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.

Difficult course due to course conditions
Fairways were in poor condition making iron play difficulties. Map of the wholes would have helped but nothing was provided that showed any details.Greens were very fast and impossible.
Always a Pleasure at Shipyard
Great courses. Great staff and amenities. I enjoy playing Shipyard every time I go.
Happy day
For a newbie snow bird from NH it was quite a treat to play golf here. Quick greens!!! Watch out for the gators;)
Happy Day - you are so right! Must be careful when above the hole. Wildlife is cool too!
New Years Day golf on fast greens!
We wanted to start the year out right and Shipyard did not disappoint. While the fairways and rough are dormant, the tees and greens are green and in nice condition. in fact, the greens where is the best shape I've seen them in 3+ years. Glad to see the course is putting some money into the greens as the layout is great with water on almost every hole. Bunkers were also in great shape (I hit too many of those) with very playable and consistent sand. Even saw some wildlife as the temps got up to 65 or so during the day. Overall a great way to start the year and I'll be back for many more rounds in 2023!
So glad you were able to celebrate 2023 with us! Happy New Year!
Holiday Fun
I enjoyed my solo outing at Shipyard. Great course for all level of player.
Erie - thanks for pointing out that every level of player will be challenged at Shipyard!
3 9s should speed up play
After completing first 9 second 9 was crowded and backed up. The martial handled it well and the game continued. It would have been nice to have a martial with the pace of play information on both second 9s and the ability to direct players to the most open course. Still a great course and one of my favorites.
Pleased to hear our Player Assistant was able rearrange play to your satisfaction. Honored to be on your favorite list!
Customer Service Could Benefit from Improvement
There were two of us. We were five minutes late for the tee time. The starter kindly put us out in short order. But the two course rangers were rude. We kept up with the group in front, but apparently the rangers didn’t like something about our having been late foe the tee time as they were both rude.
QuartoHo - we appreciate your comments and will address with our Player Assistants.
Greens were excellent
Better condition than in years past. Staff is awesome….
Thank you and you will continue to see nice improvements moving forward!
Always a pleasure
After a lot of rain there were some watery spots but overall well drained. As usual the game was enjoyable and a little challenging. Cart path only was not a problem and the right thing to do.
We are very fortunate that Shipyard drains very well but occasionally we are relegated to staying on the path after heavy rains. Thank you for understanding.
Very Good Shape
Course was in very nice shape, especially the greens for December 19. I played as a single and was lucky enough to get through 2 groups fairly early allowing me to finish in 3hr, a smooth 75. Didn’t eat or spend much time in the proshop but it was neat and had a good selection. I would highly recommend playing Shipyard next time you’re on the island.
Greg - fantastic to hear you were able to buzz through your round. Would love to have you check out the Pub and golf shop on your next visit!
Great course to build confidence
I play shipyard first when at HHI because it’s forgiving but still challenging. This course is well maintained and prepares me for the types of grass and greens on the island. Of the heritage collection shipyard has the friendliest people and most accommodating.
We are honored to be part of your confidence building and still providing a challenge. Thank you for playing.
Thank you so much for the 5 Star!
