Oldfield, SC: Live in the Heart of Lowcountry Nature

Picturesque Lowcountry landscape, a lively social scene, and nature-centric living: this is Oldfield, one of the finest gated waterfront communities in South Carolina. Here, nature isn’t just the backdrop for living; it’s the focal point. This quality sets the community apart from its Bluffton neighbors. Oldfield residents enjoy upscale amenities, a variety of dining options, state-of-the-art golf opportunities, and countless other lifestyle benefits.

Life on the Water

Located on the Okatie River, Oldfield grants direct access to life on the water. Boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding are among the activities essentially in your own backyard. The Outfitters Center provides boat storage, equipment for fishing, and rentals for kayaking and paddleboarding. Group activities such as nature courses and fishing charters are also available for members, along with saltwater and freshwater aquariums to admire.

Nature at the Center of it All

Designated as one of eight Audubon Sustainable Communities in the nation, environmental preservation is an integral part of Oldfield. Stewardship and appreciation of the environment are in the very fabric of Oldfield, and residents play a direct role in this. A community garden, a wildflower garden with four beehives, and ongoing projects allow community members to participate in Oldfield’s stated mission.

With almost 10 miles of nature trails, there are countless opportunities for exploring the Lowcountry, including the river, ponds, marshes, and more. Sprawling trees, local wildlife, and diverse ecosystems are among the beauty to behold.

The Equestrian Center is yet another distinguishing feature of the community. The iconic red barn consists of 12 stalls and three tack rooms, among other luxuries. Here, members with horses have access to the boarding facilities, and those without can participate in riding lessons. The children and grandchildren of Oldfield members enjoy summer camps at the Equestrian Center, with opportunities for horseback riding and learning about farm life.

Upscale Amenities, the Lowcountry Way

Options for dining, entertainment, and social activities are abundant in Oldfield. Whether you’re looking to join a club centered around your favorite hobby or swing by the Sports Club for a fitness class or a few laps around the heated pool, there’s something for everyone. Oldfield presents extensive opportunities for an active lifestyle, both outdoors and indoors.

The River Club serves as a central gathering place for Oldfield residents, with fine dining and a panoramic view of the Okatie River. This charming and historic dining experience showcases the best of the Lowcountry, from its views of the marsh to its classic Southern cuisine. The Magnolia Grill in the Oldfield Clubhouse offers a casual dining experience, suitable for grabbing lunch after a morning of golf or dinner with friends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, members enjoy special dinner events. While you don’t have to leave the bounds of Oldfield to indulge in fine dining, the neighborhood grants close proximity to upscale restaurants in the surrounding Bluffton area.

The Oldfield Golf Course is a well-maintained private club designed by Greg Norman. The 7,133-yard course with riverfront views offers a noteworthy and beautiful game. As one of the top private golf communities in Bluffton, the course is just as pristine as the rest of the neighborhood’s offerings. In keeping with the community’s emphasis on nature, oak trees are located all around the course, providing a tranquil setting – but requiring a precise game. Those who are up to the challenge will find Norman’s course invigorating and breathtaking.
