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.

Slightly underwhelming

I was hoping for more. Nice track. Greens in good shape. Fairways, not so much. Most courses here are public. This really felt like a public course. Staff was more interested in getting you through the gauntlet than making sure you enjoyed your round.

Dry. Dry. Dry.

Dormant Bermuda fairways, dryest I've seen so far on the island. Lots of roll but often hard to find a decent fairway lie.

Greens excellent however, fast and true roll.

Nice design

The course has a nice design with many doglegs and well trapped greens

The spring conditions have the fairways with very dry conditions and limited growth of green grass

The greens held shots well and were consistently smooth for putting

Shipyard HHI is a great track

First of all Shipyard has one of the best staff on HHI. Unfortunately, the pace of play was very slow, 4:45. However this is a very busy time on HHI with winter golf trips happening, as usual. The course is not in great shape right now as things are just starting to grow on HHI. The greens are very good despite the early season. Today we felt like we were watching the grass grow in lieu of playing golf. Is not normal. Shipyard is a great network of 3, 9 hole courses and are all great and fun to play.

Good but SLOW

Good But Slow. We had to walk off on #17 after 5 hours so we didn't miss our dinner reservation. I've heard the same story from friends who have played there

If they can solve this pace problem I would. Go back.

Great course, very slow play on Sunday afternoon

I love the Shipyard course with 3 different nines. The pace of play on a Sunday afternoon was very poor but I understand couples enjoy playing at this time of the week. We waited on every hole and I felt bad for the group in front as they were not very good and took many shots then eventually picked up. We left the course 6 holes early because we couldn't stand the wait. Greens were is great shape and the overseeded fairways are coming in nicely. Overall, great course, but way too crowded!

Poor customer service

The starter on this course was a little short with clients acted like he was doing us a favor by letting us play the person on the course checking golf cart numbers was very short and maybe he needs a new task

The course itself is way over played maybe they should take fewer players the second nine was horrible I know we still have some winter conditions but the course is unplayable in spots
