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.

Price was not right
My only disappointment came when checking in. Even though our timeshare agreement, has this course as a it feature with low greens fee, We were charged full price because we used Golf Now. I used GN to ensure an early morning tee time. Had I waited for the timeshare schedule of available tee times we would have had to play in a 112 degree real feel temp. I do not think it fair I was charged full price, even though i had proof of our timeshare discount. So I was penalized for using Golf Now to arrange a time.
Could be better
Played the course in the afternoon with 2 other guys. Starter/bag guy was just there to take tips. Golf shop staff was great and explained the beverage cart was gone for the day, which I get when they’re slow. Layout is great but conditions were not. Thin, disease, and slow greens. Irrigation started when we had four holes to play. Couldn’t finish the round and still had 2 hours of daylight.
Great Day at Robber's Row
Today was my first time playing at Port Royal Robber's Row. I dropped my bag off and it was loaded onto the cart for me. I went into the nice club house to pay. It was nice to hear that range balls were included in the price of the round. The started directed me to the nice range. There was also a nice putting green and a short game area. The started told me to be back 8 minutes before my tee time.
The ride from the starter to the first tee is kind of far but it was not a problem to find. The course was in good shape except for a few of the greens on the back 9. They had a dead spots on the end of the green.
The greens are small. The pace of play was rather slow on the front 9. It was much better on the back 9 thanks to the slow moving group only playing 9 holes. Total time was 4 hours 10 minutes. The front 9 was 2.5 hours!
I would definitely play here again.
Typical HH course-with a plus
Having played several HHI courses, this one is on par with the rest. Paid a lot more to play Fazio course and wasnt impressed. Better value here. Free junior golf clubs and free play for my young one had me bringing my other kids back to play here on consecutive days. Also-one of these days the pace was awful due to a tournament and the pga pro came and got us and placed us on the open course Robber’s Row. I liked this layout very much but Barony was nice as well.
Highly recommend this course
I highly recommend this course. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition and the staff is very friendly. Gary.
Good course
The staff were wonderful. The amenities included were second to none. The course was average condition. Greens were on the small side, grass coverage was ok, greens were of a mixed grass blend. The cart paths were very good and concrete. Facilities were in great shape. The fairways showed signs of excessive watering on the course we played. The bunkers were in great shape.
Great value at better venue
Lots of history among tee boxes. They really pack players onto course but overall pace was ok. I will definitely play again on next trip.
Course was healing from aeration, would love to see it at its BEST.
Great day
The course is in good course. Greens were aerated recently…but hit it firm!
Robber’s Row
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.
Great course!
This course was challenging but fun! It was in great shape, everyone was friendly and staff very courteous and helpful.
