On this straightaway, mid-length par 4, live oaks guard the left side of the fairway. The lake on the right can come into play on your second shot. Two large, steep-faced bunkers guard the front of this green, requiring a high, soft approach. This opening test is a dramatic preview of what lies ahead. Environmental Info: A natural corridor system has been maintained throughout the golf course, providing avenues of travel for our vast array of wildlife.
A looking waste bunker lines the left side, shrinking the already tight fairway on this slight dogleg left. With a lake left and bunker fronting the green, your second shot is a trued forced carry. Approaches that miss the bail-out area on the right leaves a creative up and down to a smallish green.
One of four outstanding par 3’s, this picturesque hole is framed by magnificent live oaks and the marsh backdrop of Mainland Creek. You must carry the wetland and it’s best to avoid the sizeable bunker on the right. This may be the shortest hole on the course, but it is one of Oldfield’s finest. Environmental Info: The natural wetland that runs in front of the trees and along the left side of the hole provides habitat and feeding grounds for a great diversity of wildlife. Behind the green, a portion of one of our many nature trails is visible.
This long, straightaway par 5 has numerous obstacles to overcome. With two bunkers to the right of the landing area and a live oak farther down the fairway on the right, an errant tee ball or second shot could find trouble. On the approach, you’ll face two sod-walled bunkers protecting a shallow green.
From the back tee, hit your best tee shot over the large lake. Your second shot requires not only accuracy but length to reach this peninsula green surrounded by water back and right and a deep bunker on the right.
This short, narrow par 4 has a lateral hazard left and out-of-bounds right. Go with a fairway wood or long iron off the tee. Your second shot must avoid the live oak front left and the devilish bunker front right. The hole location on this deep green can make up to a three-club difference on the approach.
Environmental Information: The left side of this hole is defined by a protected natural area. The wildlife found in this area includes foxes, white-tailed deer, fox squirrels, and a diverse population of birds including Wild Turkeys, Wood Storks, and Tricolored Herons.
Beautiful live oaks, red oaks, dogwoods, and other hardwoods frame this scenic par 3. A long iron or fairway wood will reach this slightly elevated green guarded by a deep bunker front left. There is plenty of bail-out room to the right. This green’s depth and the extended chipping apron will test your short game.
Long hitters can reach this par 5 in two, but most players will have a wedge to a small but receptive green. Your tee shot must carry the lake to a landing area squeezed by another waste bunker along the entire left side and two fairway bunkers on the right. Gorgeous live oaks, gorgeous golf!
Majestic live oaks line the fairway on this very demanding dogleg right par 4. This is the only hole without a bunker. Out-of-bounds guards the left side. You’ll need your two best “blows” to reach this green. Better have your wedge ready for a good ole fashion chip and putt, because you might need it.
Bending slightly right, this medium-length par 4 has a lateral hazard down the left side and a sizeable waste bunker to the right of the landing area. Bunkers guard the front right and left sides of this green so it’s best to be long if you must miss it.
This par 5 begins the links-style section of the back nine. With a tee shot over the marsh, long hitters can reach this green in two. Mere mortals must negotiate the bunker left and Duck Pond right. Your short Iron approach is to a green framed by live oaks, bunkers, and marsh.
The smart play off the tee on Oldfield’s shortest par 4 is a mid-to-long iron to a tight landing area framed by a lateral hazard left and water right. Big hitters can drive the green with a perfect tee shot. The short approach is to a well-bunkered green surrounded by water.
This challenging par 3 requires a solid, long-iron tee shot to carry the lake and greenside bunker. There is an ample bail-out area to the right, so after a slice, you still have a chance for par. However, a shot from that large collection area makes for an interesting up and down.
This demanding par 4 typically plays into the prevailing wind and may be the toughest hole on the back nine, requiring distance and accuracy. Your tee shot must carry the lake and avoid the pecan trees and bunker left. A long iron second shot must negotiate bunkers protecting the entrance to a smallish green.
This medium-length par 4 usually plays downwind and calls for a straight tee shot as pecan trees frame the landing area. The second shot is the key to this hole. The wide but shallow green is fronted by two large bunkers, requiring a soft, high approach.
Arguably the most scenic hole on the course, this par 3 requires an accurate tee shot over a lake to a green surrounded by live oak trees. Often a roosting spot for shore birds, this hole offers views eastward of the marsh river. The forward tees are located greenside, just to the left of the cart path.
Accuracy off the tee is critical on this short, slightly uphill, dogleg left par 4 as live oaks and out-of-bounds guard the right side. The elevated green has two deep bunkers in front and a large apron back left. After a good tee shot, the short iron approach should give you a real birdie opportunity.
Oldfield’s finishing hole is a long, three-shot par 5 masterpiece. With live oaks lining both sides of the fairway, this beautiful but demanding hole requires an accurate second shot, avoiding the trees left and the pond and bunker right. The 18th green offers up one last gorgeous vista of the Okatie River.
