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.

I Recommend This Course
The starter wasn’t very customer focused. We were a twosomes put between two foursomes when he could have joined another twosome just ahead. Foursomes ahead of us took 2.5 hours to play front nine with nobody in front of them. We left after 9 holes.

Very enjoyable course
It is a fair and challenging course. As you'd expect, lots of trees, so some drives are a bit intimidating. Didn't have a bad lie all day, and the greens were fast/somewhat tricky. Staff was super friendly as well. Even though we arrived with only about 15 minutes to spare, the starter encouraged us to go "machine gun" a few balls on the range.
