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.

Poor course management from starter to pace of play

From the beginning the starter was struggling to begin the course at pace. It was so bad. I paid for the entire round of 18 holes and at the turn after nine hole I excused myself from the foursome and went home. I would not recommend this course to players who are serious about the game

Enjoyable for the price

Greens a are little banged up from Egyptian geese and iguanas. Fairways and Tee box were in good condition. Golf carts have GPS and work fine no issues.

Papa & grandson (14) outing

The price I put in reflects rental clubs for both of us, box of balls and a glove so it was reasonable & grandson is a youth on course member We're from Maine so anything above 75 is hot to us. Overall, we had a great time, course was in great shape imo, and pace of play was pretty good until the end , slow group ahead of the two of us. The staff in all areas from pro shop to starter and food service was outstanding. Very friendly and accommodating. Course was challenging , but not overly so. I would recommend playing this course for sure.

Stay away do not get ripped off

We rented 3 sets of golf clubs. The quality of the clubs was terrible. The driver head went flying, separating cleanly from the shaft, on three separate clubs. They ended up charging us almost 800 dollars on top of the original fee. I think this is a scam. They charge as much if the clubs get damaged as if you lose the clubs. I will bet you they do some shoddy repair for $50 and then place them right back in for the next loser to get scammed. I told them - if they are lost then give them to me, I will take them and throw them away so at least the next patron gets a new club. They refused. I ended up spending $1100+ for 3 people. I will never play there again as long as I live.

Party of 6 guys ahead of me

When I made the staff aware they just limited to ask them to play fast. Unacceptable. At the end, I spoke with the chief ranger and he said that they were playing at a fast pace. Totally not true. They finish their round in 4 hours 45 minutes

Never Again

The starter let his friends who didn’t have a tee time cut in front of my tee time. It created an absolute clusterfuck. He then asked my group to skip to hole #2 (despite us being there ahead of our tee time). When we got to hole #2 we found this just happened to another group. The starter drove out and asked us to come back to hole #1. If this sounds confusing, I promise it was even worse in person.

On top of the starter being incompetent, the front 9 took 3 hours. I walked off after 9 and will never step foot on this course again.

Average conditions. Worth the money (it was a hot deal tee time from GolfNow)

Average fairways, nice greens, very polite guy in the stater position. Slow pace of play. Awful service at the bar/restaurant.. Tried to buy some snacks and beverages when going from 9th hole to 10th, 3 people at the counter and nobody came to take my order. Had to leave with empty hands to avoid impacting the pace of play.

Bad Rules Enforcement

A party of 6 people was ahead of mine. They were sig significantly slowing the pace.

I made the course head ranger and he said that there was not much else they could do other than telling them not to do it.

He also justify them saying they played the round in 4.5 hours. First of all that isn’t tru as they took close to 5 hours and second even 4.5 hours is too much.

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.
