Old Tabby Golf Links

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time of year to play Old Tabby Golf Links?

We've found the sweet spot for Old Tabby is typically late fall through early spring, from October to April. You'll avoid the intense summer humidity and enjoy more comfortable temperatures, making those marsh-side holes much more pleasant. Plus, the course conditions are usually at their absolute best during these months.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Old Tabby, and are there any must-play holes?

The biggest challenge here is definitely the wind, which can shift dramatically and make club selection tricky, especially on holes exposed to the sound. Don't miss the par-3 14th; it's a stunning carry over a tidal marsh that demands precision and offers incredible views. The finishing stretch, starting from 16, is also a memorable test.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Old Tabby, and is it worth the investment?

Expect green fees to be in the upper tier, typically ranging from $250-$350 depending on the season and time of day. While it's a significant investment, we absolutely believe it's worth it for the pristine conditions, unique Lowcountry design, and the overall exclusive experience. This isn't just a round of golf- it's an immersion into the landscape.

How does Old Tabby Golf Links stand out from other Lowcountry courses?

Old Tabby truly distinguishes itself by its deep integration with the natural environment and subtle historical touches. Unlike some more manicured resort courses, you'll find ancient tabby ruins subtly incorporated into the landscape, giving it a distinct historical feel that's unique to this region. The course feels less like a development and more like a part of the land itself.

What practical tips do you have for planning a day at Old Tabby, especially for out-of-towners?

Book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend or prime season slot; this isn't a course where you can just show up. We also recommend arriving at least an hour early to take advantage of the excellent practice facilities and soak in the atmosphere of the historic clubhouse before your round. Bring bug spray if you're playing in warmer months- the marsh is beautiful but active.
