The course is in great shape

The fairways and greens were as good as they get. Pace was good and on course marshals were polite and efficient.

Great Course

First time we had played this course and we had a great day. Course was fair but challenging at the same time! We will play it again when back to the area.

Nice Fall Outing

Travel to Hilton Head repeatedly to enjoy playing multiple courses. Shipyard has a unique layout that allows you to play three different nine holes. While almost every hole has water, most players have a chance at par. But that doesn’t mean that birdies are easy to come by. My partner makes sure they have extra water balls too… Because there’s No Way they’re going near to the water because of the silent but deadly Gators that lurk around.

The greens are in incredible shape. You definitely have to have a delicate touch as your ball will roll a long way. Green side bunkers are soft and are challenging with a variety of depths that ensure that part of your game better be ready. They are also positioned in ways to make the openings to the greens narrow .

While we enjoy playing as many courses possible, this is one that I’m ready to squeeze in again!

Great course and very helpful staff.

Excellent hospitality at the Pro shop desk and the bag drop. The course was in great condition and very playable from the tees.
Also, I accidentally left my bag at the course and when I returned the next morning the staff had stored my clubs for me for pickup.
I highly recommend this course.

I rated this course good but it was at the top of the good rating. Staff were very friendly. It was a great golfing day for our group. Pace was about 4 1/2 hours but that has become the norm at resort golf.

Great course for any level of golfer.

Shipyard was a wonderful course to play. It was in beautiful condition and well maintained. Our foursome was a senior foursome and from the up tees we could have a great experience with an opportunity for some success if we hit quality shots. More accomplished golfers will find a better challenge playing from the back tees. We completely enjoyed our trip around Shipyard and highly recommend it for any level of golfer.

Love this course

I don't have a single complaint about the course. The only flaw was the refreshment cart person totally ignored us twice and we only saw her twice during 18 holes.

Enjoyable Round!

The Shipyard experience has really improved over the past year. It seems like the management has really made a concerted effort to improve the course and overall experience. Kudos to Shipyard on the tine and effort they've put into improving their product. Will play again in June!
