Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good course, use GolfNow for lower rates
A great day, course conditions were pretty good despite it being a windy day. Use GolfNow for lower rates, I was able to get a round for $90 despite the regular fee being $160. Course not worth $160 USD, although a fun layout and challenging approach shots.
First time on the Course
We were looking for a course with good value, RR at Port Royal fit the bill. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We were a threesome and teed off at 12:52, and the round felt slow, (behind twosome and a couple 4somes in front of them) but finished 9 in 2:15 and 18 in 4:15. Fairways were a little rough, but the greens were the very good,very true, and a offered a good roll. White tees plated short, and is not friendly to hookers. I’d go back and move to the blue tees.
Well administered; well run; greens in nice condition; fun layout;

Pete Dye design.
Not overly long but classic Pete Dye design. You know where you’re supposed to hit it and if you don’t hit it there you’re in trouble.

Early morning
If they are going to book a 7:08 tee time then they should have people in place to accommodate that. We were there early but the starter wasn’t in place until 7:02 which gave us no time to hit range balls. We also had to stop on the 3rd hole to let the greens mower get done and get ahead of us.

HH2022 First Time!
Course layout was very interesting and fun to play. Challenging for moderate players but forgiving. Fairways were thin but greens were in great condition. Water hazards seem to come out of nowhere on the front nine.
