Galleon/Brigantine at Shipyard Golf Club

Course in great shape. Enough shade to make it through the morning without melting! Wide open fairways with challenging approaches to greens. Staff goes out of their way to make this a great choice in the many courses on the island.

The starter, pro shop staff, and cart girl were all extremely nice and hospitable. Course was in great shape, greens ran true. However, there was a strong emphasis placed on pace of play (understandable) and another staff member approached us twice about where we stood versus our projected finish. He was not informed that though we got to the first tee at 9:08 (our tee time), we did not tee off until close to 9:30. The starter we met upon arrival saw us at the charity par 3 and was happy with our pace given we started late. The other gentleman’s response when I told him we teed off late and never had a gap between us and the group in front was, “Oh, well I didn’t start until 10 this morning.” Though not a big deal, if you’re going to place an emphasis on pace of play and timed finishes for scheduled tee times, please don’t tell us that we’re behind pace when we’re playing at 2:10 per 9, as requested, and only behind “pace” because of a delay off the first tee. Staff starting later should take the time to get up to speed with groups already on the course before approaching them saying they need to pick up the pace.

I had read all the awful reviews after making a tee time and became scared to even show up. It turned out to be nowhere as bad as the reviews had claimed. It’s in no way in excellent shape but was a nice layout and more than playable.

Clipper 9 was great! But the Brigatine 9 had greens that were not as nice. Overall it was a good 18 and the layout is really good for senior tees.

Course was in excellent condition. I don't have a ton of experiences playing on higher end courses, but the greens were the best I have ever played. Only issue was that the drink cart didn't come around until we were on the 9th hole and it was already quite hot and humid by then and there was very minimal gatorade/poweraid. The cart had ran out by the time we saw it again on the back half of the second 9. Gotta get that that cart out there earlier and with more actual drinks instead of liquor

Unlike many of the curses in the Hilton Head area, this course is being maintained at a reasonably good level. The greens were in great condition and the fairways and tees were pretty good. One or two tees were chewed up. The layout is excellent. Staff, including an on course Marshall who kept play moving song. were all nice.

Really nice course to play the first time here. Lots of water and sand, of course, but some wide fairways and large greens. Cart girl very nice as well as pro shop staff and cart attendees. Purchasing Hot Deal through Golf Now was big discount.

Would definitely play again.

I chose this course mainly for the price compared to the Sea Pines courses for an early round, I got off the first tee right on time 7:15, we played the front 9 extremely fast as we were the first group off. The back 9 took a lot longer (almost 2x as long), that was a bit disappointing but at the end of the round it was an avg. paced round. The greens and tee boxes were in excellent shape, the fairways were great as well. This course exceeded my expectations for sure.

Had a great round. Course in excellent condition. Would play again!

Had a great time on a beautiful course.

Two things that were an issue :

1) We are out of towners and paid for club rentals for 4. Upon checking in we we’re told that was a huge demand for woman’s clubs and that two ladies had to share a set. Fine. No price adjustment as I paid for four.

2) On the 7th hole one of our carts died. We called the course and followed “reset” instructions. No luck . We were told a new cart would be delivered. One never arrived and 45 minutes later the cart arose from the dead. When I mentioned this when we returned, we were told “ this does not happen usually “. But it did !!! Very poor customer service as I probably won’t go back . Not even I’m sorry . Not like I can’t play elsewhere in HHI !!

Our pace with a 2:04 tee time on June 24 was not an issue. I’d suggest not playing at peak times if

you want to crab about pace of play. I’m sure it could be dreadfully slow The staff was, as reviewed, not welcoming or friendly. Mike the starter was quick to point out he was in charge but vaporized at the turn never to be seen again. I can’t say the dynamic price was unfair at $75/round and it was an enjoyable experience. Slow greens but I’m not looking to play round wreckers on vacation.

Nice course, greens in great shape, pace of play great

$120 per round seems high but all courses were high in this area.

The entire rating would be 5 stars (excellent) but for the extremely slow pace of play on the first nine holes. Two of the golfers in the group in front seemed to be giving lessons to the two other golfers. Also, they seemed unaware that they were holding up the group behind them. We played a different back nine.
