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.

Great price

I am a new golfer so the price is awesome at Palmetto Greens. The course needs a ton of work and I don't recommend the course if you're an avid golfer - you will be disappointed. Make sure you bring your own food and drinks because their kitchen is shut down. If you are new to golf or are looking for a great deal, I recommend Palmetto Greens. Hit 'em good!

Nice layout. Not maintaned well. More cost cutting going on than grass cutting

Nice challenging layout. Looks like it was a nice place at one time. One wonders why some courses make it and some don't. Needed a lot of grass mowing. Greens were the best part of the course. Fairways were rock hard and needed watering bad. Tees needed mowing as well as a lot of other areas of the course. I think this could be a nice course again but would take a lot of money pumped into it.

Don't play here

Heard the owners are trying to sell and have neglected the upkeep of the course. Patchy grass on fairways, tee boxes overgrown. Walked off after 9.

Great value!

I'd seen reviews that were less than glowing about this course but I figured for the cost, distance from where I was staying, and my playing ability that it would be worth a try.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course! It was far better than I expected. The 'ugliest' area is the practice range. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are well maintained. A good mix of sand and water hazards present enough challenges and there are some long holes worthy of par 5. The staff was very friendly and accommodated my request to rain-check the back nine until the next morning. The only downside I have to report is that there was no food service, but they will allow coolers & snacks.

neeDs lots of tlc

COURSE IS IN PROCESS OF BEING SOLD. PRIOR OWNER CARED MORE ABOUT SELLING LOTS AROUND THE COURSE AND LESS ABOUT THE GOLF. YOUNG MAN SENT TO RUN THE COURSE IN CURRENT CONDITION IS TRYING TO DO IT ALL, DOING BEST HE COULD AS PRO, SHOP CLERK , STARTER, AND CART PERSON. SIGNS OF NEGLECT ALL AROUND COURSE, GRASS UNCUT ON TEE BOXES, POT HOLES ON CART PATH, BEDS OVERGROWN. A REAL SHAME BECAUSE COURSE IS LAID OUT WELL. COULD BE A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE

the greens were in good shape

The course looked tired but was worth the $20 that we paid. A money input could put this course as one of the best. very picturesque on some holes and was definetly interesting. Sand traps have not been serviced for some time however it has potential.

Great place for duffers when able to get bargain prices.

We are definitely duffers and appreciate being able to find occasional cheap rates to keep us out of the way of the good golfers who are paying the high prices. Course is not great but works well for our skill level.

some interesting holes, but conditions are poor

They appear to be fixing the traps, some had new sand, others are mud. Condition of course was disappointing. Would not recommend.

The money speaks!

What can I say, we paid twelve dollars. If you are looking to just swing this is your place. Upon arriving at the course the club house told the story. One person crew of cart boy, pro shop, and snack bar. Lucky for me, I got the last sports drink to keep hydrated. The course will leave you with much to be desired if you are looking to play a typical MB track. But, might I remind you we only paid twelve dollars. Yes, that included cart. Overall, my wife and I had great time. But, if you care about the course pay more and be happy. Let's just say I can't wait to play my club at home.
