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.

Pace of play

I found myself behind a twosome who had no idea of golf etiquette. They stayed in the long grass and trees and constantly would hit a second and even third shot. I feel if a marshall was roaming the coures he/she would correct this type of activity. Other than that I have always like this course and it's challenges. Will continue to play here but would appreciate a marshall.

It’s absolutely worth to play here.

It takes from 2.5 hours from Naples to drive here, but still it’s worth.

Slow Pace of Play

I have not come back to Palmetto in years because it is notoriously slow. Unfortunately, it was the same case yesterday. We had to skip 3 holes in order to get a round completed in 5.5 hours.

This course needs work

Fairways and especially greens need repair work. Large patches of plain sand and damaged grass on greens.

Nice Course

When we got to the starter, he warned us that it was a challenging course. The canal that runs through it adds a water hazard to many of the hole. Well tended. Fairways were mixed with funky grass sometimes. We enjoyed it.
