Good course but better value on the island.

Course was in excellent shape and the staff was solid. A little pricey considering other comparable courses on the island at half the price.

One of the best

Third time here, and it's definitely one of those courses that's better if you've been there before. Some of the angles are tricky, a few deceptive views/distances/carries, but I'm nit-picking here...it's a very nice track.
A little disorganized at the start when there were some communication problems between the starter's crew resulting in us being checked-in, but not noted as having done so on the starter's list.
But, a minor problem, they got us out very quickly.
Only gripe might be that it's a little expensive in comparison to some of the other 'top shelf' courses on HHI (Golden Bear @ Indigo Run for ex. is better value)
Excellent condition all round, tees, fairways, greens all well manicured

Shipyard Clipper/Galleon

Course is in great shape, greens are rolling true, fairways are well maintained. Course is open with sone water hazards, but not too difficult. Got on right away, played the round in 3:30, not a lot of people around. Very nice.

Could use yardage markers

Good value for a round with my teenage son and his friend. Course was in good shape overall. Some of the bunkers could use some attention. There are no yardage markers except for 100, 150, and 200. That’s it. We played on a weekday afternoon and three of us finished in 3 1/2 hours. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend to others just bring your own range finder.

just not relaxing

course is in good shape. zoysia greens... so built for durability, not speed. lots of water and doglegs so hard to figure out what to hit and where. nothing worse than having to wait on every shot while the group behind you feels the need to tailgate. hitting shots while you're still on the green, riding up while you're trying to tee off after waiting for the group in front of you. there were open holes all over so this is just poor control of tee times.

Hilton Head Gem

Interesting course layout…not every hole starts with a driver. Condition was wonderful. It was like having a private country club course - nobody in front of us, nobody pushing us! Great staff- full of helpful information.

Friendly and Helpful

Everyone at Shipyard was Friendly and Helpful from the folks at the counter to the starter and his staff. The course had a fair share but not too much of water to challenge us. The course was in great shape. Highly recommend. Would play again

Ok Layout

Course was fine and not crowded. But with no GPS, one would think there would be markers on sprinkler heads. But no.
