A couple of nearly dead greens.

Some of the greens were nearly dead. Like the whole dang putting green. Not sure what they did. They might not come back this summer. #9 and another. Maybe a few more I was too drunk to remember, however they were severely damaged from lack of maintenance, or someone applying too much fertilizer, or the wrong chemical. Poa annua (a common weed) completely filling the fairways on every hole. Many tee boxes were mainly dirt. The employees were excellent, which is actually a big plus for me.

Worst Course in Upstate

I’ve played almost every course within 2 hes of Greenville and this is as bad as it gets. Don’t waste your time or money.

Everything about it was awful. I don’t know how they stay in business.

Worst course I have ever played

This course is a washed out gully. There are no fairways and no grass. Greens are as hard as concrete. They have no carts. I waited 35 minutes to get one coming in from a round. It broke down 5 holes in and so did some other peoples. I had to drive backwards for part of the day because the cart would not move forward. The cafe is closed. The cart path is broken up and there are chunks of asphalt scattered around the course. I don’t know how this place is in business or why anyone would play there.

Great mountain course

Course is in better condition than others for twice the price. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Lots of elevation changes and blind holes that force smart play not just grip a rip style. This is my go to home course even though it’s further away than others. No cart girls but the beer cooler at the turn is always ice cold.

This course is well designed

Really nice course, the cart has their built in GPS feature that I really liked. First time to the course and actually enjoyed the course. Loved the way the course is designed to the perfect difficulty level for beginners and for pros. Will visit again and would definitely recommend for first timers.

Nice course but slow pace of play

It’s a pretty place to play. At the time we played there was two groups of five which made the play really slow.

Last Minute Round

I played Palmetto Hills for the 2nd time yesterday and it did not change my opinion on the course much. The entire place has an old run down feel to it, and not much work is going on to take care of the golf course. This was a quick, last minute round, and this course is good for that bc it generally doesnt fill up (there is a reason it doesnt fill up). The girl in the pro shop was really nice, and they have newer carts with GPS which is probably the best thing about the course. The layout itself is interesting and at times maybe a little quirky. Very hilly with alot of elevation changes. The cart path would rattle your teeth and on 11 people had been driving up the fairway through the grass to avoid the huge potholes in the path. On a par 5 on the back a tree had fallen on the cart part during the hurricane and it still has not been removed. So everyone drove around it through the grass and mud. The greens all needed rolling at the very least. They were extremely slow and generally fuzzy. A few were in really rough shape. Holes 9 and 14 stand out as having really bad greens. It wasnt overly busy the day I played, but a 5 some played in front of me and did not allow me to play through, so the pace of play was terrible. All in all, if you need a last minute round and cant find anywhere else, or do not want to pay as much this place is good for that, otherwise, I would avoid. I will probably go back eventually, but it wont be soon.

Great customer service!

Course owner went out of their way to ensure I was able to play a round, even though weather conditions were far from ideal. Unbelievable customer service; truly went above and beyond what was necessary to ensure a great experience. In addition - course has undergone some major positive changes and is very enjoyable to play every time. Elevation changes and wide open fairways make the course more challenging than it appears. Will play here again - I am certain.

Great bang for your buck

I haven’t been able to run out last minute and quickly play a round in a long time due to how packed courses have become. This gem challenges your shot making ability while still being able to play a sub 5 hr round for under $40. The green have some rough spots but I will take them for the value. Will be back.
