About Old South Golf Links
Old South Golf Links sits in Bluffton, South Carolina, just across the bridge from Hilton Head Island. The public course was designed by architect Clyde Johnston and offers golf in a distinctly Lowcountry setting.
The layout moves through rolling terrain shaded by mature live oaks, with island greens that look out over the intracoastal marshes of McKay's Creek. The natural landscape supplies much of the course's character and challenge.
