The Clipper Course at the Shipyard Plantation was constructed in 1970 and is the most difficult of the 3 choices available. There is an overabundance of sand and water hazards that will challenge the most proficient golfer. This is a George Cobb design which means that players need to have an excellent long game as well as a soft hand when navigating the greens on this Hilton Head Island golf course.

George Cobb was also the designer responsible for the Galleon Course that was also built during 1970. This Shipyard Golf Course is generally considered a little easier than the Clipper. The holes play out through a long section of stately pines and live oaks. The greens on the Galleon are extremely well protected and approach shots must be accurate while playing this Hilton Head SC golf course.

The Brigantine Course is the Willard Byrd design that was added in 1982. This is an excellent test of a short game and is a favorite among the players that prefer to be shot-makers. This is the most scenic of the 3 Shipyard Golf Courses and a favorite of guests.

Be prepared to deal with water hazards at each of the holes and you will often spot some of the Low Country alligators sunning along this Hilton Head Island golf course. Strategically placed bunkers and deceptive dog legs turn this course into more of a challenge at each new hole.
