Arthur Hills at Palmetto Hall Plantation
About
The experience of playing the Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Hall takes on an added dimension when you discover that the golf course was built on an old Civil War garrison. History aside, however, the Hills Course, which opened in 1991, stands proudly as yet another grand achievement by the legendary Ohio-born designer.
"At Palmetto Hall, golfers have to deal with another element when they miss their mark - the rough," said former TravelGolf.com writer Shane Sharp. "The cabbage is grown thick in the summer months, consisting of a deadly blend of Bermuda around the greens and Bahia along the fairways.
"Arthur Hills can be notorious for creating difficult courses like his course at Palmetto Hall. This course really demands accuracy or you can put some big numbers on your scorecard."
Playing the forward tees will give resort golfers enough of a challenge to keep them happy, while better golfers will be heavily challenged from the tips, which play nearly 7,000 yards, with a slope of 136.

Golfer Reviews
Great course to play while on the island. Staff were very friendly. I played with no one before or after me so pace was fantastic. Greens were well taken care of, with great pin locations that were challenging but not unfair.
Picture perfect day in HHH
We enjoyed the course which is in good condition, some burnout on fairways but greens are excellent and fast.
The sand traps really need some work, difficult to get your club through the ball.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating . We would definitely recommend this course .
Well designed track
Albeit a tad dry, this track was an enjoyable experience with one of the best finishing holes in H.H. A fantastic lay out and a more 'out there' experience than most golf community designs. The greens were hard and fast and rolling true. Another Arther Hills design that I strongly recommend.
Good coursr
Nice course, good conditions. Great service, best value on the island.
Course was in bad shape
Course was extremely dry and fairways an d tee boxes were in bad shape. Did not pick up any grass clippings and they were all dried up all over the course
Alwas a challenge
Course in ok condition but that is true all over this yr due to the hurricane. Our cart was good but the person with us had a poor and noisy cart.
We apologize for the cart. We are slated to have brand new group of carts within the week! We hope you all will come back and join us as we continue to improve our courses and catch up from the Hurricane Matthew setback.
Loved having a time to hit a few before tee time
Totally relaxing day of golf! We did pause for a breath on one hole though - we found ourselves and our ball between a huge alligator in the pond and a baby one in the fairway!
After that we left all errant balls to fend for themselves, if they were in any wooded areas. Happy hunting!
Were happy to hear you enjoyed your rounds with us. The wildlife can be a bit tricky out here at times but it only adds to the experience!
greens were quick and "hilly"
solid layout. pace of play was good, as was the overall experience. course has trees down, but they are not in play and frankly I don't understand the criticism in some other reviews. good mix of holes, made more difficult by the contours (pin placements) of the greens. good value with a hot deal.
Challenging!
On a cool but sunny day I played with my wife., son and son in law. The course was an excellent challenge for all of us as we used three sets of tee boxes. The greens are large , fast and undulating. Unfortunately we were stuck behind a foursome of men who probably were over ther heads on a course this tough. We waited on every shot for 18 holes and the course was empty in front of them. We would definitely return and recommend the course.
Firm Greens and free range balls
Got lucky with a hot deal for $20 on a chilly windy afternoon. The free range balls to start the round were great. The range and practice green were well maintained. The fairways were great, tight turf and challenging. The greens were firm, quick and not a flat spot on them. I loved this course and played in 2.5 hours as a single.
