Palmetto Hills Golf Club

Course was in great condition besides the two holes where renovations were being completed. GolfNow permitted the purchase of range balls for practice, but the course no longer has range practice balls so it was a waste of money with no refund possible.

Saw the reviews and low price and truly played just to see if it was as expected; unfortunately it was much worse. Poor playing experience to go along with the poor condition of the course.

Layout is somewhat hilly, with some challenging shots, particularly on the dog legs. Course is getting a lot of TLC now, so it should be in great shape within a few months. The grass was in really good shape, considering that it has been very dry due to the current drought. Would definitely recommend, especially for the price.

I played there solo on a Monday and it was a great experience. Great layout, some hills with blind shots. Course was not crowded when I played. It is obvious that they’re putting a lot of work into improving the course, because there were lots of grounds workers annd earth moving equipment out there. That can be distracting, but I took it in stride because they weren’t interfering with my round and I knew they were making the course better. Conditions were dry, but there was grass everywhere and no major bald spots. One negative was that the grill and snack bar were closed, so the only snacks were those in the pro shop (on the day I played). I will definitely play there again. Great value.

Had a teatime 1120, showed up at 10:45 and the computer systems were completely down and there’s only one guy working because the other guy overslept. Long line at the register as well as long line waiting for carts. Apparently whoever did the carts the night before must not have gassed a few of them up because they were quite a few that ran out or wouldn’t start. Gas carts over electric carts, which was weird. Course was nice with a few tight shots and the ability to carry some trees however it is very difficult to stay in the swing of things when it takes 45 minutes a hole because everybody is so backed up. Again, not trying to point fingers, but everybody was kind of given carts at the same time so everybody started playing at the same time so everyone got backed up at the same time. I skipped two holes to try to get through in a sub six our route. I am definitely not a PGA player and by no means am I even remotely good but when you have a group of four and they tee off from three separate tees that just takes a tremendous amount of time. That being said the course played nicely. Only complaint was that the water came on right as I was trying to Chip and drenched the green, but it was a nice laugh. Would probably not go back simply because it taking all afternoon kind of turned me off.

So, I am familiar with this course, and I know it's been purchased in the last few years. Hoping they can make some improvements, and I believe they are trying. Fairways are not ideal, rough is terrible. Very rocky, lot's of earth work being done near the course, so not great. Tee boxes were rock hard, so difficult to use. Course layout is actually really good for the most part, but for the money, not really inclined to return.

The course has so much potential. It is evident that they need staff because the course needs a lot of TLC. The T boxes are not in great shape. The fairways are very dry and weedy. New sod areas have died already, granted it has been dry the last few weeks. If they would put money into the state of the course I would come back and play again.

The course layout is very challenging and has potential to be fabulous. They need to charge more to keep it in better shape.

Don’t get me wrong, for the money you can’t play another full 18 holes for the price.

Pace of play was over 1 hour back by the time we finished, since nobody at the club cared. The ground is mainly hard, red dirt throughout the course, which is always fun to play. The facilities are severely lacking: dirty bathrooms, limited food and drink items, older golf carts. The course was very challenging due to the many blind shots that were required. Somebody should buy this place and turn it into a bougie 18 hole course and do what they did to the par 3 in Greenville.

Fairways are ditches. Greens are a rough as fairways. Golf cart programming was a major issue, constants shut downs and issues. With all the sponsorship of holes, expected better fairways.

The owners are putting a ton of money into redoing much of the course and it shows

Great layout, can be challenging and punishing if you don’t have your distances sorted. You can tell they’re putting a lot of money and time into the course (punched fairway, new irrigation). Cart paths and some tee boxes in rough shape, but this course is a great value. Pace of play was an issue throughout the 9 holes of play, but it was the first 80 degree Friday for the year, so the course was busy.

I need to appreciate the effort of the club to maintain this course as it is on a hilly layout.

It is good to practice the game and have fun.

I would not recommend it for players with a handicap 15 or better that wants to score well...

Many stip ups and down holes with blind spots and wet areas... it play like 7000 yards from the blue:)

Strange combinations of par 3,4 and 5.

Thanks

This is not your average wide open, bash it downrange type of golf course. With the twists, turns, elevation changes, and undulating greens, it takes planning to make a good score.

The only 2 issues that need addressing are the cart path conditions and that the sand bottles have been empty during my past 3 visits.

I always enjoy playing here because it plays differently and requires thought and planning. If you can shape shots and know you club distances, you should enjoy this place.

Good layout. But terrible condition. Fairway grass is long as the rough at other “nice” courses. Golf carts barely make it up hills, break lock only works half the time. Greens are absolutely terrible. They spent all that money last year on Hole 9 and it didn’t work. Might as well skip it bc the green is full of sand and dead grass. The new owners have let this course go drastically down hill the last 2 years
