Robert Cupp at Palmetto Hall Plantation
Rating Snapshot
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.

My wife and I played and found it very enjoyable. Everyone was nice, from the pro shop staff, the starter and the cart lady.
We were paired with 2 nice gentlemen
We played from the blacks. Which made it a little easier, but had some risk reward shots.
The greens were a little furry, but I guess it was the time of year
Poor conditions here
It’s too bad you don’t get discounts when the course is in such poor shape. I have played here every year for about 12-13 years. This was the worst condition ever for this course. Definite theme for most courses this year, although not very happy. Where do I start. The 1st hole was dry as could be. Fairway was short brown, let’s call it hay. No difference between fairway and rough. The sand traps were a mix bag of some actually sand you could hit out of, while others had a mere covering over the hard clay bottom. Tee’s were poor too. The greens were slow, and many were in rough shape. They were even sprayed so they looked not bad from a distance. Very disappointed this year. As for the marshalls, I think I saw one, but they did nothing to speed up a 5 hour 20 min round.
Slow and buppy
Starting time just before 1pm, took just short of 5hrs. We hade to wait on almost every tee box, greens where very furry and buppy. It's Tuesday and same holes were being used as weekend. No idea hole placement, wasnt 3 like starter said. Layout of course it's nice. Alittle attention to detail, course would be a 4 star.
Greens in great condition. Course dry considering recent heavy rain. Pace of play a little slow. No ranger
Great course and very good value
Thoroughly enjoyed our round today. Starter couldn't have been more friendly......course had recovered well following 48hrs of rain... tees and fairways great... greens slightly slower than others but all good... bunkers fine....will play again
No play.
Did not play as course was closed. Trying to get refund but getting the run around.
Great golf in HH

This is a great course love playing pace of play is good 18 holes in 4 hour and 10 minutes

Fun relaxing round
Course in nice shape... greens a tad slow but ran true...overall very enjoyable round of golf.
Liked the course layout greens in great shape rolled very true but not very quick .would play again
Worth the trip
Nice course to play in Hilton Head. Will play again - for sure.
8 handicaps lunch handed to him
Wow. What a beast. Played from 6500 yards seemed like 7500. Tough long and greens large and undulating. Shot makers coarse. Bring your “A” game for this track. Enjoyed the challenge
Great value
A great deal on Golf Now and a recommendation from a friend prompted me to play this course. Great layout with mostly wide fairways and a few very challenging holes with water in front or around the green. Some large undulating greens which were a little slow due to heavy rain the previous few days.Played from the white tees which were perfect for a 16 handicap senior. Course was very wet and cart path only which made for a bit longer round. Overall a very enjoyable round and would most certainly recommend.
Enjoyable round
In theory, it was suppose to rain most of the afternoon, but it didn't. Others may have chosen not to play, but it was really quite nice. We only saw one other person on our round, so the pace of play was great. It was a little wet which meant cart path only. Cupp is not an easy course to play, so I would not recommend it to handicaps higher than 15 or so. Some nice challenges in playing this course.
Difficult layout
Early morning round with time on the well set up range and a separate chipping and putting area. Lots of water and well groomed bunkers with coarse sand. Will come back for sure.
Enjoyable round!
Very nice course, challenging! Difficult pin placement today.
Good value..I would recommend this course.
love the challenge
Played this course a few times now and really like it. Rained out with 4 holes to go made me sad. had a good round going.
Golfnow bargain
Very nice layout. Greens fairly flat and slow. Lots of water in play off the tees. Bunkers all recently groomed. Very nice practice area though the practice putting green was unavailable.
