The golf course at the Palmbrook Golf Club (formerly known as Palmbrook Country Club) has a reputation for being immaculately well kept. The course's greens and fairways are consistently kept in excellent condition making the course enjoyable to play. In addition to the spotless maintenance, the course at the Palmbrook Golf Club has a challenging design that incorporates water hazards in the form of a meandering brook and six lakes on the back nine. The challenging greens are fast and hard to read. There are also several bunkers that can affect play. Four sets of teeboxes provide different options.

FIVE-SOME HEAVEN!

We suffered through a 5+-hour round because the course permits 5-somes and we played behind 3 of them. The ranger confirmed the course's practice and could do nothing to move them along and chose not to break them up. That was the first time we played the course and really liked the conditions, BUT WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. The owner and manager of the course should be ashamed and removed.

When it’s breezy oh swing easy

Cold windy day proved to be a tale of two nines. Front nine not as exposed to the elements. Back nine fully exposed. Course in good shape but disappointing clubhouse basically shuts down at 5:00.

5-SOMES HEAVEN

A 5-hour round (!) because we played behind three 5-somes. The "ranger" said 5-somes are permitted, but they must keep up their pace of play. They didn't and the ranger didn't move them along, so everybody behind them suffered. A course that permits 5-somes is poorly managed. This was our first time playing the course and we will never go back.

5-somes should be deported.

poor conditions & slow play

The condition of this golf course is poor and it takes guts to charge almost $100 to play here. Yes, I know it is winter and the rates everywhere in the Phoenix area are obscenely high for very marginal conditions. There are no ball washers and the greens very inconsistant. Likely we will not return.

Golf Twosome

We enjoyed our round at Palmbrook and felt it was a good value. We had played two of their sister courses and this one was our favorite. The course is in great shape and the pace of play was not bad for afternoon golf. There was a Marshall who checked in with us frequently to ansk anbout the pace of play and he was so kind and courteous. We will definitely return.

Foursomes Give Way to a Fivesome slowing play down

Great course, great staff, great greens and fairways. Putting a fivesome out in front of foursomes and threesomes and twosomes not a great idea. Waited on every single hole and every single shot. It took away from being a perfect day. If the course had open time slots maybe but when its booked and the group in front of the fivesome was a hole and a half ahead....grrrrrrrrrr. However, I hope it was an isolated event that dont repeat itself in the future.
