Port Royal Recreation
Athletics: Golf and Tennis
Port Royal Golf Club presents 54 holes, spread over three separate courses. The scenic 1966 Robber’s Row course, recently renovated by Pete Dye, is one of the primary 18-hole courses. Located on the island’s marsh side, historic Civil War grounds lie nearby as well as the historic Port Royal village.
The 1969 player-friendly Barony Course, designed by George Cobb and Willard Byrd together, plays over 6,500 yards. Concentrate on accuracy instead of shot length, because the 12th hole catches wind from the nearby Atlantic.
Planter’s Row, Port Royal Plantation’s third course, once hosted the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors International Golf Tournament. The tree-lined course has a few holes near water, making extremely focused shots a necessity.
The five star Racquet Club contains 16 tennis courts. Ten of the courts are Har-Tru clay with two lighted; Four are lighted Deco Turf II courts; and the last two are seasonal grass courts. Members are allotted two hours per day on the courts, and the on-site pro shop is available for rates and reservation queries.
Athletics: Croquet
The Port Royal Croquet Club contains two championship croquet courts, where groups play daily. Clinics are available with arranged appointments.
