Barony at Port Royal Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Barony Course at Port Royal Golf Club constitutes 18 of this well-known island facility's 54 holes.
Playing to just 6,543 yards from the gold tees, Barony is a very enjoyable course for all skill levels. The back nine in particular is a fine mix of long and short holes. Like its sister courses at Port Royal, Barony begins and ends at the club's beautiful Antebellum-style clubhouse.
From the tee, many of the holes on Barony appear to be relatively open. But as you approach the green the real challenge of the course becomes clear. The greens are small and protected by deep bunkers and Bermuda rough, demanding an excellent touch with the medium and short irons. This is a course where accuracy, not length is the key factor.

Barony course Photo submitted by JIMMYLAW77 on 01/10/2018
Great Round
Good condition overall. Greens exceptional. Friendly staff. Fast pace.
Very nice shape for winter golf, greens were in good shape
Good experience
The course is in very good shape....cart paths need repair. Greens and tee boxes were in great shape.
Horrible management
We had a 1:00 tee time, got there at 12:20 to hit balls, and they said there was a 30 min wait because they had all the karts in use already, said they got busy. They let the locals come in and jump tee times over people who had a tee time reserved. Finally got out at 1:40. Course was alright, greens were about 4 days since last cutting. Only got through 17 holes. It might’ve been a one time thing, but out of the other courses here, there’s no chance I take that risk again.
Nice course, good value
Played in Dec so some grass was brown, but greens and tee boxes were still green and well-maintained. Course was moderately challenging with some water (although not too difficult to avoid) and a lot of well-protected greens. Bunkers were a big issue for any inaccurate shots. Staff was very friendly and pro shop was nice. They give you a free warm-up bucket of range balls, which is nice since some courses charge for it.
A Christmas Eve on the Barony golf course
The golf was well maintained and really nice to play. Lost few balls in the water.
Will come back.
Great layout, fair but challenging
Very much enjoyed playing there. Very scenic. Layout had some great par 3s.
Great course, friendly staff
We had a blast playing this course; well kept, good condition, and excellent greens. The staff was extremely polite & friendly!
Great course but so SLOW!
The course was in great shape. I'm an average golfer and the course did not seem too difficult. Most fairways were very forgiving. There were a lot of sand traps but they weren't difficult to play out of. Staff was extremely nice. Only drawback was the pace of play. There were four groups on almost every hole; we waited five to ten minutes on nearly every shot. I realize they were trying to get everyone in before dark, but the should have limited and spread out the tee times more. I would definitely come back but it was very difficult to get into a good rhythm.
