf Links is regarded by local residents as a favorite year after
year. Since 1992, golfers continue to be attracted to the natural beauty of lowcountry golf, a
Clyde Johnston design. Just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island, vacationers regularly make
the short trip to Bluffton to relax amid towering live oaks and commune with abundant wildlife
along rolling terrain while soaking in magnificent views from the island greens abutting the intracoastal waterways. Come and enjoy a day at Old South Golf Links, recognized by Golf Digest as one
of the "Top Ten New Public Courses" of 1992.
