Getting better
They have gone some good work on the course. It had gotten run down. But I was pleasantly surprised with bye improvement. They need to badly work on the ninth green, which looks bad, and is the first you see when you enter the course. All the other greens are much better.
Unplayable
Course was deplorable unplayable. Fairways were soaked and little or no grass to hit from. Had to keep moving the ball to find an area dry enough to hit from.
Left after nine holes. I would not recommend this course .
Course has great bones, just needs some more TLC
I can tell this place has had some improvements and effort put into it recently. With a continuation of this effort, the layout can really shine more. Definitely will be back as conditions improve in the spring
Good course for money
Pretty good course. Got confused a couple times and a few of the greens weren’t in the best condition, but overall it was pretty good!
New Ownership - getting better
Under renovations with new owners… this course will be awesome in a season or two. They’re definitely doing good work on the course.
Challenging and unique to the area
Much like many, I saw reviews and didn’t expect much especially the time of year it is. What I found was a very peaceful almost mountain feel of a course. Carts were new and had monitors, very nice. The course has constant elevation changes and that can present new challenges if you’re used to flat courses. Greens were very inconsistent speed wise. Some were smooth while a couple would bounce a bit.. But for the value I didn’t mind. Two greens that I can recall had bad spots but were minor and avoidable. Fairways were bare in spots but again, given the rain we’ve had and time of year, I expect as much. Pace of play was great even though it was cart path only. Layout keeps you engaged and punishes you for missing fairways. Follow the suggestions on the card and you’ll be fine. Accuracy off the tee is a must.
For the money it’s a course to play at least once to experience the layout. If the greens improve it would be a must play for the area.
Getting better
This course has been really bad last few times I played a couple years ago. But under new management seems to be coming along. I would play again and excited to see what’s to come because i like the layout of course

Bad day coming here
Not enough golf carts there to keep a correct tee time or go to that driving range.the cart we had brake lock so we used a rock under tire alot, leaf spinges bad making cart bottom out, steering was bad. Course is getting bad after playing here for 18 years this is the worsti have ever seen it. Letting 2 players play with on golf bag on a holiday, slow players and we done 9 and got to 10 it was so bad packed up one of our player's dropped out and went home . we jumped to #11, good choice to was no one in front of the group trying to get the ball over the lake. I won't be back till cart s are better and more of them, and a ranger to keep golfers pace.My view All courses need improvement but this one's is bad. Makes for a bad golf day.

Reliable
I’ve played this course multiple times and I always have a good time. I consider this my home course as the prices are always great and the pace of play is amazing as the course isn’t that popular. The course has a beautiful layout for being pretty much in the middle of nowhere on the edge of Spartanburg. The uphill fairways offer a challenge that I find fun while improving every time I play. The only issue is the greens can be a little rough with recent punches and bald patches, but management seems to be trying to make improvements as of late. Overall, I love this course and will continue to return.
Thank you for your review, landont16. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Palmetto Hills Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Much better than before!
I left a bad review here about 6 months ago. I’m currently playing as I write this review. The golf course looks at least five times better than I’ve ever seen it before. The fairways are cut and full, tee boxes look fairly well, and the greens are rolling nicely. There is a few bald spots here and there, but for the most part, the golf course is in good shape. I will be back.
Don’t let that green keeper go! As a matter of fact give him a raise. It’s obvious he takes pride in his work!

Golfnow did not notify me of them punching the greens!
We apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding the greens. We will look into this matter and take appropriate action to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. Thank you for your feedback.
Lots of potential
Really need to hire a greens keeper. Fairways in rough shape. The course could be great but needs a lot of work. Weeds in the fairways, tee boxes beat up, and cart paths need work. Used to be one of my favorite courses.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the condition of the course and are actively working to improve its overall quality. Your feedback is valuable to us in maintaining our commitment to providing a great golfing experience.
