Barony Course

The Barony Course at Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is a longtime favorite for golfers visiting Hilton Head Island. Located in the Port Royal area near the island’s northern beaches, this classic Lowcountry course offers a traditional layout featuring tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers and challenging greens. Designed by George W. Cobb, the Barony Course rewards accuracy and thoughtful shot selection. Rather than relying solely on distance, the course challenges golfers to position their shots carefully and avoid the bunkers and hazards protecting many of its greens. Multiple tee options make Barony enjoyable for a wide range of players, from recreational golfers to experienced players looking to test their short game and course management. The course’s mature trees and natural surroundings create the relaxed atmosphere golfers expect from a Hilton Head Island golf course. Its location also makes Barony particularly convenient for visitors staying in the Folly Field, Port Royal and nearby mid-island areas. A round at Barony can easily be incorporated into a Hilton Head vacation that includes beach days, dining, shopping, tennis, pickleball and other outdoor activities. Golfers can also explore additional courses at Port Royal for even more variety during their stay. For visitors planning a Hilton Head golf vacation, the Barony Course offers a combination of history, traditional course design and Lowcountry character that makes it well worth adding to the itinerary.
