Palmetto Golf Course

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.

Undergoing Renovation
Was not notified that the front nine where closed. Did not find out until I checked in with the starter. Had a 12:16 tee time but Starting on the 10th hole was frustrating as it was backed up by at least 15 Golf Carts between 12:30 and 1PM. Very frustrating and painful to start 45 minutes late.
Poor Management
Course has TERRIBLE management, this is my Third time driving to this golf course that's easily 40 minutes away from me and finding out in the spot that they're is some sort of reason why I can't golf. So this time I tried to avoid any issues and called and asked what the rate was for 5pm. They said they had a "super twilight" rate of $47 after 4:45pm. So I figured PERFECT! When I finally get to the course after driving in traffic for almost an hour I get there at 4:50pm and go check in. They tell me in person that it's "only walking" after 4:45pm. So manager comes out and I tell him what's going on and if he could give me a cart this time since this information was not given to me when I called. He tells me he can't and that the ONLY lady at the desk at the time DID tell me that it was only walking. So the manager tells me l'm a lair to my face. Again... POOR MANAGEMENT.
Great course will be back
Greens were in great shape and the course was fun. I will definitely be going back. Pace was slow due to the foursome ahead of us but beyond that it was good time and the course was in very good condition.
Good layout but poor management
The course is always in okay condition, always a lot of weeds. Greens have a lot of weeds too with some greens having a good amount of bare spots but to be expected with a Public course. My main complaint is the starter not doing a good job. (Older gentleman) Refuses to send people to the back 9 (which is empty )to start when the front 9 is backed up cause a huge backup. Not sure why he does this but last few times it has been the same older gentleman, this seems to happen.
Greens need some work, it’s in better shape than it used to be.
I used to live in Miami and I am familiar with this course I was in town to meet family They installed new greens maybe 4 years ago and they are not looking good, weak and full of weeds.
Tees, fairways and slopes all weedy
Had a great round. Greens rolled fast, fairways in good shape. Pace was good. Back and forth layout means errant balls end up in other fairways. Sometimes have to wait for fairway to clear. A little pricey compared to previous pricing.
Rough shape for the price
A lot of the holes didn’t even have a fairway. The rough and the area where the fairway was supposed to be were the same. Especially on the beautiful par 5 hole 18. Whole “fairway” was long crabgrass
Condition underwhelming
Greens bad and inconsistant. Fairways not kept and shaggy. Golf carts foolishly restricted. Overpriced.
Not an enjoyable day.
Upside, staff very nice and accommodating.
Terrible experience
Rude staff Range has mats and no distance flags were out. Course is not worth the price. Always regret going here but it’s closest one to my house. Prefer walking nine at briar bay. Nicer staff and in better shape.
