Brigantine/Clipper at Shipyard Golf Club

Was a single. Got paired with 3 others. Which was good. Pace was great. Course was in great shape. Greens rolled true and quick.

With all the water hazards and doglegs, course is almost impossible. Needs to upgrade to have the gps on the carts especially for out of towners.

We enjoy being first out and playing 9 holes but it might be nice to have option of playing a different 9. Greens were in god shape fairways rough at times

Shipyard is your average Hilton Head golf course. Greens are probably the highlight with nice roll and true break. All other aspects (upkeep, layout etc) are average for this area. There are much better kept course that we experienced this trip (sea pines, palmetto dunes), but this course was in fine shape. Make sure someone in your group has a GPS set up on their phone as several holes are doglegs that the direction is not apparent off the tee.

The pro shop and starter are not particularly friendly. The starter gave a stern warning that as the first group off we should not play too FAST. While I understand the point of what could only be described as a lecture (course has 3 nines so no matter where you start you turn onto a course that is already full) it doesn't need to be so rude.

All that said, I would play this course again if the price was right as it is a well kept track and a pretty good layout.

Pace of play hindered by "cart path" only rules, when they were unnecessary. The course is beautiful though, with an interesting design. It does require some target shots.

Great course for family golf in Hilton Head. Multiple tees for play at various levels. A little pricy but still a value considering the golf rates in general in HHI.

Played with a junior and an an adult who plays once a year. All had a good time. And played in just under 2 hours.

The Shipyard courses were in excellent condition…probably as good or better as any at HiltonHead.

Played in 4:45. Course was in good shape an the layout is fair but requires accurate iron play.

I was relatively pleased with my experience playing Shipyard. The course was in good condition and it was a relatively interesting layout. With that being said my issue was with the way they were sending groups on the course. We were the first time of the day. The starter said "You are the first group of the day, and setting the pace for the day." We played our first 9 in 1 hour 40 minutes, we were not rushing, just playing ready golf. As we made the turn, we came right into the middle of the groups they were sending of the second 9. It took us 2 hours 25 minutes for the second 9 (I realize this is still a good overall pace of just over 4 hours, just annoying that it was 45 minutes longer and we waited on every shot on the back). With this being a 27 hole facility I don't know how they direct groups around the nines. If we were not told by the starter that we were setting pace, or perhaps we were informed that groups were starting off our second nine, until x time. I found out in the clubhouse we could have played the first 9 in 2hours 25 minutes and still ran into the groups going off our second 9.
