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.

Brigitine

(2) New golfers at the end of the day. Brigitine felt a little narrow and straight. Course grass wasn't the best all around, and I read a ton of pace of play reviews. No one was behind us or in front of us, and we loved it. Everyone seems to forget they started at one time too. Definitely saw a ton of wildlife. We had fun, and my wife built a ton of confidence (and played super well). Well worth the deal we got on GN.

Hilton head golf

Greens were in good shape. The fairways were what you would expect this time of year. I used a hot deal otherwise the few for golf would be too high for the shape of the course. Worth a play if you can get a deal.

1st round of 2 week trip

The course has 27 holes so I expected a 4 hour round...played closer to 4H, 15M. Allowed a 2-some to play with my 2-some since we had been waiting on most shots. Greens were slow but great shape. Fairways were spotty...likely due to grass not fully grown in (late February). Bunkers were in good shape. Would play again, but there weren't any "spectacular" or memorable holes, unlike some other courses in the area.

Interesting course but needs rain

Enjoyed this course. lots of challenging holes with many water hazards (and gators).

But lack of rain has made the grounds very dry and hard. But playing during the afternoon discounts makes it great value.

Shipyard

This course, and all its amenities, are dated but a great layout. I enjoyed it more than many of the "tricked up" newer courses in the area. Course conditions could be improved but looks like they are working hard.

Good from the Green tees.

Winter golf means dormant grass. A mis-hit shot will roll as far as a good hit will fly, so hit them straight!

I really enjoyed my golf day and putted ok when I realized uphill is better than downhill. This course will score better on replay.

Other HHI courses are in better shape

Too many bare spots in the middle of the fairway. Recent price increase not justifiable. Other HHI courses are in much better shape.
