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
Fun course
First time playing this course. Nice layout. Good condition for this time of year.
Sleeping giant
The layout is championship class, however the surroundings , paths and tees , are a little tired to say the least. The greens on the back 9 are far superior to the front nine, not sure if they have been relaid but they were excellent and fast and true. No starter and we weren't aware, despite going to the pro shop, until another player playing Cupp course told us; we weren't sure if we had been paired up or not. We were a two ball and we flew round in around 3 hours 20. My overall impression was this could or just has been a great course. Loved the narrow landing areas from the drive and the water added an interesting element. Overall a very enjoyable round of golf and would play here again
Great place to play
Really enjoyed it. Not lush green at this time of year. But fairways and greens played Great! Enjoyed and and will likely come back.
Great for Value
Normally course goes for 60 a round and we got it for 20. Can't beat that on the island. Two courses based out of Palmetto Hall can't go wrong with either. Greens are very tough along with rough around the greens so hit on with your irons to score low. Loved the course wish they had food around the turn, clubhouse is literally a desk and bathroom with some apparel. All in all can't beat it for 20 bucks.
Arthur Hills At Palmetto Hall
Bring you long balls as you will need it from the blues. Excellent course and layout. Very challenging for me, a 9 handicap. I am not a long ball hitter which put pressure on my short game. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Great Course
Fairways were a little tight. Plenty of water. Golf staff very friendly. course in great shape. Will play again.
winter in hhi
i hand not played this course in several years and i was extremely pleased. a mix of straight forward holes, with some that require fore thought, i was told that the greens had been redone, and they rolled fast and smooth. first hole is #1handicap 18th hole is #2. tough way to start and finish.
Great course
First time playing on either of the two Palmetto Hall courses. This in "winter" golf but the course was in excellent condition. I had played two other courses in the days before and this was much better. The greens were erythromycin fast, but smooth and true. These greens have lots of undulations thus if you were above the hole, forget it!. Lots of character, many different holes styles and lots of green side bunkers and modules. Great challenge
Breezy Winter Golf
Noon tee time found the course very breezy. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Greens were fast. The staff was very helpful and friendly at check-in and bag drop. The pace of play was good even though the wind caused some issues with drives and approach shots. Will play again through hot deal. Good value for price. Definitely would recommend to others. Didn't check out 19th hole today.
first timer review
Course drains very well. Greens were in super shape. fairways were tightly mown for winter. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
Highly recommend the complex.
Getting better
Very enjoyable. They just reopened with resurfaced greens and we're still a little bumpy. Should be awesome to play by September.
Disappointed!!!
Great layout! Terrible greens! Staff was not friendly at all! So many better courses to play. Pace of play was great because nobody was on the course!
challenging lay out
course had some bare spots but to be expected this time of year, played in under 4 hours, the greens rolled true although they had been top dressed recently
Just ok
Greens were top dressed and fairways were rough. Surprised that the course wasn't in better shape - bit of a let down for golf on Hilton Head Island.
Thank you for playing with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed your round and look forward to having you back with us in the future!
