Great Round of Golf

Weather was perfect! Course was in pretty good shape....greens were fast! ...only complaint would be that a few of the greens had some bad areas of growth. Staff was excellent and very accommodating. Ate lunch at the grille and was excellent (both food & service).

Slow play is killing golf

At times there were three 4-somes on a hole and not a par 5. After the 7th hole we waited at least 10 minutes to tee off on each hole. I asked the ranger why it was so slow? He said that a very old gentleman was causing the backup. Well, can't they allow groups to play through? Why would they allow 1 person to kill the pace of play for an entire course? Do your job!

Pro shop staff was super welcoming and friendly. Found Fred the starter to be extremely rude and probably not the best person to put in that position. Pace was a bit slow, but not a huge issue. Enjoyed the Robbers Row course a lot. And food in the grill and staff was excellent afterwards!!!

Nice

Fun layout. We didn’t see another group all day.

Some greens had some grass issues but it got better after the first few holes.

Fun day.

Hilton Head golf outing

Reserved tee time for Robber.s Row. Was switched to Barony due to private outing. I was a single sandwiched between 4 foursomes which gave me plenty of time to play several balls and get some needed practice in. Was not sure I would get the round in due to rain on and off all day. Turns out I was rained out by the 14th hole. Besides all that I had a great time and pro shop assistant was very welcoming ing and polite to deal with. I would return and play again in the future.

Fun course

Bogey golfer. Course is in port royal and very close to Westin. Short and tight. Greens were soft at the time. First tee time out and had to navigate the keeps. Great shape overall and would play again.

Save your Money

Course was very dry. Bunkers had not been raked and it was like hitting on a cement sidewalk. The greens looked like they had been severely mistreated. Would not recommend or play this course again. Very disappointed.

Thank you for your review and rating. We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience at Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club. As you mentioned, some of our bunkers on Barony were washed out due to tropical storm Idalia. Our golf course maintenance team is in the process of reconditioning them this week. Hope you'll give us another try when you have an opportunity.

Fairly standard Hilton Head resort course

Robbers Row was fine. Played on a late Sunday PM with my son and his friend, who are new golfers. We were basically alone, which was perfect.

Fairways and greens both in good conditions, greens not very fast but probably cut longer for summer heat. Like most Hilton Head courses, it’s not long but very tight. My son donated a lot of golf balls to the surrounding area.

I marked the course down because the bunkers weren’t playable…basically hard pan concrete, which defeats the purpose. Definite area where course could improve.

Back 9 more memorable than front, with 2 strong par 4s to start and a good par 5 with tee shot over marsh that was memorable.

Staff was friendly and relaxed, befitting late afternoon holiday weekend. I appreciate them.

Robber row is great

Friendly staff, free range balls and nice practice area. Course was empty and was able to play in under 3 hours. Sweat.

Robbers Row

It was the first time I played this courses and probably the last. The course itself was in good condition and gave some challenge on certain shots. Upon arrival we had found out it was cart path only, which given the weather conditions we had the night before I wasn't surprised. With that being said I knew that would slow pace of play down just a bit. When the rangers had came around to check on the course they were extremely rude on the way they spoke to us and how they handled the situation of telling us about the pace which was not far from regular pace. Take it for what it is, we personally were turned off by that experience and will not return to this course.

Staff not friendly

I booked on line and paid on line.The staff found my booking but I still had to pull up confirmation email that I booked and paid on line. What if I deleted my email. This is a hassle that could be avoided. The staff requested that I find the confirmation email in order for me and my guest to play. My tee time was at 3 pm on 8/10/23.I booked on 8/4/23.

Enjoyable even with the heat

Second time I’ve played here and was an enjoyable round . The conditions weren’t the best with the heat and the greens were punched but they discounted the round with an aeration special so that was nice. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a good time.
