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 round of golf
We had a beautiful day and great time with the pair we played with. The course was in good condition and had some tricky layouts. Still enjoyable and ‘interesting’ seeing several alligators :).

Brigantine and Clipper
Busy day and slow front 9 but quiet on back...to be expected. Course is long enough for whomever and challenging enough with lots of water.
It's about the experience and what you bring to it really. The course is perfectly fine and the staff is very good.
If you don't like it and you're not a scratch golfer; you're probably just being critical.
We'll be back

Consistently Great Golf Course
I have played at Shipyard several times over the past 5 years. Always enjoy the course and seeing a few alligators. Each of the 3 nines offer a mix of tight holes and more accommodating opportunities.

Good value for money
We like this course and think it is a good value without being exceptionally expensive. We have played other courses in Hilton Head Island , paid much more and they weren’t nearly in the condition of Shipyard. Would play this course again.

Nice resort course
A nice resort with dog legs defending some holes and alligators defending the lakes. The course is fun and not too technical, sand traps good, greens slow some bumpy ( it is then end of winter) but putted fine.
Will play again
