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.

Challenging greens
Position 1 hole placemeets make the greens very challenging. Fun course as every hole gives you something to think about regarding shot placement.
course design impacts experience
I am a fan of Bob Cupp designs. However, this one was the exception. The geometric experiment failed. I would not want to the superintendent as sharp angles make it difficult to grow grass. Water hazards in front of greens make it very challenging for most golfer. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Greens Fast and True
Enjoyed my day came out as a single and paired with another single and played in just under 3 hrs. We had the course to ourselves on a prefect day.
The pins selection for the course that day was #3.The greens roles true and fast. The course was a joy to play.
Playing the Arthur Hill sister course on Friday can't wait. Going to be there a little early to take advantage of the range prior to the round.
Nice Course
Nice t my first time here nor will it be my last. For February the course was in great shape. Greens rolled true. Will be back.
A pleasant Course
played round in four hours with normal pace of play. Fivesome ahead kept pace of play good. Greens in good shape with average fairways. Some very interesting holes on course.
A good day of golf, however our cart conked out on the fifth hole. We called the pro shop and they said they would send out a new cart. We started walking instead of waiting and ended up walking all the way to the ninth. The bag drop attendant seemed brain dead about the whole incident. We got a new cart and finished the round.
Lots of water on this course.
Greens were in great shape. Friendly staff and free range balls always appreciated.
Magnificient course
Played this course mid Feb. so grass not real green but still excellent to play. Would love to make this my home course. Fairways wide with lots of bunkers to attract golf balls. Mostly large and undulating greens, also with ball attracting bunkers around them. Excellent shape inspite of damage caused by hurricane Matt. Would give this course ********** stars.
Solid Course
A buddy and I came out early and enjoyed a nice round.
The course was in pretty good shape and the greens rolled true. Lots of water and sand come into play. This course can be challenging if you're spraying the ball everywhere.
Some tee shots are repetitive but id still come back and play. Paid $45 so the value was fair.
Course for all skill levels
I would recommend this course for all skill levels. It is open enough for high handicappers and has plenty of challenge for low handicap players. Greens are fast, tricky and roll great. The fairways were in good shape, but this is Feb., and I can just imagine how nice they will be in a couple months.
great layout, lots of water and bunkers
lots of challenges for your average golfer, and I would include these for the above average golfer as well. I will definitely play it again and try to beat my score. A fun day.
Worth the money.
Nice layout. For the price on golfnow.com, well worth the round at $33. Lots of water on almost every hole, especially the pond on number 10. Pin placements were extremely difficult for a 14 handicap. Some very short par 3's with fairly fast greens so stay below the pin placement.
Very friendly course
Love the course layout. The starter and the person in the club were very helpful and friendly.
