About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6543 yards
Slope 137
Rating 71.9

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.

Better,than expected

Course in good shape. Lots of right to left holes, and a lot of huge trees that come into play. T times were on time and pace ran smooth. A bit long from the front tees.

Maybe play once every 10 years.

Played for first time in about 10 years. Will probably be another 10 years before playing again. Greens very small and very inconsistent. Although size of greens very small, they were still surrounded by bunkers, which seemed overkill. The small size should have been enough of a defense without over protecting with so many bunkers.

Greens were also poorly maintained. Weeds in greens. Some needed mowing.. Some greens so wet ball would plug halfway into surface, others firm and you would get rollout. Never could predict how ball would react when hitting green. Also thought the bunker sand was too hard packed. Layout was not great either. Some interesting holes, but holes 7,8,9 basically the same hole except #9 was a little longer and par 5. The Palmetto Hall and Oyster Reef courses were much better and more enjoyable.

Barony play review

Course condition not too great. Lots of weeds, thin grass in fairways. Green speeds inconsistent and extremely difficult to read. Never made a putt all day.

Lot of sharp doglegs eliminating driver off tee. Lot of par 4 holes with sharp doglegs so not really much fun to play. No pictures of hole layout so you stay guessing where to hit ball on a lot of holes.

I would not play again. Oyster reef is far better.

Powaway, putting green, everything is perfect.

There are several places in the Dallas area to play at this quality, but the green fee seems to be cheap here.

Just awesome

Staff was super friendly. The course was fairly wide open but unfortunately we caught a group on 15. So the waiting game started. But it only took about 1.15 to play 11 holes. We were on fire. The greens were punched maybe a week before I played.. But they rolled pretty good. Some spots were a bit wet due to heavy rain they have received lately. So the 90 rule was in effect. Didnt effect all the fun we had during the round. Andy windy windy so chose club wisely and leave you ego at the clubhouse.

Good course

Good course, value was I would say on par not bad but not great either so I guess worth the price. Conditions are above average/good no complaints. Tiny greens and kinda some goofy layout holes some would like some would not. Would definitely enjoy more playing it a second time. Short with lots of layups off tee. Just play smart and play for accuracy. No complaints enjoyed the round.
