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.

Save your money!

I was looking forward to playing Port Royal as I was here many years ago but never played the Barony course. Bad start as they were running a little late and no coffee or anything to eat or drink at 8:20 AM! I was lying for a cup of coffee. Played the round in 4:40. No rangers to be seen. The tee boxes were in horrible shape and the greens worse than a local muni. Fairways had been punched but were either burnt or muddy. This is supposed to be a premier course in a Westin property. It’s not. Layout ok if u like a bunch of doglegs.

Great track

Enjoyed the round. Pace of play was decent. A bit slow on front 9, but that is to be expected for resort course. Finished 18 in just under 4 hours.

Greens and fairways in great shape. Sand traps just needed some cracking after the recent and significant rainfall

Port Royal courses usually in good shape. Some tee boxes may great. Fairways and greens good. Greens a little unpredictable with speed, some fast, some slower.
