Myrtlewood Golf Club’s Palmetto Course is one of the most accessible and scenic rounds in Myrtle Beach. Designed by Edmund B. Ault, this traditional resort-style course features wide fairways, generous landing areas, and stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway. It’s one of the few courses where you can see boats cruise by as you line up your approach.

The Palmetto Course offers a relaxed yet rewarding experience for players of all skill levels—ideal for vacation groups, couples, and anyone who wants to enjoy the game without too much grind.

The Golfer’s Review

Palmetto is a confidence-builder and a favorite for group outings. It’s a course that rewards good ball striking but doesn’t demand perfection. The greens are true, the layout is fair, and the scenery adds a unique coastal vibe not found at many inland courses.

Expect consistent conditioning, smooth pace of play, and plenty of room to play your game.
