02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

A classic George Cobb layout that plays through quiet, tree-lined corridors and rewards accuracy over power, with small greens guarded by bunkers and Bermuda rough. Golfers call it the gentlest and most relaxed of Port Royal’s three courses.

Best forShot-makingForgiving

Consistently praised

Tree-lined, secluded fairway corridors give a calm, private feel hole to hole.
A back-nine stretch golfers nickname their own "Amen Corner," beginning and ending at the antebellum-style clubhouse.

Worth knowing

Fairways look open off the tee, but the small, bunkered greens are the real defense, and marsh can grab offline shots.

Golfers recommend

Pick a tee for your iron game, not your driver; touch into the small greens matters most.
