Shipyard GC
Shipyard Golf Club: like the spokes of a wheel radiating out from the central clubhouse, the Shipyard's 27-holes are split between the original George Cobb-designed Galleon and Clipper-nines, and the slightly newer Willard Byrd-designed Brigantine-nine.
Nestled within Hilton Head’s natural setting of majestic Carolina pine trees, flowering magnolias and moss draped oaks, the Shipyard delivers a classic South Carolina gofing experience.
Meandering through the woodland, and past some discreetly tucked-away housing, the three nine-hole loops contain a testing mix of straightaway and doglegging holes. Water plays its part here, with several hole-flanking ponds to be avoided, not least at the par-3s.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Between 1982 and 1984 Shipyard Golf Club played host to the PGA Senior Tour's Hilton Head Seniors International tournament. In its subsequent years, the event moved to the Planter's Row course at Port Royal (now closed), and for two years (1986, '87) the revered Harbour Town Links.
Shipyard GC is a member of the Virginia-based Heritage Golf Group. The Heritage Collection includes several top rated golf properties in California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina and South Carolina.
