Possibly the most player-friendly of Port Royal’s trio of courses at just under 6,000 yards from the regular tees, Barony’s fairways are generous, but the risk/reward approaches to the greens bring some serious challenge to this par-72 George Cobb layout. Small greens that are protected by deep bunkers and surrounded by Bermuda rough demand a skillful touch with the medium and short irons. The key to this course is accuracy and not length.

Barony Course at Port Royal Golf Club even has its own “Amen Corner.” The long doglegright, par-4 12th forces golfers to thread their approach shot between water left and right of the green. The shorter par-4 13th doglegs left with water on both sides of the fairway. Then, just before the reachable par-5 15th, the par-3 14th demands a carry over the watery home of an attendant alligator.

Port Royal features the fi rst John Jacobs School of Golf in the Carolinas, offering 35 years of teaching experience that has helped thousands of golfers become their own best teachers. New at Port Royal is a 15,000 square-foot clubhouse under a canopy of oaks and magnolias that brings a modern southern plantation feel to your golf experience as you relax outside on its 6,800 square-foot wrap-around veranda.
