The 27 hole Shipyard course(s) were -par- (okay) for Hilton Head Island. We had played the very nice Port Royal courses for the previous two days of an annual golf outing.
However the staff at Shipyard, led by an arrogant assistant pro, were nothing less than rude. There is nothing so elegant about this course that would lead to the snooty-ness and rudeness of their pro.
As part of our Golf Package with a noted timeshare organization we were offered "free" golf, paying only cart fees of $35 per golfer (that is $70 per cart, which in and of itself is quite high just for carts). The arrogant pro would not honor are word that we were registered, he made a scene and insisted on "proof" that we were actually registered at the condos forcing us to return to the condo to get certificates of proof. I thought at first that he needed the actual paperwork for his records, but as it turned out, he simply looked at the cards and checked them off. He had seen on his computer at check in that we had indeed played the previous two days at their sister courses at Port Royal (without any such certificate requirement), but he still subjected us to this indignity and inconvenience. Bummer!
