Palmbrook Golf Club

I’ll start with the positives, I love the old school country club vibe that the clubhouse has. I love the course layout here, a few really cool dog leg lefts, lots of water on the back 9 and for Arizona, lots of trees. The greens were the best I’ve ever seen them here and I putted well like it was on easy mode. But, I was playing really well and unfortunately not rewarded for it. I’d drive the ball center if fairway and then I’m hitting out of soggy wet thin grass that you can’t possibly hit out of unless you have a club with lots of bounce. Pace of play was slow probably because no one can hit out of the fairway, it was extremely muddy. My second huge complaint, about 9 out of ten of the tee boxes were so slanted, when I tee my ball up it felt like I was swinging a bat with the ball way higher than my feet. I’m not good with that shot with a driver, just another thing that punished me for no reason. Pretty sure tee boxes are supposed to be pretty level ground. And they did move all the tee markers off to the sides of all the tee boxes which is why this was an issue l, otherwise usually it’s not. So anyway, I was punished harshly for playing well, and paid $80 for it.

This used to be a great club until new ownership took over. They close the bar at 4:00 so afternoon (after 12 pm) can’t have a beer after golf. Took out all the ball washers and trash cans. Why, they said there are no ball washers in Scotland?? Coyotes in trash cans? All the other courses have them??

One of the cheaper options this time of year. Other than the greens being fairly shaggy, course was in great condition and staff here is always super friendly!

2 major issues with course…

1. It took 3 hours to play 10 holes. You read that correctly the pace of play was insane and we always had 2 groups at tee box. Too tight of tee times? Bad ranger? I have no clue but it was a total s show so we just left after 10.

2. This is a public very very old course not a country club. As we come down 18 there is a ghetto make shift wedding just to the right of the green. I’m dead serious. Then as we make the turn the same wedding party is inside the snack bar 50 people deep ordering drinks so we can’t get anything. That wasn’t even the end…lol. We make the turn and the photographer who is obviously amateur hour has the bride and groom standing on the 10th tee box!! Bahahahahahaha… I’m like what is going on? Remember this is an old public course no posh views just small green murky lakes as backdrop.

We will never play here ever again.

Everything mowed down short getting ready for reseeding so nothing stops on greens. Still had a great day.

Pro shop staff was rude and pace of play was the worst I have ever seen. They have no idea how to run a golf course in my opinion.

Play was slow greens were ok I will go back but will look elsewhere first but not that bad of a course

Greens and fairways in great condition. Some challenging, yet fair holes. What more can you ask for? For my dollar, I will definitely be returning.

The layout of the course is very forgiving which I like. Unfortunately it wasn’t kept up well. Also, they should add at least a couple of water stations along the course. There’s nowhere to get water except when you come back to nine.

Condition was bad and also no ranger with very slow pace of play. Not worth it at all

First time playing here gotta say love all the beautiful birds number 17 they’re really loud course is in great shape even if there are some patchy spots in the summertime right now there’s always some good grass to hit from close by only one Green had some damage that was requiring a putt to be moved 10 feet to the left to get a clear line but otherwise all the other surfaces are in nice condition Tee boxes are mid, but I don’t really care about that.
