Course Overview

“We prefer to work with the natural contours and vegetation of the land rather than force the golf course design on it,” – Clyde Johnston

Designed by renowned architect Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links is a testament to thoughtful integration with the environment. By working with the natural contours and vegetation of the land, rather than imposing artificial features, this approach ensures that each hole offers a unique experience, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding environment.

This philosophy is evident throughout the course, where fairways gracefully wind through towering live oaks, open pastures, and tidal salt marshes. Golfers are treated to diverse landscapes and strategic play, with each hole presenting a unique challenge that complements the site’s natural features.

Notably, holes like the par-four 7th, featuring an island fairway and green, and the par-four 16th, with its secluded tee boxes and two-tiered island green, showcase Johnston’s commitment to preserving the land’s inherent beauty while offering innovative design elements.

Old South Golf Links is proud to be GEO Certified, an internationally recognized distinction for sustainability in golf. Additionally, the course has earned its Certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, reinforcing our commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible golf course management.

Experience first-hand how Old South Golf Links embodies a design that honors the environment, providing a golfing adventure that is as visually stunning as it is enjoyable to play offering a dynamic and engaging golfing experience.
