Palmetto Golf Course
About
Palmetto Golf Course gets its name from the beautiful palmetto trees that line the fairways and meandering waterways. Although they add to the scenery, the trees double as a challenging element of the course since they can also affect shots. The golf course was designed by Dick Wilson, who has designed many other courses in the area. Water hazards come into play on 10 holes of the course, including the notable signature hole, which a 435-yard par-4. There are also sand bunkers strategically placed throughout. The Palmetto Golf Course facility boasts lighted practice facilities, including a practice putting green and driving range.

Palmetto
Tee times start 8 min apart then go to 5 min apart which backs the course up like crazy! Not a bad course but obviously money grabbing trying to stack up tee times. Makes it unenjoyable to the golfer who plays there consistently
Nice Layout , condition needs help
Course needs maintenance improvements, weeds throughout course which impedes grass growth. Course not a value for the money. The greens were in nice condition. Fairways need help.
Not Good-Horrendous Value
Miami-Dade thinks more of itself than the reality that exists. Just because “Miami” is in the name doesn’t mean you can charge Miami rates. Greens were decent enough, staff is friendly but the golf is horrendous.
There is no way to tell when the fairway meets the rough when the long Bermuda grass and dollar weeds are ever present everywhere. How it is even legal to pay $90/round for such bad fairways is unknown to me.
I am a Miami resident and not a tourist and been on every course in Miami. This is comparable to Shula’s Par 3 after it was abandoned.
No rangers on the course either to keep play moving.
Disappointing say to say the least.
Save your money.
The worst
TEE Time at 12h with 8 kids in front us with no regards of pace of play and no marshall on the ground. 80$ non refundable quit after 9 homes in 2h30.
Worst Course in Miami
I’ve played this course for years. They went through some renovations over the last 2 years. I guess in their mind that justifies DOUBLING the price. I promise you… it absolutely does not. Before shelling out $100 to play here, please realize this course used to be less than $50 to play in the morning in the weekend. Unless you enjoy a 5+ hour round, hitting balls off fairways full of dry patches and dirt, teeing off from God awful tee boxes, and putting on greens with weeds every other inch, do NOT play here.
There is 0 redeeming quality to the golf course. Other than the Sports Grille that’s on the property. Save yourself from experiencing the horrible conditions, pace of play, and grab yourself some special grille wings. That’s the only reason to ever visit Palmetto Golf Course nowadays.
It’s sad to see how poor this course has become. It used to be a great place for locals to play, catch quick twilight rounds for a good price, and enjoy some great food afterwards. If you’re looking for a tee time and consider this course please take my words into account. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. No matter how hard you want to play golf. Hit the range, or hit some balls in your backyard. I promise, you’re better off that way. If I could give this less than 1 star I would.
Poor Management
Course has TERRIBLE management, this is my Third time driving to this golf course that's easily 40 minutes away from me and finding out in the spot that they're is some sort of reason why I can't golf. So this time I tried to avoid any issues and called and asked what the rate was for 5pm. They said they had a "super twilight" rate of $47 after 4:45pm. So I figured PERFECT! When I finally get to the course after driving in traffic for almost an hour I get there at 4:50pm and go check in. They tell me in person that it's "only walking" after 4:45pm. So manager comes out and I tell him what's going on and if he could give me a cart this time since this information was not given to me when I called. He tells me he can't and that the ONLY lady at the desk at the time DID tell me that it was only walking. So the manager tells me l'm a lair to my face. Again... POOR MANAGEMENT.
Great course will be back
Greens were in great shape and the course was fun. I will definitely be going back. Pace was slow due to the foursome ahead of us but beyond that it was good time and the course was in very good condition.
Good layout but poor management
The course is always in okay condition, always a lot of weeds. Greens have a lot of weeds too with some greens having a good amount of bare spots but to be expected with a Public course. My main complaint is the starter not doing a good job. (Older gentleman) Refuses to send people to the back 9 (which is empty )to start when the front 9 is backed up cause a huge backup. Not sure why he does this but last few times it has been the same older gentleman, this seems to happen.
Greens need some work, it’s in better shape than it used to be.
I used to live in Miami and I am familiar with this course I was in town to meet family They installed new greens maybe 4 years ago and they are not looking good, weak and full of weeds.
Tees, fairways and slopes all weedy
Had a great round. Greens rolled fast, fairways in good shape. Pace was good. Back and forth layout means errant balls end up in other fairways. Sometimes have to wait for fairway to clear. A little pricey compared to previous pricing.
