About
While Hilton Head is chock full of courses designed by some of the greatest names in golf, just one of them was designed with a computer to give it lines straighter than an arrow throughout.
The Robert Cupp Course at Palmetto Hall can be one of the most interesting and eclectic courses you'll play, as well as possibly one of the toughest. From the back tees the course plays to 7,079, with a slope rating of 144.
Named as Golf World's top designer in 1992, Cupp created a course that is visually challenging as well as challenging to play. With sand traps looking as if they were drawn in by, well, a computer, this is a course you'll tell your friends about, though you may not tell them your score.

Great course to play
Great layout, pleasure to play. Greens were perfect. Fairways were a bit thin and dry, but that’s true of all courses in the area due to the dry winter. Excellent practice facilities and pro shop. Looking forward to going back.
Nice course. Nice shape. Good pace.
Pleasantly surprised how good this course was. Greens were fast and mint. Fairways lush. Pace was under 4 hours. Good layout. Would play again anytime
Nice course. Good shape. Good eats
We played at 1 pm. Marshall let 3 twosomes off in a row so we could play at our leisure. Came in under 4 hours. Greens were in great shape albeit a touch slow. Fairways green. Carts newish. Good layout. Much better than other courses we played at HH.
Beautiful day of golf
Golf course was in great condition and greens were perfect!
Greens are in perfect shape
From check in through finish the Cupp Course made for a terrific day of golfing. The pace was quick, the course layout interesting, the greens excellent and the staff pleasant and professional. Couldn’t ask for more.
Great layout
This course has a beautiful layout. The course was in decent condition for the time of year although the fairways were a little rougher than some others we played. The greens were in very good condition and were medium fast. The beer price is steeper than every other course . We kept getting tolf to speed up yet we played in 3hrs and 40 minutes so that was annoying.
Needs maintenance
Played this course three or four years and the conditions of the tee boxes has slipped on a few holes. The group in front of me played slowly, so much so that the group behind me quit.
Great course/slow play
Great course, challenging layout, good shape, fun. However over a 5 hour round. No marshals on course to figure out problem.
Palmer hall Cupp course
First time playing there. Signage could better, nice course but in Feb. it is very brown and dead except for very nice greens. Cart paths in poor shape.
Carts have no gps, no course layout info on cars so first time there was a bit of challenge. Nice layout of holes.
Challenging layout, fair amount of water, not too many bunkers. Good shape this early in the year. Will definitely play this course in the future
