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
Very good course
This and its sister course are always a go to on the island. Very good course for a reasonable price.
Fun Course
Course is in marvelous shape for the time of year. Pace of play got slow at the end, but overall was smooth. Not much concession on course. Stock up at clubhouse before heading out! And keep in mind Driver isn’t always necessary!
Great course in Hilton Head
Staff was friendly; course was great...would recommend
Good round
Course in better shape than previous year. Got my first hole in one in the 14th hole
Good round
My first hole in one on 14. Made whole round something to remember
What happened to the greens
Course in decent shape everywhere except the greens which were barely puttable. The greens weren't cut and had different tufts of grass growing at different rates. Staff told us afterwards that greens were overseeded and could not be rolled or cut for a few days. Would have been nice to know this before we booked or there should have been a substantial greens fee discount to play it as is.
I can say I played golf on Hilton Head.
Very nice practice facility. Staff friendly and helpful just not enough of them. NO monitor of pace of play on the course. Never saw a Ranger. Waited every tee box and fairway.
First impression
Saw the cart once the whole round. Not a lot of restrooms between holes. Greens a little rough for the money.
Barony blues
Overall very nice off course facilities (range, club house etc) The track itself was lacking. Greens were slow, fuzzy and devoid of much slope. Constant doglegs left, par 5’s that required the driver stay in bag, left us disappointed. Staff was professional and friendly however, we will try many other HHI courses before we return.
