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.

Great Visit from Out of Town experience !

As a single I got paired with what seemed to be a regular. Kirk and as a fantastic host and tour guide thru the trek. Course played challenging and normally long from the whites, course was in great shape, and the staff handled club rentals of which the woods were dented on top, so some improvement could be made there. Nice practice green. I really liked it..

Best value in Miami Dade County

In Florida for the month of Feb. 2024. Played several courses in the Miami area. Not a top notch course but an excellent value for the price. Most importantly, staff are very professional and the starters are on the ball.

Not for real golfers

Wanted to play a round while in Miami. The price here was good but we quickly found that we were on a course for hacks and beginners. Caught up very quickly to a 5-some that wouldn't let us play through. Marshall came by and we made mention of it so he talked to them and got us through. We then ran into a 3-some of pure hacks. Again, no clue about letting us play through. Finished the round following them and trying to learn patience as the consistently hit the ball about 80 yds at a time.

Course is not bad with a couple holes providing challenges with water flowing through it. Most holes are pretty straightforward though.

We rented clubs. It might've been cheaper to buy the Wilson clubs provided from a sports store vs the $40 for rentals.

Solid budget friendly option!

Enjoyed myself out here! Was looking for a good, budget friendly option in the area on a nice day, and this worked great. Range, restaurant, fairly challenging but fair layout. A good alternative to some of the obscenely expensive courses in the area. I'd come back again.

Affordable, Fun Course

Had a great experience playing yesterday. The layout is kind of bizarre and the condition of the course was not great, but for the price, it was perfect.
