Port Royal Golf Club Hilton Head Island
Imagine 54 holes of legendary golf nestled within one of Hilton Head Island's most pristine plantations along the Atlantic coastline. This golf haven was
designed by some of the best golf architects, such as George Cobb, Pete Dye and William Byrd, and it has been honored with the presence of some
of golf's legendary players, having hosted the Champions TOUR Hilton Head Seniors International.
The new Champion Bermuda greens are small and protected by bunkers and Bermuda rough,
demanding a deft touch with medium and short irons. This is a golf challenge where accuracy, not length, is paramount.
At the Port Royal Golf Club, you can choose your 18-hole pleasure: Barony, Planter's Row, and Robber's Row.
Port Royal Golf Club
Barony Designed by George W. Cobb and built in 1963
Generous fairways and a risk reward approach to the greens are two features on the George Cobb designed course. The back nine is known for its scenic beauty and wonderful layout. As
with any golf course, the scorecard has become a signature of the course as well as a trophy of a great game played.
Planters Row Designed by Willard C. Byrd and built in 1984
Planter's Row was designed by Willard Byrd and built in 1984. This 18-hole course was the Plantation's third course and played host to the Hilton Head Seniors International Golf
Tournament, a former Champions TOUR event. This course offers a different look from its sister courses, with rolling, tree-lined fairways in a park-like setting. Water comes into
play on several holes, and its large and undulating greens require a skilled touch with the putter.
Robber’s Row Designed by George W. Cobb and built in 1967
Redesigned by world famous architect Pete Dye in 1994, this scenic course is cut through beautiful stands of magnolias and live oaks. Rich in history, Robber's Row is set atop
former Civil War grounds on the marsh side of the plantation and features historical markers on several holes describing events relevant to the area. Although tee-shot
landing areas are quite generous, approach shots require accuracy to the well-bunkered greens.
