Barony at Port Royal Golf Club

First time playing Port Royal. Staff was friendly. Course was in great shape. Beverage carts on course. Layout allowed for various shots and used almost all the clubs in my bag. Few areas being repaired but nothing that couldn't be moved just a bit to allow repairs to grow in for future. A few sand traps didn't have much sand and were under repair. Just don't go in the sand and you're fine! 😃 I wasn't that lucky! LOL! Will definitely be back!

I had played this course several years ago.

The course was not the better of the existing courses back then and I believe the conditions have gone down hill.

This is a gorgeous piece of property. Course was nice, greens rolled pretty true. Some areas are still a work in progress but the effort is there. Would play this 10x over again.

I've played this course several times, but hands down this course is in the best condition I have ever seen. (June 2023) Greens, which had damage earlier in the spring, have completely recovered and the fairways are lush. First ones out on a Sunday morning at 7AM, capped off by a tasty lunch at the Robber's Row Grill.

Additionally, you may not find a better practice area on the island. There is a large area for short game work, practice sand, putting, large driving range - and best of all they have a 3-hole "practice loop" that you can play 3 times for $25. (a full par-4, par-3 and a par-5) A great idea if you don't have time for a full 18. GREAT FOR KIDS.

Nice course was just going to practice but decided to play! Glad I did! Shot my personal best score! Challenging course but fair! Had ample birdie opportunities but couldn’t convert. If your down here give it a try.

Played the course under cart path only restrictions. Carts could have been allowed on the fairway on front nine. Back nine should have had restrictions in a couple of holes. There should have been a discount since it was cart path only

Would like for there to be 150 yard markers. Easily found 100 and 250.

Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is located in the very pristine Port Royal Plantation and features 36 holes of championship golf. Legendary golf architects such as George Cobb, Pete Dye, and Willard Byrd have left their marks on Port Royal. The club’s golf accolades include a #7 ranking in “The Best 18 – The Greatest Holes of Hilton Head and Bluffton” by Hilton Head Monthly in 2015 and as a “Top 75 U.S. Golf Resorts,” by Golf Digest magazine. In addition to fantastic golf, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is also an award-winning tennis destination.

Robbers Row Course was originally designed by George W. Cobb and William C. Byrd. It opened in 1967 and in 1994 it underwent a redesign at the hands of Pete Dye. The course sits atop some Civil War grounds and each hole features historical markers describing events on the Island. Robbers Row is located on the marsh side of the Port Royal Plantation and cuts through beautiful strands of magnolia and live oaks. It’s known for its generous fairways and well-protected greens.

The 6th hole at Robbers Row is a 517-yard (White Tees) dogleg right par 5 that can be reached in two with just the right tee shot. By playing down the right side of the fairway, you can shorten the hole or make it even shorter by hitting your driver over the trees and giving yourself a chance to get on in two! A layup shot up the left side of the fairway will leave the best angle into the green, which is shallow and mostly flat. It’s a good chance to pick up a stroke or two.

Port Royal has excellent practice facilities including a full-length driving range, short game area, and practice green. The staff of PGA Professionals at any of these courses can help you get the most out of your game. They offer private lessons, group lessons, camps, and clinics for golfers of all skill levels. There’s no excuse not to play your best when you step up to the first tee.

The resort offers indoor and al fresco dining at Bayley’s Lobby Bar & Terrace, Seacrest Restaurant and Terrace, and Sweet Cane restaurants.

At the Westin Resort & Spa, coastal splendor meets southern hospitality. The resort sits nestled amid natural dunes and Hilton Head Island’s pristine white sands, The Westin Resort & Spa offers its guests oceanfront resort views from most guest rooms, the Heavenly Spa by Westin, and three outdoor pools.

Any or all of these courses can be packaged together through The Heritage Golf Collection with a single phone call

Course was solid but the greens had just been aerated so greens were hard to evaluate.

Nice course beautiful layout, the tees and greens need a little work but besides that it was nice
