Oyster Bay Golf Links, in Sunset Beach near Calabash, N.C., opened in 1983, a precursor to the Grand Strand's first true, golf course building boom.
Oyster Bay Golf Links, another classic creation by Developer Larry Young and Architect Dan Maples, is a rare blend of the various philosophies of golf course architecture.
Oyster Bay is one of the most beautiful and diversified courses to be found anywhere. It is located in Sunset Beach, NC just minutes North of its predecessor, Marsh Harbour.
"The real story is that Oyster Bay is still one of the must-plays of Myrtle Beach," a TravelGolf.com reviewer said. "The haunting layout on the shores of Twin Lakes has a collection of holes that are as well-conceived and scenery-soaked as any in the Grand Strand."
The par-70 course is just under 6,700 yards and has two island green par 3s. The course does show some signs of its age, including the clubhouse, the range with its beat-up ball machine, and the greens are old-fashioned Bermuda known for being slow.

- I have played this course several years ago and could not wait to return, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! First they overcharged me a regular rate not member guest rate. The putting green was true and fast (Great). The greens on the course were just topped dressed and not watered in, they were so slow, not 1/4th the speed of the practice area. Started on#10. Fairways were scalped and thin with many bare areas, the only decent fairway was #9. All cart paths are in need of major repairs (replacement). I work at a golf course and would be embarrassed if our course was in this shape. I did not go to OB to see gators (nice) i went to golf some top notch golf courses. Great layout needs so much work, if it wasn't in the GOLF CAPITAL of the world, it would not get much play. I will never go back or recommend this course to friends anymore. for the rate you are charging this needs to be in top notch shape !!!! GK
