Course Highlights
The staff at Port Royal Robber's Row consistently earn high praise for their welcoming and attentive service throughout the round. The course layout rewards strategic play with generous fairways that still offer meaningful challenges on every hole.

About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6657 yards
Slope 134
Rating 73.3

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.

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.

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.

Fun course.

The layout was very cool. Very varied. Greens rolled nicely. Rough, however, was a bit scruffy. Also, saw no attempt to blow leaves off the course.

Rough conditions

Fairs and greens were a little rough. The rough along the fairways was none existent and just dirt covered by pine needles. Greens were slow and in rough shape from patrons not repairing them.

Bunkers were a little trashy and unkept
