Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Slow play, course in terrible shape
I golf over 100 rounds a year, 10 handicap
Robber’s Row is in terrible shape. We are from Chicago and we call courses in this condition, Goat Patches.
Paired with husband and wife team and their pace of play was 5 &1/2 hours, with multiple suggestions from staff and marshals. I have no idea what to do In that situation.
Very unenjoyable.
Don’t Bother There are better courses
The course condition was blotchy with patches of dirt throughout the fairways. The rough was in no better condition. Pace of play was horrific. Tee time intervals were 8 mins apart so a slow group would instantly back up the rest of the course. The ranger was useless. I quit after 12 holes since toughing it out would end up as a 5+ hour round. Don’t bother, you can’ find better venues to play..
Fairways were sparse but greens were very good, twilight rate available
Thought the course was in great condition for the time of year. Staff was really helpful. I would definitely play again.
Tired course
While we had a fun day, we found the course in need of considerable maintenance. The fairways were horrible. The layout was fun, but the not what we expected on Hilton Head.
Fantastic
Great experience all around. Course was in great shape
Website review
I needed to change my reservation. My mistake. I could not find another time that would accommodate my group. No way to cancel online. So I called the number on the website. It was just after 5:00 pm. Recording said to call back after 8:00 am the next day. That put me past the 72 hour period to cancel. Therefore I could not cancel. So I forfeited the money I paid.
My bad. I knew the rules. But 72 hours is a bit strict. I will never use this website again and I will tell my friends the same thing.
If the website had a better design or 24 hour customer support this would not have happened. Interestingly, they could have actually made more money. My issue was I had a tee time for a foursome. I actually needed two tee times for two threesomes. Since customer support was unavailable. I booked my two threesomes for a different course directly from the course.
So they missed an opportunity for another sale and now I ( and my friends) will never use this site again.
It is unfortunate that there is no way to rate this website. The link I was sent was only to rate the course. So I apologize to the course for a poor rating but maybe that will encourage them to find a better service for booking tee times.
