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.

Golfer Reviews
Refreshing Comeback
It had been a few years since I played Robbers, and only once since the hurricane damage - and it was clear then that Port Royal was facing restoration challenges that didn't seem to be keeping up with other area courses. So I stayed away until deciding to try again this year. I was surprised and so pleased to find the course, especially the greens, back in excellent condition. We played 6 different courses on this trip, and RR was the best shape of the 6. The RR layout has always been terrific - and now the conditions are too!
Wonderful Comeback
Robbers (and Barony) took a lot of damage from the hurricane a few years ago. Due to insurance arguments or whatever, restoration didn’t begin quickly and courses stayed closed for some time with deteriorating conditions. So I hadn’t played there for quite some time. This first time back was wonderful! The full course and especially the greens were in top condition. Robbers Row is a very good layout (not for walking, though - long distances fro greens to next tee) with a nice variety of good holes, no two the same. Pace for our twosome behind a threesome who seemed to 3 and 4 putt every hole was poor - we could have used a ranger to encourage them since they had 2 or 3 open holes in front of them, but it was a beautiful day on a beautiful course. Loved it!
Fun fair course
Played Robbers row on vacation. Course was in good shape, greens were fair as was the course. Staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it and would play here again
Interesting course; slow play
This is a scenic course with an interesting variety of holes. It is reasonably well maintained, however, there were ball mark indentations on too many greens. The pace of play was miserable — almost a five hour round because of the 4 Canadian players ahead of us. We had to wait on every hole and they would not let us through no matter how bad they were spraying their shots. The staff were pleasant, but it would have been helpful if a Marshall had intervened.
Thanksgiving Treat
We had an incredible outing at Robbers Row, the staff was incredible, and their amenities to warm up were really nice too. Fast greens with very little break, always tricked me up! Found an incredible hot deal on GN for 1/2 the actual price, felt extremely lucky to have gotten such a deal.
Always a pleasure
Nice course and no complaints,everyone one was very courteous.
