Brigantine/Clipper at Shipyard Golf Club

Aeration not yet healed so conditions were not normal but playable enough.

Generous fairways are lined by trees dripping with Spanish moss, some strategically placed to shape the hole.

Most fairways are gently undulating, so shot shape, especially on longer fairway shots need to be controlled.

If you can avoid the trees, be aware of the carefully curated water features meandering along side many fairways, some hidden off the tee by landscaped tufts of grass, again used to shape the hole.

Just when you're celebrating your position off the tee, the designer slips in a very sharp dogleg, so the trees and water really play their part course.

Many greens are slightly raised from fairway height, so clubbing is essential to avoid delicate chips onto the receptive and lightly sloped greens.

Various wildlife can be seen and heard along the way. Mainly birds and some Big alligators!

All the staff were very friendly, accommodating and happy to have a chat.

The clubhouse was clean and airy with a beautiful veranda overlooking some finishing holes.

All in all: a little gem of a course.

i’m super new to the game of golf. i’ve only been playing for 2 months now. the staff was extremely helpful with all my questions (there was a bunch). gorgeous course, well taken care of and the views are amazing. 10/10

Very slow play, man and very small child in front of us and child was playing with 1 club at one hole 3 groups waiting to tee off

Played 9 holes two different days. Course is in very nice shape. Challenging if you don’t hit it straight. Staff in pro shop are very friendly and give you insight on how to play the course and putt their style of greens. Starter staff are very welcoming and make you want to come back. Golf is expensive in HHI but shipyard was a pretty good value in comparison to other courses.

Good value for golf on the island. New superintendent has done a great job. I always avoided this course due to bad reviews. Saw the good reviews and decided to try it and was not disappointed. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pace was fast. Greens were in good enough shape. Navigation was straightforward around the course. They charge $65 for club rental which was almost the cost of the round. Seems like better values could be found.

Enjoyable day of golf ⛳

Alligators were ever present and stayed in place. They added to the fun and did result in speedy shots at times. We finished 30 minutes early.
