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.

Unfortunately it was a very wet and windy day, but we knew what we were getting into when we arrived at the course. Layout is great, starter and cart men were very friendly and the Brickyard Pub was excellent. Looking forward to coming back when not so wet.

Professional staff

Nice layout. The staff was as helpful as possible. The grass was still dormant, but I believe that once it warms up, that everything will be fine. The traps were well maintained. Landscaping was being done around the edges of the course, mainly with the overhanging tree branches. This was good.

very nice golfing experience

Great and welcoming staff all around. Greens were in excellent shape and nice and quick. The fairways were winter-like, lots of tight lies. Overall in reasonably good shape.

Excellent Condition

We’ve been traveling to Hilton Head for almost 20 years and play golf there regularly. This was our first time playing Shipyard. We played Brigantine and Galleon, which are the shorter of the 3 nine-hole courses. Both were in great shape with very fast greens but they are relatively easy courses.

pleasantly surprised

have been to HHI many times, including 3 3 month stays

shipyard was NOT on the courses selected because of poor maintenance/traps/tee blocks.

Between missing covid years(2021-2) until now and new course management

really impressed with course conditions, staff was wonderful (starter Ed)

Pace of play ruined the day

Course staff were friendly and the course was in great shape for the off-season. If pace of play is this poor during slow season I can’t imagine spring, summer, & fall. There wasn’t anyone monitoring or enforcing speed of play. We had 3 players on 3 different tee boxes and we were still waiting every hole. We only managed to play 12 or 13 holes in almost 4 hours!
