Three championship golf courses, the Port Royal Racquet Club, and oceanfront access via the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort — an established north-central community.
Port Royal sits along the north-central Atlantic shore of Hilton Head Island, bounded by the ocean to the east and the William Hilton Parkway to the west. Established in the early 1970s, it is one of the island's earlier master-planned communities and remains a stronghold of established, residential, full-time ownership.
The community is anchored by the Port Royal Golf Club — a 54-hole facility with three distinct championship layouts — and by the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa, which occupies the community's oceanfront edge and provides resort-style beachfront amenities to property owners and resort guests.
Port Royal's residential neighborhoods are quietly varied — single-family homes on the courses, marsh-front estates on the Port Royal Sound side, and a substantial inventory of villas around the resort core.
Access to the Atlantic via the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa, the community's oceanfront anchor, with private boardwalk paths from interior neighborhoods.
Sixteen courts across multiple surfaces — Har-Tru clay, hard, and grass — making Port Royal one of the few clubs in the Southeast offering all three. Lessons, clinics, and tournament play year-round.
Port Royal's roads are framed by long-established live oaks, magnolias, and pine canopy — a tree maturity matched by few newer communities on the island.
The northern edge of Port Royal offers marsh and sound-front exposure to Port Royal Sound — a calmer, more sheltered waterfront than the Atlantic side.
A full-service oceanfront resort within the community, providing dining, spa, and beach amenities accessible to Port Royal residents.
Central location places residents within ten minutes of both the south-end commercial corridor and the north-end medical and grocery anchors.
Port Royal Golf Club operates fifty-four holes across three distinct championship layouts, each shaped by a different designer.
Robber's RowA George Cobb design extensively renovated by Pete Dye in 1994 — the most strategic of the three, with intricate bunkering and water features.
BaronyA George Cobb design known for its broad fairways and approachable strategic challenges — favored by golfers across skill levels.
Planter's RowA Willard Byrd design routed through mature pine and oak woodland, with a residential, parkland character.
Port Royal offers the following property types:
Port Royal's inventory ranges widely — from entry-level villas suitable for second-home use to substantial sound-front and oceanfront estates. The Westin operates a rental program for many resort-area villas, while the interior neighborhoods are dominated by long-term residential ownership.
