Nice course, worth playing

Course was in good shape. The greens are probably the best aspect of this course. Almost every green is tiered, which makes for some challenging and fun putts. The greens were fast and rolled true. The layout is kind of typical Hilton Head, a bit of sameness to many of the holes, but there were a few standouts. If you stay in the fairway, not particularly difficult, but there are quite a few long par4's which is nice. Overall, worth playing when visiting the island.

Very nice Low Country layout

Very enjoyable golf course. Lots of live oaks and Spanish moss provide beauty and hazards as well. Very fair greens, speed slightly fast to moderate. Nice variety of hole designs. Typical Arthur Hills course: moderately challenging and visually interesting. Highly recommend.

Fun Course

The course was is great condition. It is designed for you to have fun. Hole designs will give you just enough mixture so you can make decisions on what you want to do to play the each hole. The staff was really friendly. I recommend this course to anyone who just wants to have fun and enjoy a good round of golf.

I wis this was my home course.

The course was in great condition. The greens are firm and roll true. Fairways are generous enough that keeping the ball in the short grass is manageable. Approach shots are of the utmost importance. Some of the green complexes are extremely severe and your approach shot absolutely has to be on the correct tier. Spend some time on the outting green before you tee off because you will have to deal with some breakers. There are a couple of greens where I wish I had hours to just try and chip to different pin locations.

Pace of play was great. The staff was friendly and courteous from the pro shop to the starter to the marshal.

Better conditions and accommodations by the staff

I was supposed to play the Cupp course on Wednesday. However, when I arrived, I found out the course was closed due to aeration. However, the staff honored my golf now price and put me on the Hills course. I played 18 holes by myself in less than three hours. I’ve been playing this course for 20 out of the past 25 years on our annual friends golf trips. We stopped playing here because the conditions were deteriorating year after year.
Much to my surprise and enjoyment, the course was in excellent shape. The greens were perfect. The fairways were well manicured and tee boxes is in great shape. Overall a wonderful improvement from the last time I played here.
I enjoyed the round so much, that I am actually going to go back and play again next week.

Not too difficult

Course was in good shape. I'm not a long hitter so I liked the forward tees marked with an orange dot on the cart path. A little strange to tee off in the fairway but it was not a problem. My only complaint was the slow foursome in front of us.

Odd Layout

The course was in below average condition for the price. My biggest complaint about the course is the odd layout of holes where when you tee off there are trees directly in front of the ideal shot. There are several trees I recommend they cut down or move the tee boxes. Not a great course and I don’t recommend it.

Good course in pretty good shape.

We played late afternoon, so it was hot but the end of the round felt good. Course is in pretty good condition a few dry spots here and there. Overall, it is a pretty open course and very fair to play. You can definitely shoot low if you keep it straight because it is not particularly long. Super friendly, helpful staff will definitely play again.

AH Palmetto Hall Plantation 20230802

First thing... there are two Arthur Hills courses on Hilton Head Island. I thought we had booked Arthur Hills Palmetto Dunes but it was Arthur Hills Palmetto Hall Plantation. The staff a both courses were very understanding and said it happens alot.

Once we were at the correct course we barely made our 0700 tee time but the Pro Shop and starter were very friendly along with providing information on the course. The condition of the course was excellent. Greens were consistent and the layout did have some challenges with the narrow fairways and bunker locations.

The service from staff while on the course was very good and selection off the drink cart was good. After the round we had lunch in the restaurant on site. The choices off the menu were excellent and the food was very good.

Would definitely play again with absolutely no reservations.
