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.

Great place to play

There isn’t a golf course on the island where you will be treated better than Shipyard. The staff members are so friendly, accommodating, and professional. The course is in excellent shape. I purchased a 2 month winter special through Heritage Golf. I have the choice of 6 courses with this package. I expect to play shipyard the most. In my opinion, you will not be disappointed playing this course….

Worth Playing

This is a 27-hole layout with a decent range, chipping area, and putting green. Interesting layout including force carries, dog legs, and a good mixture of par 3, 4, and 5 holes. The pace of play was around 4 hours. Greens are interesting as grass goes dormant in the winter, dyed, and rolled making for fast putting.

Great staff and course

I was visiting from out of state (New York) and decided to play a round. The staff was so welcoming and friendly from the moment I got there. Made me feel at ease. The course was in good shape for the time of year. Saw multiple gators throughout the course, which was a cool experience.

Enjoyable and fast round in December

Arrived 30 minutes ahead of my 9:16 tee time and was greeted warmly by the staff. Got set up, hit some balls, some putts and out to the course, Got an escort to the first hole of the Clipper (I played Clipper then Brigantine 9's) and chatted briefly with the starter (we are both originally from Massachusetts) before starting the round. I was initially worried how the greens would be since the practice green has recently been punched (tiny punches) but the greens on the course were in really good condition.

Played the blue tees since the rating matched closely with my home course. Some of the blue tees were pushed back to the gold lengths, which presented a few challenges I didn't expect, but it was a pleasant round. Played 18 holed in 2:30, nobody ahead of me or behind, only maintenance crews on a few holes.

Everyone there was friendly and in good spirits. The course was in great condition given the time of year. Tee boxes and fairways were very good, greens not too fast and rolling true. It was my first time playing but everything is in front of you so nothing tricky, just straight golf. I would definitely recommend it.

Significantly improved over past years

Clearly management has and is investing to improve this course. Greens were in great condition; fast and true. Fairways need a month or two additional time to fill in but in current condition we still felt that they were far better than anytime in past few years. Only area that I would love to see modified are the bunkers. They were to packed down felt like hitting from hard pan. Plan to definitely return.
