Oldfield at Oldfield Club

The Oldfield Club sits in South Carolina's Lowcountry near Okatie, part of the greater Bluffton area between Hilton Head Island and Savannah. Greg Norman designed the course, which opened in the mid-2000s as the centerpiece of a residential community. Norman's routing takes advantage of the region's characteristic flat terrain, incorporating natural wetlands, tidal marshes, and mature live oaks draped with Spanish moss that define the Lowcountry aesthetic.

The layout emphasizes strategic options rather than forced carries, with wide fairways that reward positioning and thoughtful angles into greens. Norman incorporated waste areas and native grasses throughout, creating a visual contrast with the manicured playing surfaces. Water comes into play on several holes, reflecting the property's proximity to tidal waterways, though the design generally allows ground-game approaches where the terrain permits. The greens feature subtle undulation appropriate to the flat landscape, demanding precise distance control on approach shots.

Oldfield operates as a private club serving its residential community, with amenities that include additional recreational facilities beyond golf. The club reflects the lifestyle orientation common to Lowcountry developments, where golf integrates with social and family programming. The course provides members with a Norman design that respects the regional landscape while offering a playable test across different skill levels, typical of his work in resort and residential settings during this period.
