Port Royal Golf Course

Frommer's Review

Famed golf architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., was the original designer of this government-owned and operated course, which closed in January of 2008 for a radical re-seeding and a multimillion dollar overhaul of its irrigation systems. At presstime for this edition, management was only able to announce the "hoped for" date of reopening as January of 2009, with the possibility of possible months of delays. Golf aficionados cite the 7th and 8th holes as being particularly difficult, subject as they are to steep dogleg turns and occasional high winds, and the 15th and 16th holes as "gorgeous but treacherous" thanks to their location on windy clifftops ringing the periphery of Whale Bay. At presstime, management wasn't able to cite fees or opening hours, but rumor has it that prices and hours will roughly parallel those at the above-described Belmont Hills.
