Yes, they do. Phospholipids contain a hydrophilic (polar) head and a hydrophobic (nonpolar) tail. The hydrophilic (polar) head contains the phosphate groups, which account for the reason why the head is polar since each phoshpate has a net charge of -2. The tail consists of long chains of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar/hydrophobic due to the symmetry of the chains.
