Vastly improved

I played this course several times during the winter of 2023. The conditions were not very good at that time. The course has improved immensely since then. The fairways are in great shape. The tee boxes also. The greens are very good. Could not rate the bunkers as it was very rainy the previous several days and the bunkers were compact and some had water in them. The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. It was a great day even though my golf game was not so good. :) I will certainly be back and highly recommend the course as a great value.

One of the best values on the Island

I have played this course many times and like it a lot. The clubhouse staff are amazingly friendly and it is really a pleasure to walk in and be greeted with such enthusiasm. The cart staff are efficient and friendly also. The course was in good shape for winter and is just challenging enough for the average golfer.

One concern on this round, which has not been an issue before was the pace of play. It was agonizingly slow. 3 hours for the front 9. Not sure what happened there so I am chalking it up to an aberration.

I will definitely be back.

Good value

I have played this course many times. It has some challenges but not punishing. It was in good shape overall and the greens were in excellent condition.

At $50 - 60 it is a good value. Not sure I would pay $100.
The cart staff is excellent. Very helpful and friendly. I got checked in by a young man who was very friendly and efficient.

I will be back.

Nice Course

I have played most of the courses on Hilton Head and think that Shipyard is the best value. It is well maintained, the staff are helpful, it's challenging, but not exhausting. I love the staff in the clubhouse. They are always super friendly and helpful.. The cart staff are also very nice. I will be back many times.

Favorite Reasonably Priced Course in the Hilton Head Area

I love the set up of this course. Challenging without being brutal. I have always found the condition of the fairways and greens to be good to excellent. The views of the intercoastal are spectacular. Better than most of the pricier courses on the Island.

The staff is always super helpful and pleasant.

I try to play there every time I am in Hilton Head.

Good course/Slow play

I have played this course quite a few times and this experience was unusual. The play was very slow. Over 5 hours for the round. I know the ranger was trying to move folks along, but despite his efforts we waited long periods of time on holes. Also not my usual experience the front desk staff were not very friendly, except for the lady tending the food (she was great).

Normally the cart guys are really friendly and helpful, and they were trying, but you could see that they were under a lot of stress, probably from the slow play. I would definitely give them a pass this time as this is not usual for them.

I will be back hoping for my usual experience,

Excellent Value

I have played this course multiple times and always find it to be a good experience. In my opinion it is the best value on the Island. The fairways are in very good shape and the greens have a few spots with weeds, but nothing that is a problem. The traps are well groomed.

I played on a Monday afternoon and while the course was busy finished in 4 hours. Very acceptable for a public course at this price.

The staff from the cart guys to the starter are very friendly and helpful. One of the front desk staff seemed to wish he was somewhere else and not exactly welcoming. But everyone is entitled to an off day. The other front desk person was very helpful and friendly.

Overall experience is rated as excellent! I will be back many times

Fair price for golf on the Island

The course was in pretty good shape. Only a couple of greens with some spots under repair. Fairways the were well maintained and the bunkers we acceptable. A few could use some additional sand. I like the somewhat forgiving layout of many of the holes with some difficulty built into the others. It provides a challenge, but it does not beat you up.

The staff are great from those behind the desk to the cart guys. Always friendly and helpful.

I have played here multiple times and will be back.

Always a great experience

My favorite course on Hilton Head Island. Always in good shape, extremely friendly and competent staff. We had a frost delay, but the staff worked diligently to get folks out on the course as quickly as possible. Their great attitude made the wait easier. The course has some very challenging holes, but it does not beat you up.

I always go several times when on the Island.

A great course and an even more amazing staff

I have played Port Royal on several occasions and always found it to be in great shape, a good value with friendly helpful staff. But based on our experience yesterday the staff are better than friendly and helpful. They are AMAZING.
My wife and I were at the tee box on the second hole and realized that her phone and purse were missing. We frantically returned to the Clubhouse and began searching for them. The staff immediately jumped in to help out. This was despite the fact that they were very busy getting golfers out on the course. All the staff from the General Manager, to the head of the cart staff to the cart staff themselves were comforting, scouring the carts and the general vicinity for the missing items. They even went out on the course to check with carts that had recently gone out. We can't thank hem enough for their efforts and THEY FOUND THE MISSING ITEMS. Needless to say Port Royal will be our go to course from here on out.

Good Course - but

The course was in great shape. I liked the challenge and it was not so hard that you wanted to quit. I would have given it a 5 rating if not for one issue.

The clubhouse manager assigned me, a 70 year old male, to play with two threesomes made up of a group of ladies golfing together. I doubt that they would have appreciated me tagging along. I don't know if this was lack of attention to the situation or just an oversight.

Fortunately the starter recognized what could have been a challenging situation for all concerned and had me tee off after the group of 6 with another single. He was wonderful, friendly and made my round much more enjoyable. I also have to give kudos to the gentleman handling the bags. He was friendly, courteous and helpful. He is a real asset to your course.

Almost perfect in every way

From the efficient and friendly staff in the pro shop to the excellent conditions of the fairways and greens it made for a very pleasant outing. One which I would do again.

The only negatives were the attitude of the starter. He was very short and abrupt with me because I told him my starting time was 12:53 instead of 12:52. "There is no 12:53 starting time!" Really? Well how about looking at 12:52 and asking my name. Also the waitress in the bar was not the most efficient and friendly person to deal with.

These negatives would not prevent me from playing again, especially considering the great pro shop staff and the condition of the course.

Friendliest and most helpful Staff Ever

The course was in a great location and in fairly good condition. Challenging enough, but did not beat you up.

The best part of the experience however was the friendly and helpful staff. I will play there again because I was treated so well.
