Great course. Too expensive

Fun course and great experience. Just too expensive for the conditions. Have played better courses in wv for half the price we paid on GolfNow which was already a big discount.

Enjoyable and fast round in December

Arrived 30 minutes ahead of my 9:16 tee time and was greeted warmly by the staff. Got set up, hit some balls, some putts and out to the course, Got an escort to the first hole of the Clipper (I played Clipper then Brigantine 9's) and chatted briefly with the starter (we are both originally from Massachusetts) before starting the round. I was initially worried how the greens would be since the practice green has recently been punched (tiny punches) but the greens on the course were in really good condition.

Played the blue tees since the rating matched closely with my home course. Some of the blue tees were pushed back to the gold lengths, which presented a few challenges I didn't expect, but it was a pleasant round. Played 18 holed in 2:30, nobody ahead of me or behind, only maintenance crews on a few holes.

Everyone there was friendly and in good spirits. The course was in great condition given the time of year. Tee boxes and fairways were very good, greens not too fast and rolling true. It was my first time playing but everything is in front of you so nothing tricky, just straight golf. I would definitely recommend it.

Significantly improved over past years

Clearly management has and is investing to improve this course. Greens were in great condition; fast and true. Fairways need a month or two additional time to fill in but in current condition we still felt that they were far better than anytime in past few years. Only area that I would love to see modified are the bunkers. They were to packed down felt like hitting from hard pan. Plan to definitely return.

Nice Fall Outing

Travel to Hilton Head repeatedly to enjoy playing multiple courses. Shipyard has a unique layout that allows you to play three different nine holes. While almost every hole has water, most players have a chance at par. But that doesn’t mean that birdies are easy to come by. My partner makes sure they have extra water balls too… Because there’s No Way they’re going near to the water because of the silent but deadly Gators that lurk around.

The greens are in incredible shape. You definitely have to have a delicate touch as your ball will roll a long way. Green side bunkers are soft and are challenging with a variety of depths that ensure that part of your game better be ready. They are also positioned in ways to make the openings to the greens narrow .

While we enjoy playing as many courses possible, this is one that I’m ready to squeeze in again!

Great course and very helpful staff.

Excellent hospitality at the Pro shop desk and the bag drop. The course was in great condition and very playable from the tees.
Also, I accidentally left my bag at the course and when I returned the next morning the staff had stored my clubs for me for pickup.
I highly recommend this course.
