Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club

Overall, beautiful layout. Fairways not great, but greens in pretty good shape. The staff was quite friendly and made the experience better. Including range balls with the greens fee was a nice surprise. Pretty challenging and requires accuracy off the tee.

Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is located in the very pristine Port Royal Plantation and features 36 holes of championship golf. Legendary golf architects such as George Cobb, Pete Dye, and Willard Byrd have left their marks on Port Royal. The club’s golf accolades include a #7 ranking in “The Best 18 – The Greatest Holes of Hilton Head and Bluffton” by Hilton Head Monthly in 2015 and as a “Top 75 U.S. Golf Resorts,” by Golf Digest magazine. In addition to fantastic golf, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is also an award-winning tennis destination.

Robbers Row Course was originally designed by George W. Cobb and William C. Byrd. It opened in 1967 and in 1994 it underwent a redesign at the hands of Pete Dye. The course sits atop some Civil War grounds and each hole features historical markers describing events on the Island. Robbers Row is located on the marsh side of the Port Royal Plantation and cuts through beautiful strands of magnolia and live oaks. It’s known for its generous fairways and well-protected greens.

The 6th hole at Robbers Row is a 517-yard (White Tees) dogleg right par 5 that can be reached in two with just the right tee shot. By playing down the right side of the fairway, you can shorten the hole or make it even shorter by hitting your driver over the trees and giving yourself a chance to get on in two! A layup shot up the left side of the fairway will leave the best angle into the green, which is shallow and mostly flat. It’s a good chance to pick up a stroke or two.

Port Royal has excellent practice facilities including a full-length driving range, short game area, and practice green. The staff of PGA Professionals at any of these courses can help you get the most out of your game. They offer private lessons, group lessons, camps, and clinics for golfers of all skill levels. There’s no excuse not to play your best when you step up to the first tee.

Heritage Golf Group has partnered with two local resorts: The Westin Resort & Spa and The Sonesta Resort. To get to the Sonesta Resort, you drive right by the Shipyard’s clubhouse, making it easy to get in an extra nine holes in the evening.

The Sonesta Resort is a AAA Four Diamond family-friendly beach resort that recently underwent a $30 million renovation. The renovation included a spectacular new swimming pool complex with a shaded lap pool and Jacuzzi, a zero-entry heated lagoon swimming pool, and a children’s area. The 340 spacious guest rooms and suites offer views of the Shipyard Plantation grounds, lush tropical gardens, swimming pools, and the Atlantic Ocean. The resort offers indoor and al fresco dining at Bayley’s Lobby Bar & Terrace, Seacrest Restaurant and Terrace, and Sweet Cane restaurants.

At the Westin Resort & Spa, coastal splendor meets southern hospitality. The resort sits nestled amid natural dunes and Hilton Head Island’s pristine white sands, The Westin Resort & Spa offers its guests oceanfront resort views from most guest rooms, the Heavenly Spa by Westin, and three outdoor pools. All of Westin’s bright, open rooms include WiFi, a flat-screen cable TV, a small refrigerator, and coffee-making facilities. There’s family-friendly dining in the Carolina Room, poolside dining at Splash, with additional dining at View 32 and Ingredients.

The course was way over priced despit being on HIlton Head Island. The tee boxes were mostly dirt and the greens still hadn't recovered from being aerated, but they charged full price. We waited on every tee box but still had a ranger who decided to follow us for a whole creeping around in the woods. He drove up while about to tee off and then crept up on us while about to hit second shots mid back swing. Whole staff seemed to be suffering from first day syndrome. Would never play there again!

Golf course was in good shape for early summer. Fairways are filling in. The greens were still a little bumpy from aeration. Should be good in a couple of weeks. Staff is friendly.

My wife and son are not frequent golfers so the fact that the greens had recently been punched was not a problem. The rate was only $75, so they got a chance to enjoy a $171 layout and condition for less than half the price.

The pace of play was reasonable, and the conditions were nearly perfect. Reasonable temp and very little wind & including a small bag of range balls was nice as well. Thank you

This was the first time playing the course and was impressed. Yes, some of the tee boxes could use some work, but the overall layout is generous if you hit the fairway. If you don’t hit the fairway, then it can be a long round, which it turned into for me. Large oaks line most of the fairways which limbs can block you from taking aim for the green. Greens are about recovered from aeration a few weeks okay. Fairways are in good shape as well.

Overall, great round of golf and would like to play other course offering on next trip.

Greens rough from being punched a week ago, Tee boxes not great shape. Great course layout

I knew the6 had aerated the greens before I went there, so my 3 star rating not based on that. It was the tee boxes, some fairways that either had no grass or had weeds that was disappointing. I went here 1 year ago and thought it was in great shape. Love the course layout. But this year's condition is not great. There are simply better options for the price.

I sincerely hope they get the course back to what it was.

I didn’t experience all the amenities due to arriving close to tee time but the course was in good shape and pace of play was well in line with what you would want on a Monday morning. Played 18 holes in under 4 hours. The greens were aerated so they were running slow (as you would expect) but the course offered a discounted rate because of this. Overall a good course to play especially if you don’t want to spend a fortune on HH island.

Staff was great, fairways are in very good condition as well. The greens just got aerated recently so they were very sandy but playable. I'm sure they will be in great shape soon. The course has a very nice layout with some challenging holes and a few easy ones too. I highly recommend this course and look forward to playing it again.

I played with my brother-in-law and we really enjoyed the course. The pace of play was fine and we played as a two-some which gave us plenty of time to bond. I would have rated the course conditions a 5, however they had just aerated the greens and dressed them with sand. It did not interrupt the good time we had and we really liked the layout. I would definitely play here again! Enjoy it!

There was no grass? I guess they don’t water. The driving range was closed.

pace of play was ridiculously slow (5 hours+) and we skip a hole to get around some people. No course supervision to speed up play. They over booked and we started almost 15 miniutes late as well. The course was road hard, fairways burned up and layout was very basic. I would never pay the price we paid. I will never play this course again. just a terrible experience.

I expected lush tee boxes, fairways, and greens…..far from that! Not worth the money
