Palmetto Hills Golf Club

Hadn’t gotten to play in a while. Sun came out on a Saturday and I started looking for a last minute round. Not a lot available on Saturdays so I went with this place bc they had plenty of times available. Based on this and previous reviews my expectations weren’t very high. And the course just about met my expectations. It’s not in very good shape. A lot of weeds everywhere. Greens with a lot of Poa in them. Slow and bumpy in spots. The layout is actually pretty interesting. Very hilly and a lot of elevation changes. But it’s in such rough shape right now. It needs alot of work in order to be in good shape. And they are doing some work. Bc there was heavy machinery sitting in the middle of the 17th fairway. I probably won’t go back unless in the same boat where I’m looking for a cheaper last minute round at a busy time.

Course needs some work. Fairways are patchy and made up more of clumps of grass on a lot of holes rather than a consistent lawn. Greens need the most work though. Lots of bad spots on them and almost no grass to hold the ball from just rolling forever even on good shots. I did see the course seems aware of these issues and is addressing them, so hopefully that happens by the next time I try to play again.

Always enjoy the course. Always a challenge but enjoy it everytime

Hit em around course. Good for beginners. Not well kept but I do enjoy it from time to time. Good if everyone else is booked.

I’d heard only how bad the conditions were on this course. And reviews had backed that up… until the last couple months. Reviews were positive including one person who knew the course well and had said how awful it had been previously but how it was now much improved.
My impressions? Greens in the front were near perfect until the 9th green. It still has a long way to go. A couple greens on the back nine have some issues but nothing like 9. In general, greens are rolling nicely at about a 10. Quite a few courses I’ve played looked gorgeous but the greens were annoyingly slow. So the greens here are now some of the nicer ones in the area.
Tees and fairways are mowed well to proper height and are full. Very few bare spots. That said some of this grass both on tees and fairways are junk grasses but it was full and mowed, which at least makes it nice to play on. In time with proper continued care these junk grasses will fade and give way to the Bermuda.
So keep your eye on this one. Maybe they’ve hired the course manager from Legacy Pines which sadly closes today. I’ve played some 20 courses this summer and Legacy Pines had THE best grass tee to green that I’ve played this year. Sad to see it go but if this course continues to improve, it could be the next Legacy Pines and a real gem in Spartanburg and the Upstate.

Course is in significantly better shape compared to toe years ago. New ownership has definitely invested and made great improvements. Only 2 greens I felt like needed work. Fairways in great shape. A course you would once avoid I would add back to your rotation.

I have tried for several years to support this course but won’t be going back. Booked a tee time at 250 arrived at 245 and there were no carts. I waited 20 min for a cart. Many groups playing with groups of five which shouldn’t be allowed on key days. No starter and the guy working certainly has no interest in golf or customer service. In addition the course is in awful shape. Overgrown weeds on all the fairways. Again I have really tried to support this course but until improvements are made to the overall experience I won’t be returning.

I wasn’t sure of course drove a hour, want be back first thing was no range balls, my son loves to warm up at a range , no range balls, then no carts no, five minutes after my tee time finally got a cart . My tee time was taken by the person behind me he had a cart. My son and I made the best of our day together. Nice people but I thing they were overwhelmed today.

The course is one of those unplanned golf day courses. It’s laid back so don’t tuck your shirt in. I’ve seen the course in better condition. It recently sold and they have tried to update a few things but it seems like they started a new project before finishing the previous one. Make sure you bring your own tees and balls unless you want to play with Walmart balls. The course layout isn’t bad. If you are playing with a friend who’s hitting top flight irons this is the perfect place to shank em.

Greens were decent but tee boxes and fairways / other areas were in pretty rough shape. Very hilly . Several blind tee shots. Fun course , could use some work.

Ran out to carts. Had to wait past tee time. Disappointed . Was a busy day of golf being 64 degrees in November. Just needed to be organized. Course was in ok shape. Been to worse. Get what you pay for deal.

Staff was friendly but that's about where the good ended. Driving range was hidden, hard to find, and pretty rough. Carts were in rough shape. Course and paths were as well. Lots of hills and hidden greens. Was a reasonable value for the money but probably won't play again.

Had tee time confirmed by e mail got to course find out course was closed due to tournament.Manager did not offer to help get us on later or any help at all.went to course across town where owner personally made sure we got to play even though they were holding their club championship.

This course is much improved from the last time we played here. We did have to wait because of a tournament, and ended up being rained out. Staff was very friendly and gave us a rain check for 9 holes. Overall good experience

Course has improved. I can tell that they have put effort into repairing fairways and greens. Keep up the improvements
