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.

Nice Course

This was a fun and challenging course in good condition. Greens were very good and the layout was great!

Staff was so-so and they barely have any drinking water on the course.

Good and bad

The staff was friendly and helpful. The greens were well manicured. The tee boxes were in sad shape and some fairways needed major attention. Pace of play was 5 hours.

“A little backed up”

We checked in for our 2:04 tee time, were told they were “a little backed up”. We actually teed off at 2:35, and had a wait on nearly every teebox. Pace of play was poor, no Ranger in sight to keep things moving. Otherwise, a typical resort island course, friendly enough for beginners, and just challenging enough for the better golfer.
