About Port Royal Barony Golf Course
Barony Golf Course is a classic, tree-lined Hilton Head Island layout inside Port Royal Plantation, built around the kind of tight, strategic holes that reward course management over power. It plays 6,543 yards from the Gold tees at a par of 72, with large Bermuda putting surfaces, thick rough, and well-protected bunkers that put a premium on accuracy over distance. It’s one of two courses at the club, alongside Robber’s Row.
