Port Royal Resort has recently been recognized as a "Silver Medal" Resort by Golf magazine.
This resort's Planter's Row Course served as the site of the PGA Senior Tour's Hilton Head Seniors International in 1985. The course offers a different look than its sister courses at Port Royal, with rolling, tree-lined fairways in a park-like setting. Water comes into play on several holes at Planter's Row, and its large and undulating greens require a skilled touch with your putter.
Keeping the ball in play is essential to good scoring on this track. An excellant example of this is the 480-yard, par-5 18th hole. The second shot must find a narrow landing area flanked by woods to the left and water to the right setting up a short pitch to an elevated well-bunkered green.
