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.

Great golf course
I really enjoyed my round at Robbers Row. The course was in good shape and the greens were very fair - fast enough!

Hot Rate to play on the Island - Worth it
Staff was accommodating to me and my rider. They walked me through the course telling me what holes to take less than driver, and then allowed us to go off alone, no pairings. They told us upfront that we would only see the drink cart once, so make the most of it. Tee boxes and fairways needed some water, but were nice. Greens were awesome. If people would fix their pitch marks they wouldn’t have small dirt spots. But even with that, the hole cut was always on a good portion of grass, and seemed to roll true. We had a great day.

Great layout
This course allows for recovery from missed shots and protects it's greens with sand traps but are playable.

Robbers Row
Course was fine. Very disappointed in a course and location like this on HHI that there was no on course beverage service given that the course was a loop and no turn to clubhouse. Very unusual
u314161986148,
Thank you for you feedback. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. As mentioned, our courses don't return to our clubhouse but we do offer on course beverage services. However, it appears our cart attendant may not have been out when you played. Either way, we are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience.

Challenging but fair
Very challenging course. Beautiful greens. Lots of Watertown and sand. Some tight fairways with hanging trees coming into play
