Moccasin Wallow Golf Club

Moccasin Wallow Golf Club is a public course in Palmetto, sitting on the northern edge of Manatee County between the Manatee River and the agricultural flatlands that characterize this transitional zone between suburbia and rural Florida. The course plays through open terrain with water hazards and the kind of unadorned, functional design that serves a working-class and retiree clientele in one of the more affordable communities in the Bradenton-Sarasota metro corridor. The name references the natural wetland history of the area, and the course does incorporate some native landscape elements. Palmetto's position on the north side of the Manatee River — across from Bradenton — gives the course a less polished but more authentic character than the resort tracks to the south. Rates are among the lowest in Manatee County, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious daily players from across the region.
