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.

If you want a 5 hour round in 114 degrees this is your choice!

Saturday & Sunday morning it is almost impossible to play in less than 5 hours! They do not monitor the pace of play at all! They do nothing to improve the pace of play! Week days are great, but not Saturday or Sunday mornings! Very sad!!

Well kept course

Palmbrook has been our go to golf course. It’s well maintained with great greens and lush fairways. Pace of play is great, lot of older golfers who will push you if your not keeping up. Great course for the price.

Good for this time of year.

Course was in fair shape for this time of year what with the temperature reaching upward towards 116. Fairway a little thin and spotty, greens weren't bad.

Monday round

Course was in good condition for July. A lot of the other courses in this price range have awful fairways right now but Palmbrook's are better. Fairways and rough were consistently mowed down nice and low, so despite morning irrigation, the ball rolled out well and was easy to find. Greens were great, smooth and weren't slow. Some tees had bare areas, but who cares, you are teeing it up anyway. Overall no complaints, it wasn't busy so pace wasn't an issue, and it was a good value for the amount paid.

Had a Great Time

I have played a league at Palmbrook so I am familiar with the course. This was however the first time I played it since it came under new management. There are some definite improvements being made so I will continue to play the course to see how it evolves. Played with a threesome of friends who were friendly we me as well so all in all it was a fun day of golf.

They really need to do something with the tee areas. There are nothing but dirt on most holes. Greens are in good shape. Fairways have a few bold spots but I like to play this course.

Summer golf

For the time of year and the heat we’re having, no complaints about the course conditions. There’s grass in the fairways and the greens are in very good shape. Bunkers could have better sand, but that’s most courses. Appreciate the ice and water machine, I wish more courses had that. Carts have gps, nice amenity.

Keep up the good work

Course shows that it’s being taken care of. It will take a little time but it’s a substantial improvement over how it used to under old ownership. One disappointing thing, our golf cart was given to us uncharged. We had to come in and change carts after 4 holes. The cart we got had 2 empty sand bottles. It shouldn’t be so hard to keep the sand bottles full. Way too many people playing in 105 degree weather. I’m used to empty golf courses in the summer.

Definitely in Summer Conditions

We love palmbrook and love what the new owners are doing to it, but this was bad summer conditions, even for Sun City standards. The fairways were the worst part, but some of the greens even had huge areas of mud or dirt. I’m guessing they’re going to really renovate when we get into season again but this was surprising and we probably won’t play it again this summer because there are better $30-40 rounds out there right now.

Palmbrook never disappoints

The course is in great condition, the carts with gps are very accurate. The pace was great, Tee times are spread far enough apart to really help. Overall I am very happy with my experience and look forward to playing again.

Disappointment

We had booked a teatime through GolfNow. They said that they were irritating. When we got to the course the front nine was shut down and we had to play the back nine twice which wasn’t a very good experience at all. Had we known we were gonna play nine holes twice we would not have worked

Palmbrook

It was a hot day, but the pace was slow due to it being Saturday. Course conditions were good and it was nice to play on some nice grass as many courses this time of year are burnt out on the fairways. Enjoyed playing here on a good course that has its challenges but is fair if you hit good shots.

Nice Course

The course is in good condition despite the summer heat. Greens were in nice shape with a true roll. Nice layout. The back 9 seemed more challenging than the front 9. Played in 3 hours and had a great time despite the heat.
