About the course

Why golfers play Oyster Bay Golf Links

Oyster Bay Golf Links in Sunset Beach, NC is a Dan Maples design from 1983 and a Myrtle Beach favorite for more than 40 years. The par 70 plays under 6,400 yards, yet cavernous bunkers and undulating greens produce a slope of 133 and a course rating of 72.3, a fair test for mid handicappers that does not overwhelm higher handicaps from the forward tees. Golf Digest once named it Best New Resort Course of the Year. Add it to a Sunset Beach or Calabash golf package for the round the group talks about at dinner.

“Need refurbishing”

Ott · Villanova
★★★★★

“Complimentary breakfast/lunch was great. Tee boxes not in good shape”

Romanelli · Levittown
★★★★★

“Layout a 5, greens a 1...understanding how dry it has been, these greens need a complete overhaul”

Benney · Charlotte
★★★★★

“Greens and fairways were good but tee boxes and cart paths were poor. Also outside of fairways the course is in poor condition. Staff were friendly and food was good.”

Ted · Levittowm
★★★★★

“Greens were in below average condition. They start groups on split tees which resulted in huge backups on the course. Cart guys and marshals were impolite. Tons of alligators to see on course.”

Dustin · Knoxville
★★★★★

“Course condition for the price was not favorable cart paths very rough, greens and surrounding areas in tough condition. A lot of gators which is cool to see.”

Justin · Abingdon
★★★★★

“Cart paths were in terrible condition. No markings at the holes. No directions to where the next hole is. Can be very confusing for first time players at that course.”

John · Ottawa
★★★★★

“Course was good, would play again. BUT, WILL NEVER PLAY it again. Rangers were absolute A..holes. Threatening to force me to jump forward a hole when we were hole and a half ahead. Both rangers were d..cks from the start.”
