About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6735 yards
Slope 135
Rating 73.4

The Galleon/Brigantine Course at Shipyard Golf Club combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses at the club. Galleon/Brigantine has a rating of 72.7, with a slope of 133 from the championship tees.

The original nine holes - Galleon - meander through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

Designed by Willard Byrd and built in 1982, alligators sun themselves along the scenic, water hazard-filled Brigantine nine holes. With slight doglegs and well-placed bunkers, this golf course requires shot making and a good short game.

Beat up bad

Fairways are really bad with many bare areas. Turf is hard as a rock like they haven't watered it in quite some time. Greens were good but also firm and hard to hold.

Staff and practice facilities nice

Fun course!

Everyone was friendly and course was in good condition for this time of year. Grass will be thicker soon as the heat and rain help. We play here most every time on our biannual boys golf trip. Greens were running well and gators were out! (my favorite part) Pace of play was great as we went out very early, but as most courses in HHI, the pace slows after lunch.

Disappointing

Staff was very friendly and nice.

Told marshall would help manage pace. Never saw marshall. Saw cart person on hole 3 and 18. Pace was at 4.5 hrs. Fairways were 75% grass. Practice green way nicer/faster than course greens. Nice layout and fair. I would like to give a better review but would be lying.

Galleon/clipper

Overall pretty good value. Pace was good, greens rolled good, some were a bit bumpy from all the play.

Not worth the money

fairways were poor and the course layout was unremarkable. I expected way more for $125.

Slow pace of play

Pace of play was fine for the first six holes. Holes 7 through 9 took an hour. Ultimately got disgusting and left, abandoning the last few holes, as the pace of play continued to drag. Riding back to the clubhouse I found that three consecutive holes were wide open. This has happened before at Shipyard. The course needs a ranger to keep play going at a respectable pace.
