About this course
The Palmetto Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club is an Ed Ault design located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ault, a prolific architect who shaped numerous courses throughout the Carolinas and the Mid-Atlantic region during the latter half of the twentieth century, created Palmetto as part of Myrtlewood's multi-course facility. The course serves the resort and daily-fee market that defines much of Myrtle Beach golf, catering to visitors and locals seeking accessible play in the Grand Strand area. The routing works through gently rolling terrain typical of the coastal plain, with pine-lined fairways and strategic water features that come into play on several holes. Ault's design philosophy generally emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough challenge to keep accomplished players engaged. The Palmetto Course reflects this approach, offering multiple tee boxes and a layout that rewards accurate iron play and course management over pure length. Myrtlewood Golf Club operates as part of the broader Myrtle Beach golf community, which hosts millions of rounds annually and serves as a popular destination for golf packages and group outings. The facility provides the amenities expected of a public-access club in the area, including practice areas and a clubhouse with food and beverage service. The Palmetto Course remains one of several options within the Myrtlewood complex, contributing to the variety available to golfers visiting this heavily trafficked golf market.
