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
Nice course.
Nice course. Course condition was good for February. Would play again.
Course in good shape for this time of year
Only reason I have amenities a mixed rating is that the grill closes at 5 pm
We finished our round at 6:30
We would have had a drink and dinner if they were open

Enjoyable layout and conditions
This course had some challenging pin placements as the green complexes can be troublesome. Enjoyed the round and recommend you try out Barony.
great course
Well run course with varying degrees of difficulty.
Winter golf
Excellent welcome. Greens quick and fairly true. Played in about 4 hours considering we had to walk in. One of my playing partners was having a moan about some of the fairways and the lack of grass. I reminded him it’s winter golf.

Course condition was average - fairways quite burnt out. Value for money was reasonable at best.

Port Royal review
Second time playing Port Royal. Staff very friendly and efficient getting loaded and checking in. Great warm up area with range large putting green and two chipping greens. Course was in good condition. Dormant grass on fairways but green tees and very good greens. Good speed allows the ball to roll. Play was slow with no ranger on course. Round took 4 hours and 20 minutes. Nice layout and definitely worth playing. I will return
