About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6657 yards
Slope 134
Rating 73.3

A Pete Dye redesign of a George Cobb and Willard Byrd original design helped take the Robber's Row Course at Port Royal Golf Club toward the head of the pack on Hilton Head. Dye added or redesigned 43 bunkers on the front nine, changing par from 35 to 36 and did some shortening on the back nine to change par from 37 to 36.

The golf course plays little more than 6,000 yards, with a somewhat-friendly 124 slope rating from the tips. Players will have to do some work on their approach shots, as the Cobb/Dye design keeps its greens well protected with bunkers.

The golf course is a scenic delight, however, and in a nice move, you get history lessons at the tee boxes to help let you know the past of the area you are playing, which was once an important location in the Civil War.

Robbers Row

Like the nice wide, fairways and challenging dog legs. Glad to see, they reduce the size of some of their bunkers not a fan of the sand traps could still reduce some more of those.

Started 15 minutes late and took almost 5 hours to play the course. No marshal to keep pace of play. Greens were a bit slow. Very narrow fairways. Would have enjoyed the course if not for the long waits.

Robbers Row

Enjoyed a round of golf at Robbers Row. The layout was challenging but not punishing. The greens are on the small side but in good shape. I liked that there are safe areas to get around hazards and the areas under trees are clear. Staff was very friendly.
