Palmetto Golf Course

So this is an odd review to write. First the good... The staff are the friendliest and most helpful I have EVER come across. And not just "nice for Miami", but anywhere. From the guy in the pro shop to Bob the starter, the ranger and the girl in the grill, they were all really nice and very helpful. They alone made me want to possibly come back at some point. Also, the new greens and bunkers were in great shape. Ok, now the bad. The fairways are so bad that you barely notice the great greens and bunkers. I am very good at making greens in regulation and barely did all morning because of the horrid fairways. They are quite possibly the worse I have seen anywhere and are nearly unplayable. The layout if pretty average, but could be enjoyable enough if they could get the fairways under control. Nothing "fair" about them. I hope the next time I am in Miami they will have that fixed because the people there are SO nice that I would like to support their course.

It was a beautiful Satruday morning with friendly staff greeting us at the pro shop. The greens were in excellent shape, the sand traps were sandy and soft and the tee boxes were in relatively good shape. The fairways, did not complement the value of this course. They have deteriorated quickly, with the clay eating through the fairway grass that was planted a short time ago. The staff at the 19th hole are very friendly and the food is pretty good with something for everone.

The course is generally in pretty rough shape. Most if the fairways are hard pan. The greens have been redone and are quite nice.

Wings in the restaurant are great

Staff are very friendly

This course was renovated last year. The Greens are in good shape but the fairways are terrible and several tee boxes are wanting. I don't know what it is but this course has problems that no one can seem to solve. Fairways on #4 and #8 - cart paths only on these holes but the fairways are terrible. Obviously they have drainage problems here and you would think that they would have addressed them last year when the course was closed. Forget about manicuring around the greens, from bare lies to rough and about 4 different types of grasses growing making up and down play rather difficult as it is pot luck when you miss the green. New sand in bunkers so play is not easy.

Playing this course is one step below a cow pasture after the sheep ate all the grass.

The greens and bunkers were renovated in the summer of 2013 and are in great shape. The fairways, on the other hand, are the worst fairways I've ever played. They're either dry or muddy, depending on the hole, and you must clean and place your ball to make it at least playable if you're in the middle of the fairway. Overall, the price matches the conditions, but if they put money into the fairways and increased the price, the course would play amazing. The layout is challenging and the course plays pretty long.

The greens are excellent, but that's it. The fairways are very sub-par. I won't choose to play here again. The course was supposedly renovated but that was smoke and mirrors.

Slow, poor fairways.
Ok for 17 usd but not more. Fairways are very poor condition, greens not cut, hence very slow

Good course, definitely need to try to challenge the layout and your patience.

Played this course on superbowl sunday- unable to complete 9 holes in 3 hours, left before finishing as did 2 other groups waiting behind us. Paid a special rate for this weekend, would have preferred to play normal green fee and had 1/2 as many people on course. Doubt that staff can sustain new upgrades put into this course w/ volume like this.

I asked if I could tee off about a half hour early because there were so few people on the course. They said "no" and I accepted that. But then I had four different people tell me that I was playing on a free round because it was a "hot deal." It wasn't free for me, but they were dismissive and gave me the feeling that I shouldn't be there. I like the course, and I look for good deals. This is the first time this kind of attitude was ever presented to me. I won't let this one time discourage my use of Golf Now or even playing at this course, but I sure hope they aren't this way in the future. I got the feeling that they think they get no benefit from Golf Now and wish they weren't a part of the program.

Most of the staff was very nice to me, but I could tell the management sent out the word that "hot deals" are freebies. Even if they are, they should welcome "hot deal golfers" with open arms.

Excellent price,course condition are good,the course is challenging ,water hazards make it challenging

Great course. Recently renovated. Well maintained.

NEED TO IMPROVE FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH.GREENS EXCELLENT.

Course has NEW beautiful greens and white sandy bunkers! There are still minor patches of dirt but well out of the play areas.

The greens were in good condition. However, conditions of the fairways needed improvement.

I played this course a few years ago and it was in poor condition. They have added new greens that are great, the fairways are in good condition. This course is a good place to play golf.

Palmetto is in it's best condition in a decade at least--maybe ever. Palmetto now has very good greens and bunkers. This track plays much harder that the scorecard might indicate. A super challenge to shoot your handicap on this course.

Remember this course from playing it last year, but oh my goodness what horrific conditions. Painted greens, hard sand, a single drink cart on a Saturday afternoon with a lone small cooler. Will not see me on this course again unless some major upkeep suddenly occurs!

Nice layout, well maintained fairways and bunkers. Greens are brown and around the greens is pretty torn up thanks to recent irrigation construction. Still worth the money and the dead greens are better than the live greens here imo.
