Longwood Golf Club - Palmetto Course

COVID19 protocols done well though there were no flagsticks at all here. I think a "no touch" flagstick on inverted cups policy is sufficiently protective as is done by other courses. Played Palmetto/Post Oak safely alone in less than 3 hours. I would play here again for sure.

The courses were nice overall, but could feel a bit crowded with the 3 courses' cart paths winding though one another in the forest of massive trees. The tee boxes, greens, and cart path were all worn down and looked like they needed a breath of life. We've had a ton of rain in the last couple weeks and when I played Cypress Lakes down the road 2 days later, their course looked to be in tip-top shape (but for 15 bucks more a person).

It was like golfing in the wilderness which had pros and cons. We managed to see many deer, rabbits, squirrels, lizards, turtles, etc, which was really cool and unique.

The course was still by all means playable, and had really great challenging but fair holes, with greens that rolled true aside from the occasional blot of rot, which made the outing fun from a pure playing perspective. But when I pay nearly 60 bucks a person I generally expect the course to look a bit more manicured and to have very welcoming and helpful staff to take the value to the next level. IMO Longwood seems to be at a point where I would not be surprised if it is thriving or dying in the next few years, based on how they take advantage of the place's potential.

I Scheduled a TT via GN, when i arrived we checked in, we went to the started to get score card, he told us we dont have nothing to give you, there are no score cards nor pencils to use. We went to the first hole and notice after the first shot that there were no flags, no one said nothing about that, none of the holes had flags, we didn't have a card to show us where the pings were so we were shooting at the greens blindly. The service is horrible plus they are charging premium weekend rates during the week for this crap. While everyone is out of work, they are taking advantage of our national crisis and screwing the same people that keep them in business. that is pathetic !! what a sorry organization, no sympathy for no one.

The course is in bad shape even though fewer people are on it these days. Patrons arent repairing ball marks and since they took the sand away divots arent being repaired. Honestly, they should shut it down, resurface the greens and reseed. Only play this course if you can't afford to play a better one and if this one is less than $25. Warning, the greens are bad, some of them are borderline unplayable.

I understand this is the transition period for grass and the greens, even though fewer traffic, are bumpy and not well maintained. Several dead spot and people not fixing divots. They should have shut the course down completely and sanded all the greens to fix the impurities and give it a break. Tee boxes were tall. This course has some serious potential and I think the patrons need to play and do their part to help. Picking feet up on the greens, fixing divots, repair divot marks, etc... all of the stuff that comes with playing.

The green speed changes every time you play this course and the conditions of the greens could be better but as far as the layout of the course and the approaches to the green Longwood keeps you challenged on par fours and part threes. A fun track!

Golf course is overrated. Green really bad bad you can even practice here.

Good pace of play, interesting layout and good amenities.

The course was in great shape. The layout was interesting and entertaining. Pace of play was handled perfectly by the starter. Will be back again.

The course is garbage. I grew up playing Longwood. It’s easily in the worst shape it has ever been. I understand that Harvey damaged the course in 2017, that’s fine, but that’s not really a valid excuse anymore. They must have a $0.00 annual budget for course maintenance. It’s the only explanation. Tee boxes are trash and unkept. Greens are untrue and full of sand patches and weeds. Dead grass and mud patches all over the fairway, greens, and fringes. Cart paths are so inconsistent you feel like you’re on an off-road 4x4 track. Cant forget last time I played when my golf cart died before we made it to the back 9. Everywhere you look there’s an eye sore at this place. Attention to detail definitely not Longwoods specialty. I come back to play every couple months with the hope that there will be any signs of improvement but it’s never there. I play munis around town in much better shape. If you take golf even a little bit seriously, you’ll be disappointed. Take your money somewhere else. Longwood should be $25-30 course max, not $60.

I play this course a lot the last month something has gone wrong. The course awhile back seemed like it was coming along. The greens were getting better rolling good. Fairways seemed to be coming along. But last 3 times out very disappointing greens are not good fairways dropped off a lot. Bunkers were worked on awhile back have gone south. This could be an amazing place if owners took some pride in it to bad

Played this course many times but probably the worst I have seen the greens. They are currently almost unplayable due to a mix of sand, unevenness and some mushy oft green colored areas. Tee boxes need some attention and the fairways are bare and tight.

This was my first time playing this course and I have already contacted two other friends to tell them about the course. My friend and I have decided to have a standing "golf play date." Had a super fun time!

Had an early tee time. Course was a little wet in the morning. Greens were a little slow. Once the water dried up, the greens ran well. The course looked great. Good pace of play. The course was not too crowded. All in all a good experience and will definitely be back for more rounds.

started our round on palmetto at 7am. made the turn on Post and was backed up with late starters. abandoned the round. Mgmt said we played too fast. prob won't be playing Longwood in a while .
