Palmetto Golf Course: Palmetto

Miami, FL Public

Overview

Golf in Aiken began over a century ago with two in-town courses, Palmetto Golf Club and Aiken Golf Club. Palmetto, founded in 1892, was primarily designed by Herbert Leeds, the builder of Myopia Hunt Club near Boston, with major amendments in 1932 by Alister MacKenzie who was working on Augusta National (just 30 miles away). Ranking comfortably inside our Third 100 Greatest Courses, it’s a polished, jewel-box design draped over up and down topography with one of the country’s great sets of greens full of slick interior movements that slip away into a variety of undulous chipping areas. A renovation completed in 2023, done in-house with consultation by Kye Goalby, designer of nearby Tree Farm, has brought the turf conditions up to par with the course's unique architecture.
