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..

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.

Did not get monies worth

Booked thru golf now. 10:50 tee time. Upon arrival, told we had to finish by 2:00. We were able to start early, but course was full and we waited every hole. Ended up playing about 14 holes by skipping some, and playing thru larger groups.

We got screwed

We booked on line with Golf Now and fortunately arrived early. Had a 10:50. Upon arrival we were told that we could not play 18 hole’s because the course closed at 2:00. Because it was a holiday. No refund or rain check. We managed 14 holes by starting early and being able to play thru a group of 8.

They did a great job redoing this course.

Recently they remodeled this course by removing some bunkers and changing some tee boxes; mostly the woman's. By doing this they made the course play move much quicker. The course looks in good shape on the day that I played from tee to green. The ball didn’t run smoothly on some greens but it wasn’t horrible. Sometimes there is not a starter to help it go smoothly. For a public course I feel that this one is in good shape and provides a good challenge for most golfers.

For a public course this course is in good shape

Staff is always friendly. They recently redid this course to help it play quicker by removing some bunkers and moving a lot of the women’s tees forward and the course the day that I played was in good shape from tee to green. On some of the greens the ball did not run as smooth but overall for a public course I wasn’t disappointed. Pace of play was good and people were polite enough to allow you to play forward.
