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.

A great afternoon at Robbers
The highlights:
- Staff was SUPER friendly
- Greens were excellent and the highlight of the course
- Layout is challenging but not unforgiving.
- New carts are comfortable
- Lots of facilities out on the course
- 36 holes tee of from the same clubhouse
- Incredible practice facilities
Needs a little work:
- Fairways are not quite there yet
- Would appreciate GPS for the price
- Pace of play is slow but they do have Marshalls.
- Only have one bev cart for 36 holes.
Overall a great afternoon. Would play again
Course in rough shape, starters far from HHI charm
Our foursome booked a tee time for 18 on golfnow just after 4:20pm. We loaded our carts are were told by starters/cart guys we were not going to play 18 in time (we did with plenty of time to spare, well before cart return time)… they were seemingly mad that we even showed up.
I’ve played this course multiple times and this is the worst shape it has ever been in. Greens patchy, rough and fairway are indistinguishable in many spots - a shame for a pretty nice layout. It’s going to be a rough summer here if it’s looking like this in April.
Fix your course, get some employees that enjoy being at a golf course, and don’t advertise and charge for 18 at 4pm if your staff is going to disapprove.
Spend your $$ elsewhere.

We had a lovely day for golf and enjoyed the course. Lovely and very nice, professional staff.
Robbers Row 4-5-25
Best value on HHI. Got in late afternoon round so pace not an issue. Tees good, fairways good, greens really good. Matthew in the shop was super friendly. Karen on the bev cart was too. Jay the ranger was chill. Ben and BT the outside guys were great. It ain’t cheap, but overall Port Royal remains the best golf experience on the island from location, range, course conditions, and staff friendliness. I’d give it 10 thumbs up if I could. Highly recommend.
Challenging enough for all golfers
Greens were more challenging than the rest of the course. Planning your angle to the greens is muy importante!
No delays and the pace was good for a Sunday starting out a noon. Staff is super friendly. Only saw one gator in the water hazard left fairway approaching the green, a five footer hiding under the leaves at the water’s edge!
Cheers!
Fun and challenging
We enjoyed it very much. Would be even better with a map of how the course is laid out on the back of the scorecard. And distance estimates to view from the cart would be very nice.
Amazing natural vegetation setting.
Nature at its best with a variety of birds, flowers and water ponds. Course poses a variety of challenges. Fairways are fairly dry and the greens seem in good condition. Will certainly return as this was our first visit.
Fun golf course
Course was really terrific. Pace was excellent. Only downside was there were no range balls. It wasn’t that crowded. Not sure how this could have happened. In the past, there have always been range balls. However, I do recall they are usually not many available.
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.
