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.

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.
Fairways were in very poor condition
Course layout is nice. Greens were in pretty good condition. Fairways were in poor condition. Very little grass. It was like hitting off a driveway. Pro shop attendant was not welcoming.
Fun course, great value !
Played 9 holes and decided to come back for 18 a few days later. Glad we did! Fun course , good layout! A double dogleg on 18th makes for an interesting finish!
Only drawback is if you only play 9 holes you finish literally miles away from the clubhouse; a long track back!
Course was in very good shape!
Signage
We only played nine; that’s what we paid for. When we finished the front Nintendo there is not one sign on how to get back to club house. First we went straight which took us to hole 10 and 11. We thought this can’t be right. So then we thought le
T’s go back to the end of 9?which we did and turned right . After asking tw
O separate bikers we were told we were i supposed to be in a golf cart in the neighborhood. 45 mins later we got back to the clubhouse having driven over a mile to get back. When I complained nicely I was told of yes, you are right there is no signage. You should have been told by the starter or the woman that checked you in but we really never said anyone out to that course for 9 holes because there are no signs. Very annoying and inconvenient. .
How about a golf now credit to be used at one of the courses in Maryland during the summer. We were two people.
