Course Highlights
The staff at Port Royal Robber's Row consistently earn high praise for their welcoming and attentive service throughout the round. The course layout rewards strategic play with generous fairways that still offer meaningful challenges on every hole.

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.

Highly recommended

Was very pleased with the condition of the course being it mid February, many of the reviews I had read stated that the pace of play was bad. This was NOT the case in my round. I had NOBODY in front OR behind my foursome. I think that each days pace is different, some bad some not some not so bad, just like ALL courses.

I will DEFINITELY play here again

Nice Course, but———-

I’ve played this course two weeks in a row. The course is very nice in every aspect, except pace of play.

Both times the pace was unsatisfactory. Marshals or whatever are needed on the course.

Great Course To Play!

The staff was friendly, very well organized, running on time and good info was provided by the starters.

Course was in great condition, even after rain and cold weather the last few months. Lay out was fun, challenging but not impossible to play.

The only complaint I have is this course doesn't come back to the clubhouse after nine, we were not ready with water or snacks and the cart angel came by at the 15. Some water stations would have help, and if not coming back to the clubhouse maybe add another service cart.

Overall it was a great course and a good time

Port Royal

I think the entire facility is very nice.. Very friendly staff. The golf courses are also very nice and very challenging. .

The afternoon price is reasonable compared to the morning at this time of year. The Heritage group does a good job.

Fun time

Slightly beat up probably because of the winter season but fun layout. A bit narrow and sometimes cart path only holes were annoying and pace of play was a little slow but we took our time and enjoyed our round. Played bad but didn’t blame the course lol. Getting to see the Port Royal development was cool.
