Robert Cupp Course

The Robert Cupp Course at Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club offers one of the most distinctive golf experiences on Hilton Head Island. Opened in 1993, the course was designed by acclaimed golf architect Robert Cupp and is known for an innovative layout featuring straight lines, sharp angles and unusual geometric shapes. Located within Palmetto Hall Plantation, the 18-hole course provides a championship test while remaining playable for golfers of varying skill levels. From the back tees, the Robert Cupp Course stretches to approximately 7,079 yards and originally carried one of the most demanding slope ratings in South Carolina. What truly separates the course from other Hilton Head Island golf courses is its architecture. Cupp used computer-aided design to create geometric greens, bunkers and mounding that give the course a bold visual identity. Despite its unconventional appearance, the layout rewards smart shot placement, accuracy and sound course management. Palmetto Hall features 36 holes of championship golf, allowing visitors to pair the Robert Cupp Course with the club’s Arthur Hills Course for two very different Hilton Head golf experiences. For travelers planning a Hilton Head Island golf vacation, the Robert Cupp Course is an excellent addition to the itinerary. Its innovative design, challenging shot values and peaceful Lowcountry setting make it one of the island’s most unique rounds of golf.
