Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club
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.

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.
Cheated
I am an HHI resident who brought three guests from out of State, with the intent of purchasing three 3 day passes for the Heritage Courses and paying a resident fee for myself. Shipyard and Oyster Reef honored that, but Port Royal did not. I made the reservation for a foursome "on line" a month in advance. In the meantime, one of my party required an ankle operation but wanted to attend with my group anyway, but not play. I purchased the 3 day passes on day 1 (4/18) at Shipyard. Shipyard charged me an $18.00 ridealong fee for the injured party, and charged me a resident fee which I expected and which was fair..
When I arrived at Port Royal, the man in the pro-shop had a problem with your computer system and could not complete checking me in. So he called in the femail manager who completed checking us in. However, when she found that I had made the reservation MORE THAN 7 DAYS ago, she charge me your RAck Rate of $170 for myself, as well as a $35 rider fee for my injured friend. She accepted the 3 day passes for my other two friends.
Today, at Oyster Reef, we four checked in, knowing that Oyster Reef was going to fill out our party with a fourth golfer. However, when he checked in, they gave him a separate cart. So, we had the party of four, (with one not playing) in two carts and the fourth golfer was in a separate cart. My injured friend as not assessed a cart fee.
My point in telling you this is twofold:
1) Why don't all of the Heritage courses follow the same rules, especially with the multi day packages your corporation offers.
2) Your pro shop desk people need a little more training as well as a little more courtesy. After all, I brought out of state business to your course, and then I had to pay a penalty of $170 vs 75 + or _ to do that.
Robbers Row is what we played, and I was treated like the Robber.
Beautiful Course and in Great Condition
Robber's Row is one of my favorite courses in HHI. It's beautiful and in great condition. The check in and starter processes were easy and we were able to start our round without any wait. Overall gorgeous day and pace of play was not an issue. Can't wait to play there again.
Slow pace of play
I like course. I liked the value. Fairways could use more water (aka grass). The only downside is pace of play. Too many slow golfers not following golf etiquette (I.e; ready golf, pick up on double par, don’t putt 3 footers unless for a par or bird). Need rangers to enforce pace.
Fairways only fair
While the course has a nice layout resulting in using most of the clubs in my bag, most of the fairways were lacking good turf or had patchy grass. Greens were in much better condition, playing fast but fair. Overall was overpriced given then turf conditions.
