History

Palmetto Hall Plantation was developed in the early 1990s as a private golf community on the northern end of Hilton Head Island, presenting itself through a dramatic antebellum-style brick entrance gate flanked by avenue oaks — an architectural nod to the lowcountry plantation tradition. The Arthur Hills Course, which opened in 1991, was built on the grounds of a former Civil War garrison and was immediately named one of Golf Digest's Top 10 New Courses in America; Golf Digest has since rated it 4 stars and listed it among best places to play. The Robert Cupp Course opened in 1993 to equally strong reviews — Cupp, named Golf World's Architect of the Year, designed a course that earned praise for its balance of challenge and playability. Both courses hold Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification. Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club is managed by Heritage Golf Group.

Both courses hold Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary status, reflecting the community's environmental stewardship. Membership in the Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club is required in addition to POA dues, making this a golf-centric community for serious players.
