Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club

It was the first time I played this courses and probably the last. The course itself was in good condition and gave some challenge on certain shots. Upon arrival we had found out it was cart path only, which given the weather conditions we had the night before I wasn't surprised. With that being said I knew that would slow pace of play down just a bit. When the rangers had came around to check on the course they were extremely rude on the way they spoke to us and how they handled the situation of telling us about the pace which was not far from regular pace. Take it for what it is, we personally were turned off by that experience and will not return to this course.

I booked on line and paid on line.The staff found my booking but I still had to pull up confirmation email that I booked and paid on line. What if I deleted my email. This is a hassle that could be avoided. The staff requested that I find the confirmation email in order for me and my guest to play. My tee time was at 3 pm on 8/10/23.I booked on 8/4/23.

The greens need work as the ball would take different bounces. Seem just aerate

Second time I’ve played here and was an enjoyable round . The conditions weren’t the best with the heat and the greens were punched but they discounted the round with an aeration special so that was nice. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a good time.

What a great course to play! Greens were awesome and the layout was good. My only complaint is that we did not know that we would be nowhere near the clubhouse to stop after 9 holes and get water, refill drinks, etc and take a short break. It is a great course, but for a hot day in July we needed a mid course break. (The 9th hole is very far from clubhouse and because it was not a busy time of day the cart person was not out and about after 5th hole.)

We were scheduled for RRbut starter mentioned the greens had just been aerated. He said we could go off in Barony. Nice course, wide fairways, small greens. We were behind 4 young guys, 2 of which had clearly never played so it was really slow. They had to wait at times also. Ranger came by and was apologetic but said there were people on every hole.

Finally passed them in 7. Started back but there were 3 groups on 11. Ranger came by and said RR was pretty empty so we could head over there and play as many holes as we liked. We played the front nine, similarly nice course except for the aerated greens. Courses pretty open in HH in the afternoon due to the heat.

Nice courses, nice people.

Only exception is the woman in the pro shop who seems to think she owns the place. Very efficient but robotic. Talks about “my staff”. We left something in the cart, called and someone nicely said he had it and would put in room in the pro shop. Of course she said nothing could be there, but cart guys ( “my” staff) didn’t have it. Back to pro shop where she insisted it wasn’t there,but took my name. Meanwhile here assistant took a second, looked in back room and found it. Front desk queen said there needs to be better communication. Yikes.

It would have been helpful if we would have known that the greens had just been aereated. Not a good putting surface.

A very playable course of the Low Country fashion. Lots of sand, water, trees, etc. All in great shape, except the greens were slow. Course does not start near the clubhouse or return after 9 so stock up. Interesting historical markers around the course. Learned "Robber's Row" was unofficial name of the main street thru the Civil War camp there (9, 10 fairways) with various hustlers trying to get into the soldiers' pockets. Great practice area with dual pitching greens. No starter in PM but no worries. *Not sure if he was 'on staff' but a pro (?) acted like the pitching area was his alone. Would play again and recommend.

This is a course that will make the lineup on the yearly trip down to Hilton head. Phenomenal shape. Staff was amazing. Even the residents on the course are great.

I thought the course was great for the $75. Some rough patches around the greens, but they seemed to roll true once you were on. Some of the tee boxes were a little patchy, but that to be expected in the middle of July. The starter was helpful, and the guy in the pro shop was great!

I think I would go back for the $75 price but if I had to pay the ~$130 regular price, I would rather go to the Robert Trent Jones or George Fazio course imo… they just are in better condition.

Half the price of nearby courses, but the fairways and greens were in better shape at Robbers Row. The cart path through winds through numerous live oaks and includes several Civil War historical markers. This is my have to play it again course for Hilton Head Island.

The layout, conditions, and staff were great! Totally recommend!
