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.

Inviting Course and Staff
I was a first-time visitor to Shipyard for my afternoon round of golf…and I was so impressed with both the course and the staff.
The course was in great shape for Winter conditions - mid-February - and it was a breeze to enjoy the round, with fewer golfers hitting the links this time of year. There are several courses at Shipyard - I played Brigantine - which is probably considered moderately difficult. Challenging…but there were no holes where I found myself in panic mode.
Most importantly - the staff. The employees here made the experience an absolute pleasure. From the moment I arrived to the moment I departed…the staff made the round of golf an A+ experience. For that reason alone, I will recommend Shipyard to everyone I know.
Thank you!
Great course
The over seeding of the fairways made them creep green even in February. The greens were immaculate and smooth. The staff is excellent and friendly. I recommend this to any golfer who is mid level or better. There are many challenging shots, so this course is not for a beginner.
Nice Design
Enjoyed the overseeded fairways, greens are in good winter condition.
Great Course
Very nice course with excellent fairways and greens. The starter put us behind a very slow group playing from the greens which was very frustrating but guess that's just luck of the draw. Lots of good sized gators throughout the course.
Shipyard
Overseed was very effective...greens were very fast... people very friendly and helpful.
Canuck Thetariff
Excellent winter conditions. Greens in great shape.
Nice Place
I checked in half an hour before for my tee time as a single and was immediately paired with a twosome which was fine but I did not get a chance to warm up at all. I did not hit even one range ball or try even one putt on a course I never played before I was on the first tee. The course was in great shape for February.
