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.

Shipyard exceeded my expectations. It was a very good course and well-maintained. My only criticism was the yardage markers. We were playing on a day when carts were not allowed on the fairway. It was very difficult to judge the yardages, because the only yardage markers were embedded in the fairway and very difficult to see. I wish that courses would stay with the yardage stakes; white for 150 and red for 100. Other than that, great experience!

Pace of play

Our Group let two players play through.

Instead of hurrying them along we were the ones that got in trouble. It was uncomfortable enough for my wife and I to quit after 9. The staff was courteous and refunded the remaining 9 wholes.

Solid HHI Course

Great weather, great course conditions. Lots of dog legs. Fun course. The price I paid ( under $100) is actually good for the area. Booked on GolfNow the day before. In season can be $40 - $50 more to play mornings. Cheaper after noon.

Surprised

Was warned the pace might be slow, but the pace was 4:20. I'm a very fast player so the pace always challenges me patience wise. But here the pace was fine. The conditions, considering the overseeding season were very good. Staff friendly. I would have like to see a beverage cart more often, but every course is having the same issue finding help. Value for the money is great.

Very nice course

Enjoyed our round on Galleon & Clipper. The course is fair with some challenges requiring a well thought out and accurate shot. Conditions were quite good. Greens medium paced and pin placements could be tricky.
