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.

Loved playing this course!
This is our first time visiting Hilton Head. We picked 4 courses to play golf on during our stay here. This has been one of our favorites so far. It was in beautiful shape, has a great layout, was challenging without being impossible. The staff was very friendly. It was a great experience! Would highly recommend this course to our friends.

Good course
Been playing this course for years. Newer golf carts. Fairways and greens is very good condition. Very popular course as earlier tees times were harder to come by. Book early

Good Layout - punched greens
Love the layout on this course, but the greens had been aerated recently and were very slow. Wish they had told us before we booked this course.
jjohnson9,
Thank you for your review and comments. Sorry you were't notified about aeration prior to booking. We'll share your feedback with our team so we can get better.
Hope to see you again on your next visit,

Great day
Course in good shape. Fairways a little dry, but helped with driver roll! Always enjoy Robbers!
Thank you for your review and feedback on course conditions. It has been dry and the course does play a little shorter with the extra roll. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Recommend Robbers Row
Layout good & challenging. Beautiful surroundings which made it worthwhile w/o even playing. Greens B+. Around greens graded C as they were scruffy. Thin Bermuda made chipping somewhat unfair.
Overall, not manicured, but fun. Great staff, great practice facilities.
Would recommend

Good warm up. Nothing spectacular.
We golfed RR our first day of vacation. Had one higher handicap in the group, so the less challenging, more open layout worked for her. I was a bit underwhelmed.
