Palmetto Bluff (May River)

Featuring tees and greens sown with a new type of paspalum grass that’s tolerant to heat and salt, the course at May River Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus design that serves golfers staying at the award-winning Inn at Palmetto Bluff resort.
Bordered by rivers and dotted with lagoons, marshes and tidal sloughs, the sandy-soiled fairways of the layout are routed through dense woodland close to the meandering May River.
During construction, sand was specially imported from Ohio as its angular consistency allows bunkers to be built with steep flashed faces. More than thirty trees were also transplanted from around the property, giving the finished course a more seasoned appearance.
