Palmetto Golf Course is a Par-70 Championship Course, built on121 acres, running parallel to U.S. 1, south of 152nd Street. The 18-hole course, designed by Dick Wilson and built in 1959 by developers Porter, Russell and Wagor, was purchased by Miami-Dade County in 1967.

This facility has a serpentine canal system that flows across and alongside palmetto tree-lined fairways, making this an attractive, as well as challenging course to play. The golf course also offers a 22-position, lighted driving range; lighted putting green; a spacious clubhouse; and a fully-stocked pro shop. Equipment rentals are available. Golf lessons and clinics are offered.
