Palmetto Hills Golf Club

I didn't "dislike" this course, but I also played on one of the special Hot Deals for the Christmas season.

The layout is actually fun. It provides a nice mix of challenge with decision making, but it also has some pretty forgiving spots on the course. Pretty much every hole has some type of elevation change. The greens were not too fast.

It looks like they're still updating the course. Hole 13 was closed so the guy in the pro shop said to replay either 1 or 10. That made it play par 71 instead of 72 (13 is their "signature" par 5).

The carts have GPS which is nice, but they have issues which cause your cart to shut down if it decides you are in an area you shouldn't be on. I had to drive down the cart path on hole 13 in reverse, because one of the course workers said they have to fix the GPS.

All in all, in its' current shape, I'd play this on a deal, but not full price. It will be worth another try in the future.

Even though it was still under construction it was a lot of fun and you could tell they are putting some love into it.

The course has been under construction/improvement for a couple of years now, and it is very much a positive work in progress.

The layout of the course is very challenging with the blind curves, hills, valleys, slopes, 60’s/70’s era fairway widths and slow rolling greens. You will definitely be doing mental calculations plotting your route throughout the course instead of just slamming long drives down range.

The cart paths are still in rough condition, but it is understandable with the construction. The carts are current production with GPS screens. The putting green is moderately small, but big enough to warm up your putter and get the green speed down before play begins.

I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and will definitely be returning again. I look forward to seeing it once all of the work has been completed.

Course is under serious repairs but besides that, the front 9 which is all we played since we hated it and quit after that is just a bad track. We don't know how the back 9 is like but if they are anything like the fromt 9, it would be bad too.

Clubhouse didn’t have ANY pencils for the scorecard. Major backlog with no starter put us behind schedule before we even teed off. The foursome in front of us paid no attention to anyone behind them & wouldn’t allow us to play through. After 5-1/2 agonizing holes we finally just drove around them. Two holes on the course were under renovation (no one told us this & still paid full price). One of those “holes” was 78 yards. You literally were putting on a. Fairway on both of those.

The only thing okay were the golf carts.

I wish I could give this 0/5 stars it was horrible. Will not be returning and will tell all my friends to give business elsewhere.

Had groups of six or more playing together. Course is closed in section 13 is not there at all now. Got cut back through everyone.

Haven’t played here in 2 years. Course is in better shape than before. Will really be nice once all the construction is done. Played early in the morning so pace of play was fine.

Course was in good shape, a couple of holes were make shift holes but other than that it was good

Course was in decent shape, they were doing a work to the course but overall I enjoyed the round

Was very surprised at the quality of the course. When construction is finished and all holes are playable it will be awesome!

They are doing a ton of work on the course and I’m hoping that the fees don’t go up too much

great course, super fun very beautiful Mountain View while golfing. I know they were doing some construction but a couple greens needed some HEAVY attention. Other than a couple greens not being the best everything thing else was great. (Oh they definitely need to hire a cook and get the snack bar going I’ll bet they would make a killing selling sandwiches there.)

Construction around the course leaves less than desirable conditions on some holes.

Patchy greens on some holes.

Can’t fix divots as the refill cans are always empty.

Now, the good:

A challenging course with curves, doglegs, and changes in elevation.

Slow rolling greens complete the 70-80’s feel of the course.

I always enjoy my time here.
