Nice course. Greens will maintaind. Fairways a little space. Winter conditions. Not enough functional golf carts. Need to add to the fleet

Played here in late January and I’m glad I chose this course. Mainly what brought me to this course were the reviews and it’s rating! And they were right! The restaurant the drinks free range balls, I was very happy I chose this course and will definitely be back.

Oyster Reef Golf Club offers the best value on Hilton Head Island. The course was breathtaking. Pristine fairways, perfectly rolled and speedy greens, with a layout that punishes the uncalculating shot. I’d tried other courses and their greens were painfully slow in late September. I’d reckon the greens at Oyster Reef Golf Club were the fastest publicly-available greens on the island at that time. You will not find a bunker with too little sand on the course. From the blue tees, this course is punishing. To play well here, it’s exceptionally important to question driver off of the tee. This is a “plodders” golf course through and through.

I was a bit disappointed playing Oyster Reef. We took a later tee time (3:16) so my Wife’s pace of play wouldn’t hold anyone up. Bag drop and check in at the clubhouse went well and the pro shop staff was friendly. The greens were rough. I asked before making the tee time what kind of shape the course was in and I was assured it was great. The greens were like putting on sand paper - possibly the slowest non-punched/sanded greens I’ve ever played and coverage was sparse. There was no starter/ranger, the range was closed, tips not set, and no beverage cart running. Additionally, our cart started to die on 15 and no one was available to answer the call in the clubhouse. Thankfully a member of the bar staff I called was able to locate the cart attendant and get a new cart out to us. For $95 twilight, I wasn’t expecting Harbour Towne but certainly was expecting a bit nicer conditions. Maybe the experience is different with earlier tee times.

I dont write reviews very often but felt the need to do this one for my experience at Oyster Reef. Arrival experience, the staff, clubhouse, all good. They were on schedule for our tee time and the starter was great by giving us an introduction to the course. The course is a decent layout, with tee boxes and fairways in great shape. The problem was the greens. Although, they looked great, they performed terribly. For almost a $100 green fee, you expect better, much better. They were so slow, you could actually hear the ball roll. It made for a frustrating round for me and my playing partner. There is no excuse for this on a course were expectations are higher.

Fun course in great condition. The greens are slower than expected, and lots of gravel in the bunkers. Make sure the greens are rolled before you play or youll leave a lot short.

Great course....5 stars even though the range was closed.....greens were awesome....so was everything else.

If you dont mind poor customer service and slow play, this course is for you. The course is nice but, the service and pace is terrible. This is the only course that took more than 5 hours to play which really made it less enjoyable. When we called about the slow play, we were hung up on!!

Course is awesome! Staff from parking lot to club house to starter we extremely courteous and welcoming!

Beautiful course, nice 9 and dine package, cant wait to come back next year!

Course is in great shape. Was a fun day

Terrible customer service.Pro shop quoted a tee time at a specific rate and then reneged after calling back to confirm.Staff representative was rude, unprofessional and took zero accountability in upholding their commitment.

Excellent golf course, except they had aerated earlier this week. The greens were kind of a mess. I would have given them 5 stars otherwise.

AMAZING NEW BUNKERS!AMAZING TECHNICAL FUN COURSE!AMAZING WATER VIEWS!AMAZING STAFF!LOVE HOLES: #15-#17ILL BE BACK 4 SURE!(Both Brians in the pro shop & the starter couldnt be nicer!)5 STARS

Very nice course, was not told the greens were aerated couple weeks ago they were sandy and slow.

The course was in great shape!

Great course!! Beautiful greens

Amazing course! The only course on Hilton Head that I play Everytime Im here.

Fantastic experience. I was a little wary as some reviews mentioned questionable conditions. But this course was in fantastic shape. The greens were immaculate. Rolling absolutely true. Yes, there was some signs of post hurricane repair still being done but that was minor. So great on-the-course experience and loved the layout. But where Oyster Reef really shined for me was the service. From the moment I stepped on the property, I was treated like a member by the very attentive staff. All of my interactions with folks working here were memorable in the most positive sense. There are better layouts of course and higher end clubhouse amenities, but overall I must give 5 stars based on the complete experience today. Cant wait to come back.

This course is an exceptional value given the well planned design. The course condition for November was excellent, greens rolled true and the entire staff from Pro shop to Restaurant were great. Our group will be back.

With great upkeep, a really strong design and a most pleasing woodland environment, where the real estate is not intrusive, Oyster Reef is a joy to play and an excellent test of your golfing skills. Apart from the two back-nine par-3s, water is not a major issue here, but negotiating the significant green-side bunkering and the large, slick, superbly maintained greens, will determine whether you score well or not.To visitors this is perhaps one of the lesser known names on Hilton Heads golfing panoply, but its definitely one of the Islands finest pearls.

Great course. Lots of dog legs, and bunkers. The staff was great. I would recommend bringing some bug spray as the mosquitoes were crazy on a few holes. Had a blast, and hole 6 is beautiful, looking out over the ocean.

Greens were true & quick. Many Fairways were narrow ... Many many sand traps placed just about perfectly to catch every miss-hit. But a very good course

We loved our round at Oyster Reef! The staff across the board was courteous and attentive. The course was challenging and fun. We loved the Happy hour at the Lagerhead tavern

Played 6/2/2014, course in average shape at best. There are six or seven very good holes and the rest are a little mundane. The back nine was in much better condition and also had a very tough finishing two holes. The hotel we were staying at had a deep discount which made it acceptable, if I had paid full price would have been quite upset.

Fun

Delicious food. Best EVER fried green tomatoes!!! Chef personally came to our table and gave us his reccomendations...Will absolutely return. Fish tacos and chicken picatta were also yummy!

Great course and best service on the island so far

Had a great day! Golf course in great shape! I really injoyed the day! With two friends.

Beautiful course! Great staff and well maintained greens. A few challenging holes and beautiful throughout. This course is what I see when I think of Hilton Head golf!

Went as a foursome with other local players who belong to a private club on the island. We all remarked how nicely the course is designed and what great condition the fairways and greens are in. Its clearly one of the islands most scenic courses and #6 is as pretty as a picture. Fairways are wide but well bunkered, while most of the greens are heavily bunkered and some have deep bunkers - so bring your sand game. Only complaint is that a couple of bunkers had liners exposed and some had footprints not raked out by prior players... but for a public course Oyster Reef ranks right up there and is not to be missed.The newly renovated clubhouse is very attractive and has an extensive beer selection. Get the crab hush puppies - their fantastic and go absolutely great with a cold draft.

Good happy hour. Good choice of hors dorves. drink prices very good

Played here today and the course is in great shape. Greens are beautiful, large, and fast. Would recommend this course to all who visit Hilton Head. Great round for the price.

I played the course on October 7th, 2015 just days after heavy rains hit SC. The course and greens were in great shape. I dont know if the starter was having a bad day, but he was rude and inconsiderate to us as we were getting ready to head to the tee box as well as at the turn. I know they were probably heavily booked, but you should not treat your patrons this way.

Nice course and staff are very friendly and welcoming! Definitely want to play again.

Fantastic. Of the sister courses, this is the best. Great condition, great staff.
