Fair value

Fairways need some growing in -- expected in mid-March. Greens were very good. Bunkers good use a bit of sand. I'd play it again at the right price.

Slightly underwhelming

I was hoping for more. Nice track. Greens in good shape. Fairways, not so much. Most courses here are public. This really felt like a public course. Staff was more interested in getting you through the gauntlet than making sure you enjoyed your round.

Dry. Dry. Dry.

Dormant Bermuda fairways, dryest I've seen so far on the island. Lots of roll but often hard to find a decent fairway lie.
Greens excellent however, fast and true roll.

Nice design

The course has a nice design with many doglegs and well trapped greens
The spring conditions have the fairways with very dry conditions and limited growth of green grass
The greens held shots well and were consistently smooth for putting

Shipyard HHI is a great track

First of all Shipyard has one of the best staff on HHI. Unfortunately, the pace of play was very slow, 4:45. However this is a very busy time on HHI with winter golf trips happening, as usual. The course is not in great shape right now as things are just starting to grow on HHI. The greens are very good despite the early season. Today we felt like we were watching the grass grow in lieu of playing golf. Is not normal. Shipyard is a great network of 3, 9 hole courses and are all great and fun to play.

Great course, very slow play on Sunday afternoon

I love the Shipyard course with 3 different nines. The pace of play on a Sunday afternoon was very poor but I understand couples enjoy playing at this time of the week. We waited on every hole and I felt bad for the group in front as they were not very good and took many shots then eventually picked up. We left the course 6 holes early because we couldn't stand the wait. Greens were is great shape and the overseeded fairways are coming in nicely. Overall, great course, but way too crowded!

Poor customer service

The starter on this course was a little short with clients acted like he was doing us a favor by letting us play the person on the course checking golf cart numbers was very short and maybe he needs a new task
The course itself is way over played maybe they should take fewer players the second nine was horrible I know we still have some winter conditions but the course is unplayable in spots
