Barony at Port Royal Golf Club
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
Greens were recently aerated. No advanced notice. Charged full price for virtually unputtable greens.
Decent course
The course was average in my opinion. The layout was good but they had just done a core aeration which was unfortunate because that was not communicated to me at the time of the booking. The weather didn’t cooperate either so was not able to get in a full 18. We also had another group insert themselves in front of us on the back nine which slowed down play.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Barony at Port Royal Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
The course was nice. Tee boxes were not in very good shape but the course overall was good. Great lay out. Only complaint was there was little water to drink on the course at it was over 90 degrees. I would hope for better.
Robbers Row yes Barony No
Play Barony course today because Roberts Row (which is well maintained)just been aerated so we thought we’d give it a try. The course is really in very mediocre shape and the greens on the front nine are eaten up .
Fir the money, there are many other better places to play.
They needcto start taking care of that course.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Barony at Port Royal Golf Club!
Probably the time of the year,
We played on a day when the temperatures were in the 90’s. We thought about playing more expensive courses at Sea Pines Plantation, but figured all the courses would have some stress burn this time of the year. All in all, we had a good time, but for $135 per person, we thought the course would have been in better condition. The staff was awesome and they truly went out of their way to ensure the experience was great - so kudos to them.
Thank you for reviewing us. We see you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Barony at Port Royal Golf Club, and we hope to see you again soon.
Good layout
Aesthetically pleasing course. Challenging but not so hard for someone that is on vacation just looking for some fun on the golf course
Pace of play was horrible
Our tee time was 11:16, did not tee off until 11:45.Starter said it was a resort course, tee times were always behind. waited on every shot every hole. got to hole number 2 (par 3) there were (4) foursomes waiting on tee box. no rangers anywhere. we finally “gave up” on hole 15 at 4:30pm.
very disappointed, would not recommend this course to anyone.
Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for your recent experience.
We're sorry to hear you were less than satisfied during your round. We pride ourselves on our providing great service and the high-quality standards we maintain.
We would like to make things right. Please reach out to our management team at the pro shop.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Nice course, but...
Nice course but greens still bumpy from aeration. Course layout favors draw tee shots mostly. But overall nice course and excellent staff.
Good layout but bad timing
Based on previous golfnow reviews that said course was in excellent shape I decided to book a tee time for 5/31 for a foursome. When we arrived at the starter, we was informed that the course had been plugged and sanded. The starter did offer to squeeze us into the robber row course if our group played medium to fast pace. Being our first time their and father in law very slow pace we proceeded to the barony course where the starter said no one was teeing off before us or within an hour after us. Arrived at first tee and a group of two was on tee box and while waiting another group of two feel in behind us. Pace of play ended up being a little slow due to first time players in front of us. On top of greens, there were several holes with recent re-sod around greens and sand boxes. Few tee boxes were beat up on the par three. There were a few greens that had not been plugged and they were very slow with some type of weed trying to grow in. Fairways were in good shape. I enjoyed the layout with multiple dog legs that required you to think about your shot. I should have hit an iron or fairway wood of the tee for most holes as a driver is a little to much. Overall I would play this course again but it will be some time to let the staff work on it. Even on the hot deal for $75 per person I felt it was too much for course condition.
