Unique. Innovative. Eminently playable. The Robert Cupp course is a stunningly original design that tests the better player, but accommodates higher handicappers as well.

Cupp, Golf World’s former Architect of the Year, opened his signature course at Palmetto Hall in 1993, Robert Cupp Course at Palmetto Hall on Hilton Head Island had the highest slope rating from the back tees (152) of any course in the state. Although that honor has since bestowed upon Pete Dye and the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort – which comes in at the USGA max of 155.

Despite this difficult rating from the tips, the course continues to draw high praise for its flexibility, sound shot values and impeccable year-round conditioning.
