Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club

Had heard recent complaints about conditions of some courses on the Island so was pleasantly surprised to see this one in such good shape. Greens were excellent and staff very welcoming for first time visitors. May not have played too well but certainly can’t blame the course. Will definitely return.

I had last played this course about 10 years ago and had fond memories of it from that time. Unfortunately the course maintenance was only so-so as many of the tee boxes were uneven and rough. Sand traps were hard-packed and soaked. Our biggest issue was with club rental. We were given a set of older clubs and one in our party had the head snap off of a long iron on his second swing at the range. The club had rust at the shaft/ clubhead juncture. We returned the broken club immediatley thereafter and were told that they were in the process of updating their rental clubs and we were given a replacement. Upon cheking out we were charged a re-shafting fee for the broken club even though there was no abuse on our part (they referenced the fine print of the club rental contract) and told us that we had no way of proving our claim of no-abuse. Apparantly they have found a way to charge their customers for upgrading their rental inventory! I was truly dissappointed. definately not worth the money, definitely won't return.

Need more irrigation I believe. Very dry turf conditions. We played a nearby course two days later and it was lush and nicely matted from tees to greens. Somethings not right.

Found the greens to run true.. also in great shape! Some challenging holes as expected. Wonderfully stocked pro shop (for women). Can’t wait to play it again and the Barony course as well!.

We enjoyed Robber's Row. Nice layout with good challenges. Overall course conditions were good, but not as good as other courses in the area. Not a problem, just compared to others (albeit at higher prices) not as good. I would rate course conditions as a 7.5/10.

Slow golf groups, poor condition, they bunch you up on the 1st tee, no ranger to speed slow golfers.

Course was in very good condition. Enjoyable well paced round

Played an afternoon round while visiting

Hilton Head with my wife. What a waste of time. First of all, the starter seemed confused as to what was going on, asked us twice to check in. He didn't want to give us an extra scorecard until it was our time to play. The course was in poor condition. Fairways were very thin with many of bare spots, hard to get a decent lie. Greens were in good condition; tee boxes were rough. It seemed like the rough was in a dormant stage. The electric cart we got was in poor condition, at times we wondered if we would make it in. Pace on play was terrible, 2:45 for the front nine. The ranger kept coming by saying the slow group was a couple of holes ahead and he had asked them to speed up, then he said the slow group was only plying nine holes and that the back nine was wide open. The slow group didn't stop at nine as the course doesn't go back to the clubhouse after 9. The back nine was just as slow. We ended up skipping by 5 holes to get by slow groups and were able to play 17 and 18. We were looking at a 5 1/2 hour round if we stayed in place. We played 3 other courses on the island, all were in great condition so we were very disappointed in Robbers Row. I can't see how it rates a 4.2.

Be sure to add Port Royal to your golf destinations in Hilton Head. Fun courses with beautiful scenery including some alligators. 36 holes to chose from.
