Oyster Reef Golf Club
Oyster Reef Golf Club, designed in 1982 by Rees Jones, embodies golf on Hilton Head Island: Tree-choked doglegs interspersed with dastardly bunkers.
Oyster Reef plays more than 7,000 yards from the tips, giving any golfer plenty to handle. Keeping with tradition, it's seeded entirely with bermuda to provide club-grabbing rough and true, fast greens.
There's a reason Oyster Reef often lands on the lists of must-play golf courses.
