Palmetto Golf Club is the best kept secret in America. Most of us will never get to play Augusta. I have been fortunate enough to play Augusta, and Palmetto definitely gives you a taste of playing Augusta. The same architect who did the original Augusta National did the major work on Palmetto. "Probably the highest compliment paid to Palmetto was made by Dr. Alister MacKenzie in the May 1933 edition of the American Golfer Magazine. MacKenzie said, “The alterations at Palmetto have been such a success that the Chairman of Bobby Jones’ executive committee at the Augusta National writes me saying, ‘We have only one serious complaint to make against you regarding the Augusta National. That layout you designed at Aiken is liked so well that the Aiken colony does not seem to be the least bit interested in coming over to the Augusta National’.”

This is one of the most classic courses you'll ever play! History, History and did I mention History? This was the location of a Pro-Am the week before or after the Masters and the walls have the names of golfing lore. Hogan, Snead and others fill the dates of past tournaments. Customer Service Great! |
