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.

Robbers Row Review

Had a 7am tee time on a Monday, group in front of us was really moving. We played our round in 3.5 hours which was amazing.

Course condition and layout was excellent. Greens were maybe a touch slow in the morning given dampness. Course is fair.

Would definitely play again.

False advertising

Booked online. At rate of $120. When my friend arrived, he asked for the local rate as he was a local resident. The women refused and said he would have to pay $170. He refused see and left. I called the heritage collection and cancelled the tee time. They said no problem. An hour later I received and email from golfnow saying port royal had told them we didn’t show for our tee time and therefore charged me the $240 for 2 players. Port Royal refused to credit me or give me a rain check. I won’t return there

Course conditions have deteriorated since playing here last year, greens are poorly maintained, crabgrass and huge ball marks covered almost every gre

Needs to be mowed more frequently, fairways and tee boxes had not been cut recently (2-3 days). Layout of the course was nice but just didn’t feel like it was on the same level of maintenance as the many other courses on Hilton Head for the same price.

Why are rangers such a-holes?

Overall, a challenging layout. It’s tight, for sure, but off-track balls are definitely findable. Course — in my opinion — has fully recovered from its end-of-May aeration.

The ranger on Monday was having a bad hair day, apparently. We kept up with group in front of us, yet he told us least three times that we were behind pace (easy to figure out…we teed off 10-15 minutes late!). I get that marshaling is a thankless job, but good God, man!, don’t make it your goal to tick people — people on vacation, no less — off!

First Timer

This course was a shot in the dark as I had not played or been to the island before. I booked a tee-time with GolfNow and took a chance. I was not let down. From the first interaction with staff they were friendly and very helpful. The course was in peak condition with the fairways being dang near perfect and the greens rolling true.

Wedding Party

My husband and his groomsmen went to this course for a pre wedding round of golf. It was reported to me by my family that the young man who took care of them in the pro house was rude and racially profiled them to the point of providing poor service. Also, he was very rude to the other female employee, Carol, when she was providing service to the group. We were happy to pay for great service so it was disappointing to hear that basic hospitality was not possible during this visit.

Greens in rough shape, but great layout

The greens were in tough shape as they had just been topdressed before a major rain. Loved everything else and the staff was awesome.

Worth the fee

Overall, the course was in great shape, and the staff was very friendly; however, the pace of play was a challenge.

Several groups ahead of us were playing very slowly; however, I do not blame the course for the delays.

I highly recommend you playing this course if you are visiting Hilton Head!!!

It was a pleasure to play this course!!!

Robber’s Row didn’t disappoint

Overall, course layout, degree of difficulty, and playability very good. It was aerated a week prior, so greens still sandy and bumpy. But priced to account for greens.

Interesting history description in markers describing the land during the civil War.

Good course.

The courteous employees. Especially the fella width the Boston accent. I appreciate a bit of humor. I golfed at a couple other courses before this one on the island. I feel obligated to point out that the green conditions were not the best as compared with the other places I golfed on the island wit comparable prices. But, I would return because we always stay at a nearby hotel.
