About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6855 yards
Slope 135
Rating 73.8

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.

Good course, great location

Three of us played in the morning. The course was in good shape, wildlife was present (birds, gators and other). We recommend the course.

Great course in very good condition. Only issue was pace of play. Could have used a Marshall to monitor playing time of groups ahead of us.

Decent course

Like a lot of northerners, I think the price is not comparable to the quality we have for less. But I get that we are in season (end of April). The fairways and greens were in good shape. I was a single and was with some nice guys. We enjoyed the round. The price was reasonable for around here, using GolfNow and applying a credit, I think it was $90 on a Tuesday afternoon.
