The Barony Course at Port Royal Golf Club constitutes 18 of this well-known island facility's 54 holes.
Playing to just 6,543 yards from the gold tees, Barony is a very enjoyable course for all skill levels. The back nine in particular is a fine mix of long and short holes. Like its sister courses at Port Royal, Barony begins and ends at the club's beautiful Antebellum-style clubhouse.
From the tee, many of the holes on Barony appear to be relatively open. But as you approach the green the real challenge of the course becomes clear. The greens are small and protected by deep bunkers and Bermuda rough, demanding an excellent touch with the medium and short irons. This is a course where accuracy, not length is the key factor.

Short Game
Greens were moderately quick, fairly easy to read with breaks taking hold near the hole as putts slowed. Greens were generally elevated and well bunkered.
Fair amount of water, some hidden.
Don't need to be long but tree lined fairways will gobble up slices and hooks.
Very enjoyable course that makes you think. Must be good with the wedges or you won't score.
