Hilton Head Island, South Carolina | 18 holes | Par: 72 | 6675 yards
A Pete Dye redesign of a George Cobb original design helped take the Robber's Row Course at Port Royal Golf Club toward the head of the pack on Hilton Head.
A Pete Dye redesign of a George Cobb original design helped take the Robber's Row Course at Port Royal Golf Club toward the head of the pack on Hilton Head. Dye added or redesigned 43 bunkers on the front nine, changing par from 35 to 36 and did some shortening on the back nine to change par from 37 to 36.
The golf course plays little more than 6,000 yards, with a somewhat-friendly 124 slope rating from the tips. Players will have to do some work on their approach shots, as the Cobb/Dye design keeps its greens well protected with bunkers.
The golf course is a scenic delight, however, and in a nice move, you get history lessons at the tee boxes to help let you know the past of the area you are playing, which was once an important location in the Civil War.
