Colonial Charters Golf Club (formerly known as Palmetto Greens) is located in Longs, S.C. near Myrtle Beach. It has a laid-back atmosphere and is known for its consistently good conditions. The layout will test your accuracy with narrow, fairways and a variety of water hazards and sand traps. Golfers will encounter water on nearly every hole, two of them feature greenside waterfalls. There are also several strategically placed bunkers throughout the golf course and mature hardwoods line the fairways. There are a few challenging holes but overall it is player friendly enough for any skill level to approach with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Colonial Charters Golf Club has a practice facility with a driving range and chipping and putting areas. For those who are still learning, there are PGA Professionals available for lessons.

Good value

Layout was good but course conditions were not on par with other MB courses. Fairways were very firm and dry (lots of ball roll - sometimes it helped, sometimes not). Very friendly staff. Under new mgmt so course conditions may improve. Overall, good value for the rate we paid. Would play again next year.

Colonial charter golf course

1st time playing and enjoyed it. Some tee boxes need yo be leveled. Holes very easy to get to so that helped lower my scores. Faculty was very friendly. View was beautiful, fairways were very good. Will play here again.

Paired up

Did not appreciate being paired up . We should have been told somewhere when we booked this on golfnow. The couple we were paired with we're far superior to play than we were and it resulted in an uncomfortable atmosphere for all.

Colonial

My wife and I played this course for the first time on 11Sept14..the guy checking us in, Ed, and John, the fellow who got our cart ready were very friendly and helpful...course was in very good condition..only two small negatives...the cart paths were in places pretty rough and course due to tree roots, the other was we got behind a ladies' foursome that was the last a group playing a championship round for some league...was a bit slow at times, but overall not too bad...still finished in 4 hrs, but we did wait on almost every tee till we got to the last 3-4 holes...would play there again if the opportunity arises....

Great and fun layout

On many holes you can opt out of the big stick, but if hit well, the reward is great! It's a fun layout for all golfers and provides several scoring opportunities. Great price and an awesome, courteous staff make for a very pleasant experience.

The course has great potential

Not a long course even from current tips, but narrow fairways do require accurate shots from tee box and the small greens require accuracy with approach shots too. The greens had a few bad spots which could have been avoided with better pin placement

Great price

I am a new golfer so the price is awesome at Palmetto Greens. The course needs a ton of work and I don't recommend the course if you're an avid golfer - you will be disappointed. Make sure you bring your own food and drinks because their kitchen is shut down. If you are new to golf or are looking for a great deal, I recommend Palmetto Greens. Hit 'em good!

Great value!

I'd seen reviews that were less than glowing about this course but I figured for the cost, distance from where I was staying, and my playing ability that it would be worth a try.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course! It was far better than I expected. The 'ugliest' area is the practice range. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are well maintained. A good mix of sand and water hazards present enough challenges and there are some long holes worthy of par 5. The staff was very friendly and accommodated my request to rain-check the back nine until the next morning. The only downside I have to report is that there was no food service, but they will allow coolers & snacks.

Nice layout. Not maintaned well. More cost cutting going on than grass cutting

Nice challenging layout. Looks like it was a nice place at one time. One wonders why some courses make it and some don't. Needed a lot of grass mowing. Greens were the best part of the course. Fairways were rock hard and needed watering bad. Tees needed mowing as well as a lot of other areas of the course. I think this could be a nice course again but would take a lot of money pumped into it.

neeDs lots of tlc

COURSE IS IN PROCESS OF BEING SOLD. PRIOR OWNER CARED MORE ABOUT SELLING LOTS AROUND THE COURSE AND LESS ABOUT THE GOLF. YOUNG MAN SENT TO RUN THE COURSE IN CURRENT CONDITION IS TRYING TO DO IT ALL, DOING BEST HE COULD AS PRO, SHOP CLERK , STARTER, AND CART PERSON. SIGNS OF NEGLECT ALL AROUND COURSE, GRASS UNCUT ON TEE BOXES, POT HOLES ON CART PATH, BEDS OVERGROWN. A REAL SHAME BECAUSE COURSE IS LAID OUT WELL. COULD BE A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE
