The Villages - Executive Golf Trail (Palmetto)

The Villages - Executive Golf Trail (Palmetto) is a 9-hole executive course in The Villages, Florida, that opened in 2012 as the thirtieth addition to the Villages executive golf lineup. Water comes into play on seven of the nine holes, and two long par 4s add genuine challenge, making this more demanding than a typical short course. From the back tees the layout stretches to 1,787 yards — a test that rewards accurate shot-making. Players who prefer a more relaxed round can step up to the forward tees, where the course plays 1,106 yards and offers a friendlier experience for beginners and intermediate golfers alike. Choosing the right tee box goes a long way toward getting the most out of Palmetto.
