The Robert Cupp Course at Palmetto Hall stands in stark contrast to its Arthur Hills counterpart, offering a unique and innovative design that is both visually striking and strategically challenging. Designed by Robert Cupp, this course is known for its geometry-influenced layout, which incorporates sharp angles and straight lines—features that are rarely seen in traditional golf course design.  The layout features straight lines and sharp angles that create a striking visual contrast with the natural landscape of the Lowcountry. This innovative design approach adds an extra layer of strategic depth to the course, as golfers must carefully navigate the sharp angles and consider the geometry of each hole when planning their shots..  The Robert Cupp Course was designed to be accessible to golfers of all skill levels, featuring generous fairways that provide ample room for tee shots. However, the course is by no means easy, as it incorporates a variety of strategic water hazards and bunkers that challenge players to think carefully about their shot selection. The bunkers are particularly noteworthy, with sharp-angled edges and steep slopes that demand precision to avoid. These hazards are not only challenging but also contribute to the course’s overall aesthetic, adding a unique visual element to each hole.                    

Signature Hole – Hole 7, Par 3: The 7th hole is perhaps the most iconic on the Robert Cupp Course, showcasing the geometric design in full effect. This par-3 features a green that is almost perfectly square, framed by sharp-edged bunkers that create a stark visual contrast. The hole plays over a water hazard, with the green positioned at a slight angle to the tee, making distance control and accuracy essential. The unique design of this hole makes it a memorable challenge and a highlight of any round at Palmetto Hall.
