We played it because it was close to where we are staying. We were started late because they were backed up, and it took 3 hours to play 9 holes because it was so backed up. We had a wedding rehearsal to go to and knew we wouldnt get 18 in at the pace we were going, so we got a rain check for 9 holes. We came back a few days later to play 9 holes with our rain check. We were charged $17.48 each to use our rainchecks for 9 holes. Both rounds were played on weekdays around the same time of day, so the rates shouldve been the same, and we assumed that our rain check would cover it. Kyle McManus was very rude while checking us in, and could not very well explain why we were charged that much extra. He just kept repeating "its going to cost $17.48" and was unwilling to work with us or adequately explain the situation. The starter was also pretty rude. Based on quality of service, I would rate it 1 star. The course was OK, but there were grass clippings covering all of the fairways. It is not worth the green fees. We also got yelled obscenities at by a guy living on the course who said the course was dumping branches in his yard. It looked like he was standing inside the white stakes, so Im not sure if his claims were valid. Either way it was not a good experience. We had much better experiences at other courses. With all of the other options around the island, I recommend not playing Shipyard.

DO NOT READ THE OLD REVIEWS BEFORE SUMMER OF 2010!!! This course has completely done a 180. Since redoing their greens I can easily say they roll very true and most of the time are one of the fastest greens on the island. The fairways were a dark green during the dry period that is happening now and compared to all the other courses Ive played (Port Royal, Oyster Reef, Palmetto Hall, Rose Hill, Eagles Point) this one has alot to offer. Dont expect much from the bag drop but the cart lady and bartenders are very nice. The only complaint I have with the course is that when its windy, it blows on the range from left to right usually which completely throws off my warm up but that is minor. Shipyard is a great 27-hole facility and I recommend it.

Read the reviews about the staff and they must have improved drastically. I had a very pleasant experience with the staff. Wanted to rate higher than 3, but couldnt quite go a 4. Courses were good and well maintained. My main complaint is that I did not like the course design, there were too many water hazards for me and my wife. We are only moderate golfers so we lost many, many balls. Other than that, there was an old feeling to the place and it did not feel up to date. It had an 80s feeling. Prices were pretty good for a resort golf course.

Ive been coming to Hilton head for years and have played a lot of courses in the area. We played shipyard the last two days and both times were a disappointment! Of all the courses in Hilton head to play this would be the last resort!! The course wasnt bad but the personnel was very pushy and undesirable to be around. The P should be changed to a T

The golf courses are maintained fairly well but the staff can be very rude. When I most recently played there was a man in a loud maintenance vehicle behind me while I was teeing off and the motor was very distracting. He followed my family for 3 holes before finally passing us. It really ruined those holes for us.

It was the day after 4" of rain ( and 7 days after 12 " of rain) therefore cart path only and very slow greens. I am a moderate golfer so this means the course was fun but tough. Lots of water means lots of alligators !! ( something you dont see in the Midwest). I had a great time golfing there.

We played here over Labor Day weekend. The guy taking our bags was rude, and the starter was worse. They made us feel like we were intruding! The course was wet from a hard rain the night before, but still in very good condition. The greens were in very good shape, but were extremely slow.

Course is "ok". Greens are weird. They are spongy but they are fine. Some staff seemed cool, most seem to hope you would die right on the spot. Hourly people are bothered that they have to do work. But this issue of jerks working at fold courses in HH, seems to be a chronic issue.

Chris Bidwell

Nice design and course but definitely lower end golf comparable to a municipal golf course in the Midwest. If you can get a cheap deal it is ok but not worth higher price tag. Range is limited and not very extensive with conditions less than desired. Staff was nice.

Rob Anderson

Awesome golf course! Better Staff! Lost my wedding ring on the course and Shipyard employee Jordan Gaston tracked us down on Facebook with no previous history, found us and shipped me back the ring! Incredible. Glad people like this still exist! Thanks again Jordan!!

James Coleman

The staff was exceptionally nice in assisting the golfers. The Brickyards customer service and prices were just also very good. This is a very friendly place to golf and the golf course was a good experience.

Bill Whyte

Course in good shape and everyone from check-in to starter to cart girl to clubhouse was super nice and friendly. We played the day after Thanksgiving and had a great time. Will do it again next year.

Had a wonderful time and nice course Challenging but very forgiving However there was no water on the course except for the cart lady and we only saw her twice during our eighteen

Rudest customer service that Ive dealt with for years. The golf course is fine but the staff is awful. If youre considering this place, just go somewhere else.

Great evening - appetizers and drinks on the outdoor patio overlooking the golf course on a beautiful day! Thanks Candace for the great service.

Brad Levander

Greens were in great shape, course was fun and staff were tremendously helpful. Will play here again when in town.

Nice course in a beautiful setting. Some of the staff were a little bit rude, but overall an okay experience.

Karen Boyce

Course is in good shape. Just wish I would have played better but that is not the fault of the course.

David DeBruhl

Good course but the staff is not the friendliest group of people Ive ever met.
