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.

Good test.
Course is in good shape. Greens have been aerated. Good value and great on island location.
A good value for the money on Golf Now
Have played here previously a few times. I enjoy the layout and challenge of the course. Played the white tees which allow me to hit irons into most greens. Great finishing hole.
Range closed, Rude attendant
The reason I booked this course is that they had a range and the fee included range balls. When I got to course the range was closed. They had a sign saying the range is closed every Friday for several hours since June of 2018 for maintenance. Nowhere in the listing on GolfNow or on the website of the course state that the range was closed on Fridays. I would have booked someplace else if I had know the range was closed. The pro shop staff attendant was rude and acted because I booked through GolfNow that somehow I was inferior to others when I asked for a discount as the range was closed. The manager arrived and he gave me a $10 discount and still the attendant was arguing with him that I was a GolfNow purchaser and wasn't entitled to a discount.
Good course for every type of golfer
The layout is fair to the high handicappers from the white tees and demanding from the back tees. You have to know where to play the ball.
Slowish greens but great layout!
Course conditions seem to get better every week. Greens still a little slow but definitely playable. Love the layout, wide fairways and challenging approach shots. Will be back.
Golf course maintence
Once again Brown Golf is not maintaining the putting surfaces , to that of other near by courses in the same or lesser cost range. They need to put some money into this and other Brown Golf managed courses, PLAY good golf else where at less cost.
Great course, great staff
This is my second year playing this course and Arthur Hills. Both are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. 5 stars in every aspect. I highly recommend playing here.
Love the course, but.....
Great layout, but still spring like conditions. Greens were slow and 3 greens had damage and were being repaired. Nonetheless, I always like the course and it was good value,
tricky
Course was in reasonable condition. a Few varied pace greens. You have to be straight or be punished!
pace of play was slow as we believe a singleton pushed in. Worse still was a 5 ball in front of him.
We finished on the 14th as thunderstorms arrived
Nice Courae
First ones off at 7:15. Some challenging pin positions. Over all course was in good shape; a couple of greens had some bare spots. Cart paths in rough shape. But tee to green is great shape. Bunkers good too... a least the 2 i hit into. Good 5 tee options.
Nice round
The course was very busy when we played. Some tees and fairway conditions weren't in great shape, but we still enjoyed the round.
Overall great course
Great course...just a few of the greens need some work...everything else was good and staff is very nice.
Sanded greens ! Big patches of fungus covered by sand
Wish I could have played it without the greens issue! Other than that, course was great layout. Shot making was at a premium on some holes, but not so much that it was frustrating!
Palmetto Hall
Great course with the great value really enjoyed the day and we wouldn’t go back and recommend it to friends and family
