Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa

The course is in great shape. The pace of play was 4:10, which is great for the HHI. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The starter got us out early in front of group of 20 players, VERY considerate.

Restaurant was great, food was very good and friendly servers. Unfortunately it stopped there, every other golf course staff member was rude or looked like they were annoyed you were there. Course was in average condition and we were glad we didn't play in the morning at ridiculous rates for the experience. The Port Royal courses are not worth the money, much better options in the area.

GolfNow website scheduled me for Thursday when I had booked for Friday. Got charged twice for one expensive round of golf.

The highlights:

- Staff was SUPER friendly

- Greens were excellent and the highlight of the course

- Layout is challenging but not unforgiving.

- New carts are comfortable

- Lots of facilities out on the course

- 36 holes tee of from the same clubhouse

- Incredible practice facilities

Needs a little work:

- Fairways are not quite there yet

- Would appreciate GPS for the price

- Pace of play is slow but they do have Marshalls.

- Only have one bev cart for 36 holes.

Overall a great afternoon. Would play again

Fairways were not in great shape. Parts were bare or very thin with grass. Greens were fine.

Our foursome booked a tee time for 18 on golfnow just after 4:20pm. We loaded our carts are were told by starters/cart guys we were not going to play 18 in time (we did with plenty of time to spare, well before cart return time)… they were seemingly mad that we even showed up.

I’ve played this course multiple times and this is the worst shape it has ever been in. Greens patchy, rough and fairway are indistinguishable in many spots - a shame for a pretty nice layout. It’s going to be a rough summer here if it’s looking like this in April.

Fix your course, get some employees that enjoy being at a golf course, and don’t advertise and charge for 18 at 4pm if your staff is going to disapprove.

Spend your $$ elsewhere.

I was trying to determine which course to play in this area. Since I am staying on this property I decided to play this course, 3 minutes away.

People at the course were very accommodating and nice. That is where the good ended.

Pace of play was horrendously slow, ranger apologized several times. A few groups during the 2nd 9 quit playing.

We had 4 groups at one time on hole 10.

The fairways were sparse and the small greens had weeds and poiana in them.

Fortunately I paid a discounted rate. If I had pay full fare I would have asked for a refund.

I just can't believe this course was rated at 4 stars.

Very nice course. Great amenities. Barony features a lot of right to left shots. Not long but fun.

We had a lovely day for golf and enjoyed the course. Lovely and very nice, professional staff.

The course layout was fun and the people couldn’t be nicer. The Pro came out and asked how we were doing and when I mentioned the pace was a little slow he said the players ahead of us were members and he would ask them to let us play through. I declined but it was great that he asked. Fast true greens.

Best value on HHI. Got in late afternoon round so pace not an issue. Tees good, fairways good, greens really good. Matthew in the shop was super friendly. Karen on the bev cart was too. Jay the ranger was chill. Ben and BT the outside guys were great. It ain’t cheap, but overall Port Royal remains the best golf experience on the island from location, range, course conditions, and staff friendliness. I’d give it 10 thumbs up if I could. Highly recommend.
