Colonial Charters Golf Club
About
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.

Wet but a good day in the Sun
Course was wet due to recent rains. Tee boxes were lush and the greens putted very nicely. Staff were very pleasant.
Explanation of stars
Will definitely play it again Enjoyed the course overall. Conditions were very wet but not their fault. Staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. One big issue was the four ladies playing ahead of me. Wouldn't let me pass them and average wait was 12 to 15 min per hole as obviously were not experienced. Perhaps having a Marshall travelling around would have helped greatly. But will definitely return. Love the challenge of the course's narrow fairways. Thanks

Very Nice Course
Almost cancelled my reservation but glad I didn't. If you can hit the ball straight on every shot you won't have a problem. There is water on EVERY hole except #2, never played a course like this that I can remember anyway. The course is well maintained & it has a nice pro shop. The greens are a little difficult to read and also fast.
The course is great
I can't say enough about this course. Well maintained, interesting lay out and the staff are outstanding. We have played several of the courses offered by golfnow and CC is far and away our favorite.
Still has a way to go
Played this course in it's last reincarnation as Palmetto Greens, new owners have made some improvements, local membership seems to be growing. We played with two members and had a good time. The course still has a problem with drainage, as there are many wet spots. Short of getting a good deal, I would not put Colonial Charters on my to play list.
Good course for the price. Good for beginners.
Haven't played this course for several years. Back about 3 or 4 years ago it was basically a cow pasture. Cheap, but rough condition. Decided to give it another try. Turned out to be an OK course. Fairways and greens were much better then expected. Obviously the current owners are putting some effort and money into the course. Still have a ways to go, but a good course for the price. Not particularly difficult but there are a few challenging holes. Good course for beginners or as a warm up for rounds at more difficult courses in the area. Must have changed a lot of holes around. Neither my GPS or my wife's GPS would match up to the holes or yardages.
Friendly service
Pro shop set me up to play with a couple of members. They were very cordial and helped me greatly with their local knowledge. We breezed through the first 11 holes and then caught up to people who had started out the back. All in all pace of play was quite acceptable. As mentioned in a previous review the course changed hands recently and they are working on the signing at the tees
The beach (sands) comes into play often
The Fall weather created Fall conditions. The grounds were hard making it difficult to get divots while creating balls rolling out of play or in traps & hazards. There wasn't enough yardage markers on the tees or fairways, so bring your GPS. Even so, my wife and I enjoyed playing the course and will play it again.
Good Day of Golf
Had the best game of my life. Really enjoyed seeing the people dressed up in their Halloween costumes at the club house.
Colonial Charter - Varried Standards for Back and Front Nine
Back nine could use more TLC and/or significant investments at improving the conditions (e.g., a lot of weeds around the greens, hard fairways, etc.). Front nine was in much better shape as it appeared greener. No 8 is very narrow and I would like to see a line of trees along the driving range so the width is set within the standard golf regulations.
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.
Lots of water.
With the narrow fairways and the water it made for a challanging day.Enjoyed the day.
Great Course
Great course. I have played in the past & will play again. Great shape. Several improvements made in the last couple of years.
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....
Fun day of golf
I had played this course many years ago (likely from the blue tees), + found it interesting and moderately challenging from the white tees.
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
Don't waste your time at this golf course
Good price but don't expect much out from this course. Green was in poor condition a lot of bald spot. Not reccommend to anyone.
