 "I had the opportunity to play at Palmetto-Pine Country Club and bring a few of my members, having heard lots of great things about the golf course and the facility. Through my experience, I can honestly say it was all true. The golf course was in great shape, especially the greens. I have been a PGA Professional for 27 years and have never played on such true and pure greens -- speed being awesome, and would hold any shot, which is something your club should be proud of. The service from the Pro Shop and staff to the Bar and staff was excellent. Hats off to Palmetto-Pine Country Club!”

  “… I am the assistant golf professional at Anderson Country Club, in Anderson, Indiana. We are a private club like that of Palmetto-Pine Country Club. I would like to personally thank PPCC as a whole, for treating myself and my friends like we were members while at the golf course.

 Also, I would like to give many compliments to their Superintendent, Kevin Schaal. The golf course was in great shape for the amount of rain that hit the Southwest Florida region over the summer. I have played a lot of golf growing up in Florida, and I will personally say your greens were some of the best I’ve ever played and putted on. The greens rolled true and the speed was incredible while I was down there. 

 Overall, I think Palmetto-Pine Country Club is a great private club, and if I lived in your area, I would love to join.”
