Thinking About Living in Shipyard Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Shipyard Golf Club and the surrounding Hilton Head Island golf market.
Shipyard Golf Club's 27 holes wind through Carolina pines, magnolias, and moss-draped oaks inside Shipyard Plantation on the island's south end. One of Hilton Head's oldest clubs, it is operated by Heritage Golf Group alongside Oyster Reef and Port Royal, with reciprocal membership access across the trio.
Golf & Course
Three distinct 9-hole courses: the original Clipper and Galleon courses (George W. Cobb, 1970) and the Brigantine course (Willard C. Byrd, 1982), which winds around lagoons and local wildlife.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Golf is open to the public, with optional membership tiers sold and marketed across Heritage Golf Group's Hilton Head Collection (reciprocal with Oyster Reef and Port Royal). Shipyard Plantation homeowners receive resident discounts on tennis/golf play but are not required to hold any club membership.
