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.

Shipyard 10/2023

Shipyard was in excellent condition for October; the staff was very friendly and helpful; pace of play was exceptional on Galleon but got a bit slow for the last 4 holes on the Clipper.
We had a very enjoyable visit to Shipyard and look forward to returning.

Playable resort course

No surprises here, just straightforward golf holes. We rode and played in 4 hours 20 minutes, exactly what the pro shop expected. Had a great time and will come back.

Another good experience

Great weather, good conditions (especially the rough, as compared to other courses). The course is in much better shape than others in the area.
