About

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.

Better Than Expected Condition

Having played Shipyard a few times previously, but 5+ years ago, I was surprised by how well the course was maintained. Wicked-fast greens, well-manicured fairways, and light, fluffy sand in the traps. Carts were kind of old, and lacked GPS, and yardage markers on course were scarce. Still, it's a worthwhile play for HHI.

Worth It.

Two folks in the pro shop. The lady was extremely helpful and friendly. The gentleman, not so much. Staff in the bar were great!

The course was in nice condition. The Greens were some of the best I've been on this year. You gotta like Target golf and dog-legs. There are a bunch of them.

Overall, definitely worth the $125 I paid.

Shipyard

We really enjoyed this course. 27 hole layout allows for variety- greens are very true- only a little more slick than our home course. Would highly recommend it and plan to play it again

Good course

It was a busy day, but it moved nicely. Play and staff were great. The bar/restaurant at the turn was a little slow.

Challenging

Course has plenty of challenges at each hole. Greens are guarded, bunkers in great shape. Nice layout!
