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.

Wow!

Hope your golf balls aren’t hydrophobic. There is a lot of water with greens tucked in and around the ponds. Greens were really fast with minute undulations that were tough to read. Very nice layout and great conditions of the course for January golf! Go play it!

Not good.

This course is under renovation and should not have been promoted. Waste of my money.

Beautiful, challenging course

Loved the layout and the conditions. Only negatives were the sand traps had small pebbles in them and the pace of play was slow. In spite of this, I would definitely recommend this course and would happily play it again.

Cupp

Nice playable course only complaint was directional markers, or lack of, to the tee boxes. Specifically, going from the clubhouse to the 10th tee.

Otherwise, the course was great.
