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.

They did a great job redoing this course.

Recently they remodeled this course by removing some bunkers and changing some tee boxes; mostly the woman's. By doing this they made the course play move much quicker. The course looks in good shape on the day that I played from tee to green. The ball didn’t run smoothly on some greens but it wasn’t horrible. Sometimes there is not a starter to help it go smoothly. For a public course I feel that this one is in good shape and provides a good challenge for most golfers.

For a public course this course is in good shape

Staff is always friendly. They recently redid this course to help it play quicker by removing some bunkers and moving a lot of the women’s tees forward and the course the day that I played was in good shape from tee to green. On some of the greens the ball did not run as smooth but overall for a public course I wasn’t disappointed. Pace of play was good and people were polite enough to allow you to play forward.

Great course layout

They just finished redoing this course and this is the first time I had played it after they opened all 18holes. They made the play easier by taking away some bonkers and moving the women’s tees up, By doing this they made the play move quicker. The tee box, fairways and greens are in much better shape than before and the greens run true. I enjoyed playing this course and the speed of play was so much better with the new layout and I am able to score better than before. There are not many courses in Dade County and I am very happy with what they did with this course.

Good course, but not great!

Although the back 9 was just opened up from having it redone, I still feel like the fairways are a bit patchy and some mucky. Greens are in great conditions along with the fringes, tee boxes were also in great condition

Rain, Rain, Go Away

We have attempted to play this course 2 times within the last year. The clubhouse staff was very nice. The check-in process and clubhouse are clean and have a nice setup.

Both times we have played the course it has rained flooding the course. This is a Municipal Course so conditions of fairways, rough, traps, etc are in much need of improvement. The back 9 is still under construction until August 23 (we were told).

There is a nice driving range, go-carts, and mini putt course there also. We did not use any of these amenities.

Will chose to play other courses in the area.

Bad information

I was never told the back one was closed, the Ranger was practicing golf instead of looking at people that don’t know how to play nor les better player go. Horrible

Dont use golf now to book your tee time !! Call the course..

If you call the course and book a tee time there its only $20 and the back 9 is under construction til June..

Would have been nice to have been told this on the Golf Now App, instead of being charged $50 and only being able to play the front 9…

Check First

When booking we were not informed the front 9 was closed for rennos. We arrived for our tee time and informed we would be playing the back 9 twice which was fine but we were told we wound have to wait until there was a break from groups making the turn. That was a full hour. Pace of play was then very slow. We have up after 9 as we had already been there for over 3.5 hours.

The fairways and greens were in good shape for the 9 that was open, bunkers were decent. The tee blocks need work but not a big deal.

The staff are friendly so that helped.

Overall, I would recommend making sure the full 18 are open before booking. I’m sure normally it’s a much better experience.

I’d give them a second chance in the future.

Bunker Hill

The course was fun but quite challenging with bunkers crowded around several greens. never hit so many bunkers in all my time at playing golf and produced a high scoring game. Additionally the front 9 was closed so we had to replay the back nine.
