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.

unfortunately we had to play cart path only. Very slow pace, long walks.

There is no on course distance markings which makes this format very challenging.

Shipyard 4/4/24

We had an issue with the cart on the 1st hole. It just stopped working. I tried all manner of things to get it going. Fortunately, our playing companions had an extra cart for a spectator and they let us take over that cart. I promptly called the pro shop through their many layers of choices and steps and reported the issue. Midway through the round someone from the pro shop road up and confronted us and basically accused us of leaving the cart and then claimed no called it in. We explained what happened but guy was all haughty and said the cart was working perfectly fine. Acted like he didn’t believe us. Then he accused us slow play ect. Kinda ruined the mood…

Great course. Too expensive

Fun course and great experience. Just too expensive for the conditions. Have played better courses in wv for half the price we paid on GolfNow which was already a big discount.

Score cards

The scorcards left a lot to be desired... there were no gold tees and the yardages on the blue and white were off on most holes making it very difficult to decide which set of tees to play.

Six hour round

Booked 18 holes but only completed nine. The front nine took almost three hours.due to the course being overbooked and the starter sending out multiple twosomes in a row.

The course was not in great shape. Many better options at a cheaper price.

Hoping for better

Fairways were poor and a few greens were also. Interesting layout but slow pace of play.

Nice Layout - Slow Play - Mediocre Shape

I enjoyed the layout of the course and a good amount of water and hazards to avoid did make it interesting to play.

The pace of play on this day at least was very slow (approximately 4:45 minutes) which brought on some frustration.

The greens were in decent shape though and rolled true. Several huge gators on the course which took my mind off of standing around on the tee and fairways waiting to hit.

Fair value

Fairways need some growing in -- expected in mid-March. Greens were very good. Bunkers good use a bit of sand. I'd play it again at the right price.
