About Shipyard Golf Club

Shipyard Golf Club on Hilton Head Island is a 27-hole facility made up of three nine-hole courses: Clipper, Galleon and Brigantine. George Cobb designed the original Clipper and Galleon nines, which opened in 1970. Willard Byrd designed Brigantine, added in 1982.

Golfers therefore play rotating 18-hole combinations rather than one permanent 18-hole course, an important distinction when recording scorecards or aggregate yardages. The property sits within Shipyard on Hilton Head and is operated as part of the Hilton Head Golf Collection. Public tee times are available.

The course is a 27-hole resort golf course. The course was designed by George Cobb and Willard Byrd. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Golf Lessons, Chipping Area, Restaurant.

Origins

Shipyard's golf operation began with two George Cobb-designed nines, Clipper and Galleon, in 1970 during Hilton Head Island's major period of golf and resort development.

Did You Know?
Shipyard's third nine was added twelve years after the original two.

Development

Willard Byrd designed Brigantine, which opened in 1982 and expanded the facility from 18 to 27 holes. The addition created three possible 18-hole combinations and introduced a second architectural hand to the property.

Today

Shipyard operates 27 holes as part of the Hilton Head Golf Collection, with public tee times available across combinations of Clipper, Galleon and Brigantine.
