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.

I 'll be back...
Wow!... What a great course! Visually, the course is stunning and the layout is quite challanging. We were a group of kids handicappers and played from the white tees.... Glad that we did, because it allowed us to enjoy the round, but still be challenged as golfers!
This was our 3rd course in 3 days and was the BEST of the lot (Shipyard came in 2nd and Indigo Run was last due to fairway quality). This was the most expensive of the 3, but still fairly priced.
I will look forward to playing again in the future!
First Time on A Cupp Course
It was my first time on the Plantation Hall Robt. Cupp course. I was pleasantly surprised with the layout and condition of the course. Being the second group off, the pace was very good. I'm sure later it would be slower. The overall course condition was very good. The design of the course, and the difficulty was perfect for an intermediate experienced golfer. I would recommend this course to other golfers.
Good day of golf
Course was in good condition. Greens are being worked on, a little inconsistent right now.
Beautiful and fast paced day of golf
Staff friendly and attentive to my group. Suggested I play Arthur Hills instead of Roberts Cupp, since I had my wife and grandson with me. Less carry holes on Arthur Hills. Turned out to be a great decision. Pace was unbelievably good. We played in 3 hrs 15 min as a threesome. Course in great shape, although these traps had pebbles in with the sand so it was a little tougher hitting out of. Overall we loved it and my grandson who is 11 played well and shot 113. He played the forward tees with my wife, while I played the back tees. Set up nice for low or high handicappers. Definitely a good choice if looking to play on the island at a reasonable rate.
Wet
Course is a good lay out. However weather had been wet and cold. Yet the greens and fairways left something to be desired. I cannot say If was staff or weather. Should have been more yardage markers. It was cart path only when I played, unfortunately the cart path is the roughest part on the course. Club house is very very nice and food and service was excellent.
It is a very fair course
I like this course im a 20 handicap and am able to play bougy golf on it
Peale I play with are 10 handicap and still enjoy it
Would recommend this course to anyone
The price is fare staff are friendly
If you have chance play this course!
good course for average golfer
Booked as a single and was paired up with two other golfers. Pace of play was good and the course was in reasonably good condition for the time of year. Course has easy and challenging holes.
Overall poor experience
The course layout is good. The tees and more important the greens are a mess. Cart paths are terrible and in places unusable. Members seem to have the right of way. No etiquette, slow, playing several balls, no consideration for people playing behind them. Walked off after 13. Not going back. Lots of other great courses in the area.
Pre-season conditions
Fairways were average for this time of year, greens were quite variable
worth a visit
Played an afternoon round by myself in under three hours. Good variety of holes and tricky greens with lots of slope. A good challenge.
Wet weather
We experienced rain for the first few wholes.On the 4th hole someone came out to tell it would be cart path only due to the rain. We asked for towels given the weather and was told they had new carts and must not have put the towels in.. We asked to send towels out and got no response. When we finished our round ( it did stop raining) and the conditions were fine. When we came back to the cart drop , we again asked the attendant about towels, and were told they don't alway put in carts, you have to ask.
The range balls for quests were in terrible shape --- assume the members got better ones.
A facitily of the caliber should do better
