About Port Royal Barony Golf Course

The Barony Course at Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is an 18-hole, par-72 George W. Cobb design on Hilton Head Island. Built in 1963, it belongs to the Port Royal golf complex and is distinct from the property's other layouts.

Current published course information gives a rated length of 6,530 yards with a 71.2 course rating and 124 slope, while other published descriptions place the longest tee slightly farther back at 6,543 yards. Cobb's routing uses comparatively generous landing areas before tightening the challenge around the greens, where bunkering and rough place a premium on approach accuracy. Barony is operated as a resort/public-access course within the Hilton Head Golf Collection and shares clubhouse and practice infrastructure with the wider Port Royal property.

The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,530 yards, course rating 71.2 and slope rating 124. Designed by George Cobb, the course originally opened in 1963. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Golf Lessons, Chipping Area, Restaurant.

Origins

Barony was built in 1963 as one of the early golf courses developed at Port Royal on Hilton Head Island. George W. Cobb, whose work is strongly associated with the Carolinas and the early development of Hilton Head golf, designed the course.

Design Philosophy

The routing provides relatively generous driving areas but places more emphasis on precision nearer the greens, where bunkers, rough and the size and positioning of the putting surfaces shape scoring.

Today

Barony remains one of the distinct courses in the Port Royal golf complex and is marketed and booked through the Hilton Head Golf Collection.
