The Clipper/Galleon Course at Shipyard Golf Club, which combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses on the property, creates an exciting combination of long fairways and perilous hazards. Clipper/Galleon has a rating of 74, with a slope of 133 from the championship tees.
With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1970, Clipper requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.
Galleon, the original nine holes, meanders through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

What an experience!
My first time visiting and golfing in Hilton Head. It was an amazing experience playing the course. From the staff ready to greet you and provide an overview of the course to the Marshalls providing tips along the way…The course was in great shape and very well laid out.
I will be returning!
Thanks again

Slow, slow, slow
Second time playing the course and had hoped slow play the day before was due to relatively new golfers in front of us. Nope...waited 20 minutes on the first tee and never less than 10 minutes the rest of the round. Golf etiquette completely lacking. Staff might need to emphasize prior to the round.

Fun time
Decently wide fairways for Hilton Head area. Greens challenging when ball close to hole. Course overall in excellent condition esp. considering how hot weather has been this summer. Greens had not completely yet recovered from recent aeration. Enjoyed the day.

Great overall experience
Course conditions were great. The staff was very friendly. Nice place to eat good bar food. I was joined on one green by a gator. The gator told me to take the 8 ft put as a “gimme”😊! Beverage cart staff very friendly. I enjoyed the round.

I played a few days after Hurricane Debby. Unfortunately, there was a significant amount of standing water. The course needs maintenance, cleaning up branches and dead palm fronds.
