The Clipper/Galleon Course at Shipyard Golf Club, which combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses on the property, creates an exciting combination of long fairways and perilous hazards. Clipper/Galleon has a rating of 74, with a slope of 133 from the championship tees.
With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1970, Clipper requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.
Galleon, the original nine holes, meanders through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

Round review
Pace of play on first 9 great, terrible on 2nd 9 holes (Galleon at 2:20 pm)-we called ranger to come out and speak with slow groups ahead of us, but didn't make any difference-need ranger to be more proactive with this high-volume course

No GPS on carts and no yardage markers on the fairways except for 100-150-200. For $100 I would expect GPS and/or better and more yardage markers on the course.

The fairways and greens were in great condition for February. I had a foursome on the front nine and was a single on the back. Play was slow but I still enjoyed it.

Enjoyable round
Considering it is still classed as winter (February) in South Carolina, the course was in excellent condition. The fairways were very good and the greens were excellent, as were the bunkers. With the Golf Now Hot Deal the price was also very good. A rainy afternoon and I had the course to myself.
