Love this course

I don't have a single complaint about the course. The only flaw was the refreshment cart person totally ignored us twice and we only saw her twice during 18 holes.

Enjoyable Round!

The Shipyard experience has really improved over the past year. It seems like the management has really made a concerted effort to improve the course and overall experience. Kudos to Shipyard on the tine and effort they've put into improving their product. Will play again in June!

Pace of play

Our Group let two players play through.
Instead of hurrying them along we were the ones that got in trouble. It was uncomfortable enough for my wife and I to quit after 9. The staff was courteous and refunded the remaining 9 wholes.

Solid HHI Course

Great weather, great course conditions. Lots of dog legs. Fun course. The price I paid ( under $100) is actually good for the area. Booked on GolfNow the day before. In season can be $40 - $50 more to play mornings. Cheaper after noon.

Surprised

Was warned the pace might be slow, but the pace was 4:20. I'm a very fast player so the pace always challenges me patience wise. But here the pace was fine. The conditions, considering the overseeding season were very good. Staff friendly. I would have like to see a beverage cart more often, but every course is having the same issue finding help. Value for the money is great.

Shipyard exceeded my expectations. It was a very good course and well-maintained. My only criticism was the yardage markers. We were playing on a day when carts were not allowed on the fairway. It was very difficult to judge the yardages, because the only yardage markers were embedded in the fairway and very difficult to see. I wish that courses would stay with the yardage stakes; white for 150 and red for 100. Other than that, great experience!

Very nice course

Enjoyed our round on Galleon & Clipper. The course is fair with some challenges requiring a well thought out and accurate shot. Conditions were quite good. Greens medium paced and pin placements could be tricky.
