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.

Tough conditions compared to other nearby courses
Robbers Row is a tough track this time of year. They don’t overseed the fairways and the dormant Bermuda is so thin and trampled that you’re playing off dirt for most fairway shots. The green are green but don’t putt true at all. The price was decent but it was a frustrating round because of the course condition. It might be better in April or May.
Checking out Port Royal golf
Very fun layout and some challenging holes.
Winter conditions and they don’t overseed, however balls will roll longer on the dormant fairways.
One big negative is that we were behind a group of SIX players.
A little rough
Fun layout. Grass a bit worn out and slightly thin. For the price, was worth the play. Received small bag of range balls which was nice. Staff friendly and clubhouse area very nice.
Good conditions
The conditions were good for the time of the year. The course has not done a winter oversees so you hit off brown grass everywhere except the tees. I think they were charging a little more than they should for those conditions.
Condtions
The course is never in the condition it should be.
