Brigantine/Clipper at Shipyard Golf Club
About
The Brigantine/Clipper Course at Shipyard Golf Club combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses on the property for one of the more challenging tests on Hilton Head. Brigantine/Clipper has a rating of 73.5, with a slope of 135 from the championship tees.
Designed by Willard Byrd and built in 1982, alligators sun themselves along the scenic, water hazard-filled Brigantine nine holes. With slight doglegs and well-placed bunkers, this golf course requires shot making and a good short game.
With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. This George Cobb design requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.

Terrific improvement
The improvement in conditions of this course is remarkable.
Great Course
The course was in great condition for February. Greens were in perfect condition and rolled fast. Range, putting green, and chipping green were also very good. Our tee time was at 12:28. No one was in front or behind on the front 9. The back 9 pace was pretty slow. Our round still only took the average 4 hours. Would definitely recommend!
Wow!
The conditions of this facility have vastly improved.
Cart Path Only
Overall the course was great for the time of year. However don't quite understand why it was cart path only. Not wet and not too hot..
As such it took 2 1/2 hrs to play 9.
Outstanding
The staff were fabulous, especially the guy outside who validated that I paid. He gave me a full run down on the 18 holes. He was a thorough gentleman. I’ll go again because of him.
The pro-shop was busy but took time out to talk to each customer.
Bathrooms were clean.
Thanks for a great day out
Disgusting starter with long hair
No personaliy. Tried to bark out orders. Did not work with me. No welcome No course point outs. Disgusting representaton
Enjoyable Round in November
Really enjoyed playing this course today-. They were in midst of overseeing so vary path only bit greens were fantastic. We played in 3:50 and and rarely saw another person. Course seems tight but there are nail out spots. Some nice risk reward holes and fun layout. Will come back
Great round of golf!
This was a great course for this average golfer. I never felt pushed, and didn’t really have to wait. The course was well managed, well maintained and the staff was great. The pro shop was also well stocked.
Fun Solid Choice for Golf on Hilton Head
I would play Shipyard again. The entire staff was friendly, the course was fun and picturesque, and the course was in very good condition. I felt that I got my money’s worth and that I had chosen the right course to play near to where I was staying
Pace of play slow
Group in front of us very slow. Many course officials on course but no one enforced pace of play on them.
Nice Course
I have played this course before. It is a very good course. However, there has been a lot of rain on Hilton Head Island and the courses are very wet, cart path only. This course has 27 holes. One of the 9's was closed, it was under water.
However, based on past experience, I would recommend this course. Just wait for it to dry out.
Great setting for golf
Excellent setting among the palmettos, pines, and oaks with Spanish moss and lots of wildlife. Very serene. Greens, fairways, and tees, very good even with a ton of rain.
Tired Old Girl
Played Shipyard 35 years ago and it was a fabulous resort. Time has taken its toll here. Cart paths are crumbled and need resurfacing. Greens were punched and slow which is understandable.
I called the pro shop before booking to ask if they had a shower facility and towels. I was told yes by the individual answering my call. Unfortunately, when I arrived I found the showers were not functional and the water was even turned off.
The clubhouse looks old and worn. The entire facility needs a total remake.
Shipyard July 2025
The course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was good and the staff was very friendly. I would play there again.
