Designed by George W. Cobb and built in 1967, the course can play to 6,637 yards, 134 slope, but has shorter tees. It was redesigned in 1994 by Pete Dye, and is located on the marsh side of the Port Royal Plantation. It's a parkland style course that's routed through level ground through stands of magnolia and live oaks on former civil war grounds and features historical markers throughout the course describing events which took place on the Island. Few of the fairways are wide and forgiving, but the approach to the greens is where the course's major defense is, water, bunkers, and raised and undulating greens. For the most part all the holes are tree lined on both sides which in some cases leads to some very narrow fairways. The majority of the holes are straight away with most of the trouble visible from the tee box. The most scenic hole is the par 5 number 13 in which the tee shot plays over marsh. where you may see a gator. I recommend this course as a good warm up round.

Parkland style course that is set among the homes at Port Royal Plantation. For the most part all the holes are tree lined on both sides which leads to some very narrow fairways. The majority of the holes are straight away with most of the trouble visible from the tee box. There are several par 4’s that while short require a well placed tee shot to allow for the best angle to the green. The most scenic hole is the par 5 number 13 in which the tee shot plays over marsh. Recommend this course as a good warm up round.
