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.

Absolutely beautiful

This was the first time that I played this course but it won’t be the last. Fantastic greens. Beginning in the pro shop, to the bag drop to the starter, everyone was friendly and pleasant. There isn’t a better deal in Hilton Head

Great course

Wonderful course and friendly staff. Excellent practice facilities. Greens in great shape. Variety of different type holes. Shorter distance from white tees then some of the other area courses which makes playing more fun.

Beautiful course and views

My favorite course of the week and it also came with an incredible deal. This was my most enjoyable round of any visit to Hilton Head. The first hole started out most difficult for me with water all along the right, but from the tee box to the green this course was simply breathtaking. The clubhouse staff were courteous and welcoming, which says welcome home. I highly recommend this course to any skill level and hope you enjoy your time their like I did. Thanks again for a great memory.

Didn't get Robbed at Robbers Row

Very nice track. The staff was very friendly and informative, as it was my first time playing the course.

A few of the holes are tight/narrow and not very long. All expected for a golf course on HHI. The greens were a little slow but in very good shape, which was a positive trade off. It is very nice to see greens with minimal ball marks on them, confirms folks who are playing are fixing their marks. I would definitely play it again. Even the Ohio State Fans i played with were very nice guys.

Go Blue!!!

Worst course on Hilton Head.

For the price they are charging, it’s horrible. They are at a premium price on the island. Conditions are terrible, pace of play wasn’t enforced. You can’t let a foursome of 30+ handicaps tee off and then let another foursome tee off 8 minutes later. Not going to happen. Took 3 hours to play front nine. No yardage book, no water on the course. For $106.00, you’d expect a premium experience. Felt like a local municipal course in every way. Will never play here again.

Learn golf etiquette!

My son and I very much enjoyed our first 6 holes, had to skip 7 and 8 because of SLOW players, who would not let us through!

Need a ranger! Besides that, the round was great! Wonderful people work there and help out. Make sure you try it!
