Terrific greens

Played half a dozen courses in late January. Fairways are about the same in more expensive courses. The greens at shipyard are faster, true as and smooth. Medium long base on playing ability. Very enjoyable round.

Great place to play

There isn’t a golf course on the island where you will be treated better than Shipyard. The staff members are so friendly, accommodating, and professional. The course is in excellent shape. I purchased a 2 month winter special through Heritage Golf. I have the choice of 6 courses with this package. I expect to play shipyard the most. In my opinion, you will not be disappointed playing this course….

A Solid Value During the Winter

The course has 3 nines and all play about the same. Golfers need to hit the ball well to score - lots of forced carries and doglegs. The grass used for the greens does not grow in the winter; they dye the grass green and roll the greens daily, resulting in fast but true greens. The pace of play was just over 4 hours.

Worth Playing

This is a 27-hole layout with a decent range, chipping area, and putting green. Interesting layout including force carries, dog legs, and a good mixture of par 3, 4, and 5 holes. The pace of play was around 4 hours. Greens are interesting as grass goes dormant in the winter, dyed, and rolled making for fast putting.
