Barony at Port Royal Golf Club
About
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.

Port Royal Barony Course
Average course W/ average layout nothing that stands out. Course was dry; T boxes so hard had to use a driver to pound the T in. Fairways needed water as well. Greens OK but a little slow. A little maintenance would go a long way, including working the bunkers.
Don't particularly like playing next to houses on every hole and it looks like 2 of the 3 courses wind through the houses
I would only give it an average rating even if they even attempted to maintain the course for the above reasons. Just nothing that stands out unless you really like driving a golf cart for miles.
Too many courses to try down here before I'd replay this one.
One bright note: staff was very friendly and helpful ; maybe they can train the grounds keepers
Port royal Barony
Very nice setting. Practice range, putting, chipping and pitching. Pro shop took quite awhile to find my res. Then asked me to write out my credit card info for renting clubs. That puts the renter at risk of having info stolen. Pro shop gave me a slip for the starter and had someone else’s name on it. The cart had the wrong course card on it. Fairways were spotty. Greens good. Some very nice holes bot others were overly wide. Lots of bunkers and water. No Marshall’s to check pace of our very slow play.
Slowest play I’ve ever seen at a place like this
Course conditions were about the same as anything else you will play in the area. The staff wasn’t friendly and the pace of play was 5.5 hours with no ranger we played the last 4 holes as a 5 some and still caught the group in front every hole. In my opinion take your money elsewhere.
Port Royal Barony
Friendly staff, great course, good pace of play, and reasonable rates.
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.
Fantastic Experience all around
Course was in good condition, staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. The GM was absolutely awesome. They picked the right person for the role.
