Arthur Hills Course ~
Robert Cupp Course
Arthur Hills Course
opened in 1991, this Hills work was instantly dubbed a classic by
Golf Magazine - rating it one of America's Top 10 new courses.
Heavily wooded with towering pines and moss-draped oaks, the lush
fairways roll past crystalline lakes. Protected greens, many edged
with bunkers, provide a constant challenge. The signature hole,
the par-4 18th, offers a daunting finish to a spectacular game.
Robert Cupp Course 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, & the course continues to draw high
praise for its flexibility, sound shot values and impeccable
year-round conditioning.

The National, The Player,
& The Weed
The "National" nine begins with
three increasingly-longer par-4's to get you started, #3 a great
420+ from the two back tees with water down the entire left side
on the drive with trees encroaching on the bail-out area to the
right. The long-iron approach must negotiate four mounds into the
smallish green. You might feel like you need to call in Henry
Kissinger to negotiate the huge waste bunker in front of the par-4
fifth, the large greenside bunker in front of the par-3 sixth
& the old oak that sits in front of the par-5 seventh, the
National's #1 handicapped hole. The ninth might actually be the
toughest, though, with deep marsh all along the right side of a
narrow fairway & right next to another elevated "table-top"
green it actually shares with #9 on the Player layout.
The "Player" nine hole
course,
& even if you start with the Player, your fun has just begun.
After possibly the most severe plateau on the whole layout
awaiting your approach to the green on Player #1, you've got to
make possibly your most important on-course decision at the drivable
par-4 second. The second-best risk/reward hole on the
course (to the Weed's signature #6), Player #2 is only 294 yards
from the tips, with the prevailing southerly wind at your back.
The smart play is your longest controllable iron to the narrow but
flat "runway" & then a short pitch to the green, but imagine
the story you’ll tell about driving the green & holing the
eagle putt!
The "Weed" nine hole
course is a perfect complement to the Player designs. His layout
also offers plenty of run-up opportunities to his greens, which
are generally a little larger than Player's, but with more
severe undulations. The par-3 fourth requires a carry over a waste
bunker that takes up most of the yardage between tee & green.
But it's the signature sixth that'll give you stories to tell,
or explanations to make. Again under 300 yards from the tips, just
250-275 from the middle tees, its one of Bobby Weed's ultimate
risk/reward opportunities. The largest lake on the entire course
runs down the entire right side, then wraps around behind the
green while pot bunkers & the course's largest berm rise up
to snatch shots hit left or short. That shortest par-4 at Hilton
Head National is followed by the shortest par-3, a do-or-die
102-138 yarder over more pristine marshland.
