Robber's Row at Port Royal Golf Club

I love Robber's Row. Played in mid June and conditions were great. This past time on July 29th the course was not looking good. Tee boxes were full of patches and dead grass, greens as well with lingering aeration marks from three weeks prior. Fairways and bunkers hurting too.

However, always a fun layout to play. Just wish they would get the conditions back on par with the other courses in the area.

We enjoyed the course. Very friendly staff. Well maintained facility. Good selection of cold beer on the course and after the round at the pub. We will play it again.

Honestly the course was top notch for a resort golf course. The greens were recently punched so they rolled poorly but that’s life. The fairways were in great shape and the course was imaginative at times. All in all the golf was fun.

Now for the rough part. The cart staff and starter were friendly enough but there is no “turn”. All 18 holes are away from the clubhouse and the beverage cart is the only option for food and drink throughout the course. This needs to be told to the golfers prior to their round.

There are zero water coolers (god forbid you give free ice and water when each golfers pays $120+) and we ran out of water on the 8th hole. We saw the beverage cart on the 8th hole and never saw it again the rest of the round. Again, terrible service but I can maybe let that go. At the end of the round I mentioned this when buying an overpriced hat for my son and the grown man (50s at least) stared at me like I was stupid.

I would absolutely not recommend this course to anyone unless the price falls to $75 or less. When on vacation the expectation is to have a good service experience. This course went out of their way to do the opposite. Spend your money elsewhere. Old South, Hilton Head National, Indigo Run, and Oyster Reef are significantly better experiences. Good luck!

Course is over priced but less than several other island courses. Several poor tees along with greens with dead spots. No drinks or snacks available on course. Bugs were awful. Always like to be told ahead of time that greens have been aerated. Staff and clubhouse are very good.

The course was nice. It was aerated in June and still bumpy when we played on July 20th but they were not too bad. The layout is nice. It gives you a lot of different looks. Short tight par 4’s , long par 4’s, straight holes, dog legs both right and left, different length par 3’s. It was tight but not unfair. Overall it was a real good course and I’d recommend it to anyone to play.

Two disappointing things. Our tee time was for 8:12 AM and they were already 15 minutes behind. That is poor management. How do you get 15 minutes behind by 8:12? Also, the starter was not pleasant at all. I think his name was Richard Head..

Course was in good shape. Greens aerated a couple weeks ago, but nearly healed and rolled well. Staff was top notch, friendly and helpful. It's a tight track & you must think your way around the course.

Nice course. Good people. Only two minor issues…Was given the scorecard to the wrong course. And biggest challenge was no awareness that we didn’t swing back by the club house/grill at the turn. Teed off at 11 and didn’t realize when we saw the food cart early it was our only shot at food/drink until 2 pm.

Very welcoming staff in both the pro shop and club house. They made us aware that greens had been recently aerated and issued us a significant discount.

Course was in great shape despite Elsa passing in the last week.

Would highly recommend this course and this team.

Did not play Robbers Row. We got stuck on Barony instead. Hated the course. Hundreds of sand traps sometimes three bunkers in front and two behind. Staff great. Pace play was miserable.
