Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club

The course is in good course. Greens were aerated recently…but hit it firm!

Nice Club in Port Royal Plantation on Hilton Head. Typically this is nice course. The Layout of the fairways are generous but each hole offers some kind of challenge verse reward. The. Club House is nice and the staff friendly. My biggest cripe this round is that we were never told that the course was just aerated - fairways and greens- totally impacting play- to top it off they even turned the sprinklers on while player were still trying to complete there rounds. :( even when we waited the course was too wet to play some holes. Very sad. Otherwise - despite a less that great expedience this time out we still enjoyed this course.

This course was challenging but fun! It was in great shape, everyone was friendly and staff very courteous and helpful.

I try to give grace most of the time and not be a keyboard complainer, but today's experience was just bad enough to allow it.

Played @portroyalgolfclub today and it went like this: No range balls. The starter said "I think someone is out there picking them", but no. A few balls scattered out on the range, so unless they only have a few hundred balls, they should not have been out. Saw the beverage cart lady at hole 3, but since we were a little bit behind already I said "I'll pick something up here in a little bit when I see you again". I never saw her or anyone else with a beverage cart ever again. At hole 11, a staff member was out and I asked him if he could send the beverage cart our way, we were quite thirsty. (Keep in mind there are no water stations on this course, and no halfway house, so once you go out you're out until you get back to the clubhouse.) He said he would send someone our way. We never saw anyone. Teeing off on hole 17 here came another staff member. I stopped him and asked him why we had not seen the cart girl we were very thirsty. He said "she had an emergency and had to go home". My main complaint about all of this is that on that course with no water stations The beverage cart should be a priority for this the staff. That was the second staff member that I had seen driving around and they can't drive a beverage cart? And at a resort course like this, why do they not stock the cooler on the cart with waters at least? There are too many good choices of golf on Hilton Head Island, and too many better choices that will treat you like it's a resort course and take care of the customers on the course at this price point. I was dehydrated and angry by the time I finished the round. I encourage anyone coming to Hilton Head Island to play golf to look at all of the other better choices first, but this will be the last time I play Port Royal.

Restaurant was great, food was very good and friendly servers. Unfortunately it stopped there, every other golf course staff member was rude or looked like they were annoyed you were there. Course was in average condition and we were glad we didn't play in the morning at ridiculous rates for the experience. The Port Royal courses are not worth the money, much better options in the area.

GolfNow website scheduled me for Thursday when I had booked for Friday. Got charged twice for one expensive round of golf.

The highlights:

- Staff was SUPER friendly

- Greens were excellent and the highlight of the course

- Layout is challenging but not unforgiving.

- New carts are comfortable

- Lots of facilities out on the course

- 36 holes tee of from the same clubhouse

- Incredible practice facilities

Needs a little work:

- Fairways are not quite there yet

- Would appreciate GPS for the price

- Pace of play is slow but they do have Marshalls.

- Only have one bev cart for 36 holes.

Overall a great afternoon. Would play again

Our foursome booked a tee time for 18 on golfnow just after 4:20pm. We loaded our carts are were told by starters/cart guys we were not going to play 18 in time (we did with plenty of time to spare, well before cart return time)… they were seemingly mad that we even showed up.

I’ve played this course multiple times and this is the worst shape it has ever been in. Greens patchy, rough and fairway are indistinguishable in many spots - a shame for a pretty nice layout. It’s going to be a rough summer here if it’s looking like this in April.

Fix your course, get some employees that enjoy being at a golf course, and don’t advertise and charge for 18 at 4pm if your staff is going to disapprove.

Spend your $$ elsewhere.

We had a lovely day for golf and enjoyed the course. Lovely and very nice, professional staff.

Best value on HHI. Got in late afternoon round so pace not an issue. Tees good, fairways good, greens really good. Matthew in the shop was super friendly. Karen on the bev cart was too. Jay the ranger was chill. Ben and BT the outside guys were great. It ain’t cheap, but overall Port Royal remains the best golf experience on the island from location, range, course conditions, and staff friendliness. I’d give it 10 thumbs up if I could. Highly recommend.

Greens were more challenging than the rest of the course. Planning your angle to the greens is muy importante!

No delays and the pace was good for a Sunday starting out a noon. Staff is super friendly. Only saw one gator in the water hazard left fairway approaching the green, a five footer hiding under the leaves at the water’s edge!

Cheers!

We enjoyed it very much. Would be even better with a map of how the course is laid out on the back of the scorecard. And distance estimates to view from the cart would be very nice.

Nature at its best with a variety of birds, flowers and water ponds. Course poses a variety of challenges. Fairways are fairly dry and the greens seem in good condition. Will certainly return as this was our first visit.
