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
Port Royal
Played this course today and could not have had a worse time. Pace of play was slow and the course Marshall got irritated that we complained about pace of play. The greens were aerated but in terrible condition not caused by the aeration. I would never recommend this course to a friend or anyone. The staff (other than the pro shop employee) were rude and unfriendly. Stay away and don’t waste your money here.
Truly a resort course experience
For the price be prepared for a slow round, lots of narrow holes through a housing development, and average conditions. I played this course and Hilton Head national in the same trip, highly recommend HHN over this even though it's a bit of a drive from those staying on island. Would rather spend the extra money and play sea pines than go back here.
Nice shape. greens were in great shape. my only complaint is that there is no map of the course layout which would be helpful considering the carts don't have GPS.
Fun course!
Great conditions throughout the entire course! I was originally scheduled to play there on a Friday afternoon, but I canceled because of early morning rains were heavy. Re-scheduled on Saturday and I was fully expecting the pace of play to be slow. Hardly anyone out there, kinda strange. I’ll return!
Return from pre Covid
A very enjoyable experience.
This course has always been fun to play.
Fairways were good compared to other courses on the Island
Pace of play was good
Fun outing & good course
Enjoyable round on an interesting track in good condition. I'd recommend it.
First timer here
After being rained out the day before, I was encouraged by my wife to book a round there and throughly enjoyed the course. Challenging course that demands good drives if you want to score good. Greens were in good overall condition. I will return!
Barony
Played this course and Robbers Row. Highly recommend this course. Great condition. Very enjoyable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be back again.
Barony CC.
The course is well laid out. Holes are moderately difficult. Course conditions were dry and windy. The course fairways and tees need water(note we are in a drought period). Staff was top notch from pro shop,starters and rangers.
