Hilton Head National Golf Club

Bluffton, SC · 0.7 mi away

Old South Golf Links sits just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island in Bluffton, on land bordering the May River and its tidal marsh. Clyde Johnston designed it and it opened in 1991. The routing moves between Lowcountry marsh, pine woodland and river frontage, and the back nine in particular is exposed to water and wind. At a par of 72 and 6,772 yards it asks for angles managed around marsh carries rather than length. It remains one of the better-known Johnston layouts in the Lowcountry.

May River Golf Club at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina, is a Jack Nicklaus design that opened in 2004. It sits on a 20,000-acre preserve between the May and Cooper rivers, in a setting of live oaks, salt marsh and tidal creeks. The course was built with no cart paths, so the corridors read as continuous turf from tee to green, and the routing was laid out to protect the existing oak stands rather than clear them. Fairways are wide, the bunkering is sandy and shallow in places, and the greens are large. Several holes finish alongside the marsh with the river beyond. Walking with a caddie is the standard here, and pace and quiet are part of the experience. Access is for club members and guests of the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort.
