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.

Outstanding value
Palmetto Hall has become my go to when planning my golf on vacation due to location, course quality, and value. This trip was no different- the course was in excellent condition. Both courses are great but I do prefer the Cupp layout a little over the Arthur Hills.
Awesome Golfing Experience!!
This course is beautiful and well maintained great staff, and great price. I would for sure play here again and I will, if and when I am ever back in the area!
Great conditions, not to friendly staff
On vacation played here late in the afternoon cruises thru the course. Course in great shape, greens rolled fast. Cart staff little unfriendly other then that. Great choice to play if you’re looking for a good course
Plantation Hall Robert Cupp
Course was in excellent shape. Challenging, with plenty of bunkers and water. Great value when purchased on Golfnow. Course is managed by Brown golf and they are doing a great job.
Was great
Got there and driving range was closed.
They let us off right away, two of us played in 3 hrs.
Nice course.
Fast pace
My father-in-law and I played 18 in three hours. Very enjoyable. Challenging course.
Palmetto Plantation | Cupp
Good, Fair layout. First oersknoff as a single and had to navigatate the mowers before being set loose to play.
Wide variety of holes that were fun to play, however nothing truly memorable.
Off course amenities were lacking- not a place to spend extra time before or after the round.
Every hole a gem
Booked thru golf now did not know what to expect, found a course that was fantastic with 18 beautiful holes in good condition highly recommend
Short round
I had a great time playing this course. This was my first time at this course. It's a manageable course if you play it safe. Unfortunately, thunderstorms got in the way at the 10th tee. I asked for a rain Che k for the back nine and the staff was accommodating. I'll return in a few weeks to finish out my round.
Nice Course
Well kept course. Fairly wide open. Water comes into play on half dozen holes.
A great day of golf.
We enjoyed the course. It was challenging. The bar/grill was very nice and the food was good. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Even w aerated greens....
Was able to play for 1/3 the normal cost because of aeration the day before. Regardless the course is a step above most HHI courses. Shame on me for not having a course guide so i'd know what to avoid. Scenically could not ask for more. Will definitely play again.
Great day to play gold
We played today at Palmetto Hall Plantation on the Cupp course. We got a good deal on Golf Now and there was hardly anyone around so we got on one hour earlier and played virtually with no one around. The course is challenging and enjoyable. Play from the tees that enable you to have chances for some birdies and pars. Would return at these prices.
Looking forward to coming back
It was my first round on the Cupp course, and I enjoyed it. I liked the layout, and we weren't bogged down to a 4.5 hr round of "resort" golf. I will remember the nuances of some of the holes for next time!
Nice challenging course!
I have played at a few other courses on HHI and this time is hard for the courses. This was in top shape even though I heard they don't water. A challenging course with water and sand. Greens were slow for the first half but wind blew them dry from the rain the night before and were reasonable by 4p. Pace was good and hardly anybody out on course. Staff were pleasant and helpful! Is a semi-private course so the members had the first 1/2 of the day for themselves which worked out well.
Just ok
Disappointing services. Course layout was great; challenging but fair. The condition of the cart paths, transition areas were rough. It needs some cleaning and care. But on Hilton Head, you would expect better amenities for your vacation dollar. No water in the coolers, soda machines didn't work, eight bucks for a bag of balls.. Cart was ragged. There are plenty of courses to visit here. They need to make more of an effort.
Great golf course on Hilton Head Island
My wife and I along with two friends played the Robert Cupp course yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Course was well manicured, greens were true, and sand traps actually had sand in them. Course layout was a good challenge and the 18th hole is a beauty.
I can thoroughly recommend this course.
