About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6878 yards
Slope 133
Rating 74.0

The Clipper/Galleon Course at Shipyard Golf Club, which combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses on the property, creates an exciting combination of long fairways and perilous hazards. Clipper/Galleon has a rating of 74, with a slope of 133 from the championship tees.

With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1970, Clipper requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.

Galleon, the original nine holes, meanders through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

Decent course

Like a lot of northerners, I think the price is not comparable to the quality we have for less. But I get that we are in season (end of April). The fairways and greens were in good shape. I was a single and was with some nice guys. We enjoyed the round. The price was reasonable for around here, using GolfNow and applying a credit, I think it was $90 on a Tuesday afternoon.
