Legends Golf Resort Oyster Bay

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Oyster Bay?

We find late spring-early summer (April-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the ideal conditions at Oyster Bay. The weather is fantastic, and the course's marshland features really pop, though you'll share the fairways with more golfers during these popular windows. If you visit in summer, expect the heat and humidity to be a significant factor in your round.

What makes Oyster Bay unique compared to other courses in the Myrtle Beach area?

Oyster Bay truly stands out with its lowcountry marshland aesthetic and those distinctive oyster shell bunkers. You'll find a challenging but fair layout that demands thoughtful shot placement, especially around the numerous water hazards and waste areas. It's a course that feels genuinely different from the typical parkland designs you often encounter in the region.

Is Oyster Bay a difficult course, and what kind of golfer will enjoy it most?

Oyster Bay offers a fair challenge, but it's not overly punishing if you play smart. The course rewards accuracy over brute strength, so golfers who can control their irons and manage their way around water will really appreciate it. Expect strategic demands, especially on the back nine where water comes into play frequently.

What are the must-play holes or signature features at Oyster Bay?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 17th and par-5 18th - they are fantastic finishing holes with water everywhere. The course is also famous for its island green on the par-3 13th, which is a true test of nerve and club selection. Keep an eye out for the alligators; they're often sunning themselves near the water hazards, adding to the lowcountry charm.

What should I know about the overall value or experience when booking a round at Oyster Bay?

Oyster Bay generally offers excellent value, especially if you book it as part of a Legends Golf Resort package. You'll find the course conditions consistently good, and the staff is always welcoming and efficient, making for a smooth day. It's a premium experience without the premium price tag you might expect for such a unique and well-maintained track.
