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.

Greens are horrendous
Worst greens I’ve ever encountered playing golf, it’s a shame because it has the potential to be a very nice and challenging course. I was speaking with the starter and apparently the reason the greens are so bad is because there was apparently a mistake made by the green keepers where they put the wrong type of fertilizer on the greens or something. Hopefully they can clean up this absolute mess of a course. Don’t waste your money.
Atrocious shape
This course is in atrocious shape. It looks like goat field. It's sad that thiey renovated the greens only to make them worse than they were before. The fairways are non existent, most if not all have been overrun by st augustine. St Augustine is not grass you would find at a golf course. Some fairways don't even have grass on them, just mud I can't believe the city charges this much to play in such a poorly maintained course. Today I learned a new word, grunker, that's when the grass is so dead on a green that it turns into a bunker. I do hear that there's a new superintendent running the place, maybe he can pull a miracle a bring this place back to decent shape
Poor tee box and badly maintained greens
Fairways were good overall course layout is interesting but the greens and tee box’s are in bad condition with no grass.
Greens and Tee box damage
The greens and tee boxes are in poor condition with many bare patches on the greens and no grass on some of the tee boxes where markers have been placed.
Brutal place
Everything about it was trash. They claim the greens are new missing grass on all of them. You’re better off playing in the woods with the grass how it is there
Repair this Course
I have not played this course in a few years. The course was in need of repair. The starter was overwhelmed and confused. There was a small sun shower and the course turned into a mud track. Paid $80 for 18 holes (each player) and could only play 7 holes. This course needs to be closed for repairs.
Mud Track
This course is poorly maintained. Course needs to be closed for repairs. Starter was confused and overwhelmed. There was a short sun shower that changed the course into a mud track. After the 7th hole, the course became unplayable. Paid $80.00 for 18 holes-only played 7 holes.
Do better.
The course as a whole could be much better if they only had friendlier staff specifically golf cart attendees, they were not rude, just not engaging or pleasant . The course was in terrible condition considering the busy season is upon us in south Florida. It’s marketed as a premier golfing experience but it’s really just a mediocre county owned facility.
Horrible greens
The greens were awful big dead spots on every green and so slow rolled out at all.
Palmetto
Lost three balls in the rough. It’s way too thick!
Every green was full of sand . Horrible putting conditions!
The course has good potential if the sand dissipates and the rough gets cut.
