Robert Cupp at Palmetto Hall Plantation

Palmetto Hall Plantation, cradled in the heart of Hilton Head Island, offers a gentler test of Lowcountry golf, distinct from its more demanding neighbors. The Robert Cupp course, built in the late modern era, presents a parkland experience defined by generous fairways, strategic bunkering, and subtly contoured greens. Don't expect to be bludgeoned from the tee; accuracy, rather than raw power, often dictates success here.

While lacking the dramatic elevation changes of courses farther north, or the claustrophobic tree-lined corridors of other island layouts, Cupp's design emphasizes thoughtful angles and risk-reward scenarios. The course favors the player who can work the ball, shaping shots to navigate the doglegs and find the ideal position on the green. There is a balance of long and short holes, with plenty of birdie opportunities for those who play well.

Palmetto Hall is known to be the ultimate course for members on Hilton Head. The club offers the best overall community experience and the membership, consisting of both full-time and part-time residents, have grown to become close friends. From casual rounds to competitive events, Palmetto Hall fosters a deep sense of camaraderie.
