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.

This is a beautiful course.
Cupp is a challenging course with a beautiful well maintained layout. Everyone working there is very friendly. I had a wonderful round and it was priced fairly.
Well established course
Sadly a very slow fourball in front of us who had no one in front but would not let us through
Very enjoyable round of golf. I was the first player out on the course and played in 3 hours. The course was well maintained and required some shot making decisions. I would definitely play this course again.
Good deal
Course was nice and very fair. Fairways good and greens rolled well. Good value. Cart paths need a lot of work.
Getting Better Each Week
Both courses at Palmetto Hall are improving all around. Most people do not realize how much hurricane damage they sustained...you can still see effects on the sides. However, the course itself and greens are in excellent shape -- play it back and you will have all the course you want.
Cart attendants, pro shop employees, starter and cart girl are all top notch and extremely helpful.
I play here a couple times a week and just love it.
The Course was fun to play
The course was in good shape the prople were very friendly
Well kept.
Great course. The greens were fantastic. Rolled well and true. Ample room in fairways to let your drives fly. Not too many bunkers, but enough to make you choose your approach shots carefully. A 10 handicap will should shoot the same.
We are truly happy to hear you enjoyed your round with us and will pass along your kind words to the responsible departments.
We look forward to having you all out with us again soon!
Great Day
Found a hot deal and played Cupp course for $24.50 at 11:30. First time ever that we did not see anyone in front or behind us the entire round. Challenging course but playable for the average golfer. Very enjoyable day!
It sounds like you all found the deal of the day! We are happy everything worked out tto be enjoyable.
Please come back and play Palmetto Hall again soon!
Challenging
Played today Crupp course. Great conditions perfect golf day. Pro shop associate very pleasant and accomadating. Starter welcomed us and gave us the run down of the course. Nice guy!!!! Nice tee boxes, fairways very receptive and rewarding with a good drive, greens were just recently top dressed but still rolled well. The most challenging course I've played all year. But fair!!! Course really made you think. Today would of been a 5 if the pace of play would have been a little speeder. Hard to get in a rhythm, jammed up ahead and behind you. Still had a good time. I paired up with a great couple from Canada, Vince and Susan. Made the wait not so long since we kept some conversation going between teeing off. Lisa the cart attendant very nice!! Thanks for having one. Would definitely play again.
Solid
Cupp course was in good shape with slow greens. Pace of play was fine. Interesting layout with a couple of funky short par 4s. Locals rate of $49 incl range balls was a good value.
Beautiful layout. Conditions typical for a Brown course.
I wish the course was in better condition. The layout can be challenging but fun. Played for $20 with a GN hot deal, so how can I complain.
First time playing this course and was very pleased with course condition. Fairways were nice, greens were great and rolled very true. Only issue was minor problem with pace of play. Great deal on golf now. I highly recommend this course and plan on playing again on next trip to HHI.
Nice course in good shape
Staff was friendly and helpful - even bringing out water and ice when we let them know one of the water coolers was empty. A couple of tough approaches requiring water carries but there were bailout places if you were willing to give upa stroke. Greens were pretty quick.
Nice Hilton Head Island features
Nice amount of water and sand to make the coarse a challenge. Nice homes around the coarse. Need the golf cart to get between the greens and the next tee box. Would probably look into playing this coarse the next time we visit Hilton Head Island.
Cupp coure
Very nice layout and very playable. Only problem, cart path only.
Better hit them straight. Otherwise, you'll have trouble. Some fairways seemed narrow.
Fairways and greens in good shape.
