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.

Getting better each day

Great value for the price. Greens have been redone and are a major improvement over last season. Multiple forced carries over water and quite a few lateral water hazards also. Great course for snowbirds who can not get local rates at the resort courses or have no desire to pay that much for a winter round of golf.

A nice place to be

We play this course twice in a week and we love it. The staff is awesome, very friendly and helpfull.

The course is a slepping beauty. OK, the first nine needs some work and "love". But we have seen a few greenkeeper, they are doing the jobs. But the back nine are in very good condition for november and very nice! The Course is a little bit challenging!

The back nine are really beautyfull holes!

I think the course have a hard impact trough the financial crisis the last years, but folks get there and play, so the Palmetto Golf and Country Club can still live!

The Carts we drove, are all very good. Everything works and they was clean.

At the time we play this course, there are not so many players there, so we can play a fast round!

Amazing price offers, you must see!!!!

Nice layout.

The course was pretty wet. Apparently, this area has had a lot of rain this month. So, the tee boxes & fairways hadn't been mowed for awhile. The cart paths need some work; but, great cart paths are not one of my priorities. This course has some tough holes. I liked the layout and enjoyed playing the course. For what I paid, this was a steal. I would play this course again.

Okay for the price.

This course is in pretty rough shape but an okay course for the $24 we paid on GolfNow. The greens were super slow and not in good shape. Cart paths are in disrepair. There are some very challenging holes and water carries on quite a few.

Much improved

We really like Palmetto, and have been golfing there for years, it is a beautiful course with some challenging holes, the course is well layer out. 2 years ago we stopped going there because of the declining conditions of the course, however we went this year again, and I am happy to say the course is much improved, the greens are in great shape compared to my last time there, and there is signs of improvements around the course, staff was very friendly, great job Palmetto!

Playable with some challenging holes.

The course is fair, average condition but improving. Needs some work on drainage due to damp places. All in all, a good value for the money.

Poor conditioned golf course

This course needs significant work in terms of maintenance and day-to-day upkeep. Bunkers have little to no sand and many weeds. Greens are in very poor condition with little evidence of regular rotation of cups. Fairways were not draining correctly from recent rain but also needed attention ( bare spots). Unless you are looking for a very inexpensive round of golf and do not care about the conditions of the course, stay away. One staff member was friendly and put up a brave face despite the course conditions.

Nice layout but undergoing renovation

We first played this course in early spring knowing that it was a course recently resurrected and therefore a work in process. We found the course to have wide fairways, many water holes and a back nine layout we enjoyed. The greens were in bad shape and tees were in need of work. We played the course again in September and found greens and some tees to be in much better condition as management continues to invest in upgrading the course. The carts are old but clean and functional. The staff is friendly and informative. The course still needs work but has the potential to be one of the better plays in the future. The course is a fair test for all average golfers.
