Oyster Reef shouldn’t be played from the tips unless you’re a scratch player or better since it’s 7,108 yards with a 74.5 rating. The blue tees, 6,440 yards 71.9/124 rating/slope presents plenty of difficulty as well as the chance to score. From the blues, all of the par fives are birdie opportunities although there is plenty of trouble to watch for along the way. Eight of the par fours measure 400 yards or less, but all require accuracy off the tee to set up good approach shots.
The par threes are standouts, with two of them, eleven and sixteen, playing over water. The real start of the show, though, is the sixth hole, a 160-yard beauty that is one of the most-photographed holes on Hilton Head. The strongly contoured green is framed by magnificent live oaks with Port Royal Sound in the background and sculptured bunkers in the front. Before you take your tee shot, be sure to pause for some visual nourishment for your soul.
