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.

Lovely course
We’ve been coming to HHI for 7-8 year, and somehow we never found this course. We’ve been there twice, and plan to return. It is beautiful, interesting, challenging for an intermediate player, and well kept.
Enjoyable round
The course and experience overall was fine. We were a little surprised that the condition of the grass around the greens wasn't great. The actual greens were in good shape and challenging. A lot of dead leaves down on the course but that might have been due to a storm the night before. All in all, it was a nice day of good but nothing memorable.
Will not be back.
In a month in Hilton Head, we have played six different courses. One of them had to be the worst - Robbers Row. I've played it many times, it's a good track. The problem is the fairways, mostly bare. Which means you hit a perfect drive, and are hitting your approach off hard pan. Once you're on the greens, it's fine - they are in great shape. But if the greens fees were $10, I'd pay $100 to play elsewhere.
Nice course but very slow
Course was in nice shape, Staff were friendly enough but greeters seemed to be little interested in greeting, Played with two other guests that made for an enjoyable round.\
Challenging but fair
Considering the time of the year, fairways & rough need another few weeks to grow in…..greens were in excellent shape…..tee boxes were in good shape…….traps/bunkers were in very good shape…….staff were very courteous….course is challenging but fair with green side bunkers and plenty of water that comes into play
Thin Fairways
This is a very nice layout, friendly staff and excellent greens. However, the fairways were very thin. If they want to say the grass is dormant and it’s early in the season, the price should reflect that. Price too high for conditions.
Excellent early season golf
Lovely course, always in good condition. Great range and practice area, putting green perfect ( but the only flat green on the course ). Fairways coming along, still early season Bermuda but very playable.
