George Fazio is the sleeper pick at Palmetto Dunes. The layout is longer and more demanding than the other two resort courses here, with a routing that uses elevation changes — unusual for the Lowcountry — and a set of greens that are among the most complex on the island. based on reported conditions, fairway Reported conditions are typically slightly uneven in a few spots, likely due to late-summer stress, but the greens are typically in excellent shape. Pace was four hours flat on a weekday. Service is typically adequate but less polished than at the RTJ or Arthur Hills facilities — the bag drop was understaffed at the time of our visit. At its current rate, Fazio offers strong value for better players who want a genuine test; it's less suited to high handicappers who may struggle with the length and green complexity.
