Shipyard Golf Club, located on the South End of Hilton Head Island, offers terrific value on its three 9-hole layouts designed by the legendary George Cobb and Willard Byrd featuring shade tolerant Diamond Zoysia greens that don’t need to be over-seeded in the winter. With 27 holes there’s always an opening for a quick 9, different 18 hole combinations or that extra 9! That kind of flexibility also allows for family only options with special tees and even scorecards. Shipyard’s outdoor lawn located next to Alligator Cove-famous for its abundance of wildlife-is also a terrific gathering place for around of corn-hole, horseshoes or badminton, all surrounded by the Island Oaks, Island themed music and the Caribbean tastes of the Chef, including home-made pineapple and mango relishes service with hot dogs, salads and a variety of pork and jerk chicken entrees.

The 27 holes at Shipyard Golf Club epitomize coastal resort golf: oak and magnolia-lined fairways, plentiful bunkers and water hazards, and well protected greens. Thus accuracy trumps length in order to score well on the Clipper, Galleon and Brigantine nines. Play these George Cobb designs in any rotation and you’ll understand how seamlessly the island’s golf courses fit into their natural settings. You’ll also gain a healthy respect for the local alligator populations; they are plentiful in Shipyard, particularly in and around the lagoons on the Brigantine course. It’s just another noteworthy distraction at Shipyard, which hosted one of the earliest PGA Champions tour events, the Hilton Head Seniors International from 1982 to 1984. The club remains a Lowcountry favorite under the guidance of the Heritage Golf Group.

The people at the Heritage Collection on Hilton Head Island, who bring you more Island golf than anyone- 7 very different courses with 135 exciting holes are celebrating those differences in the revitalization of their on-and off-course experiences. They’re out to make golf more interesting, more challenging, and absolutely more fun than ever before.
