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.

As slow as molasses in January

I had high hopes of a good place to play until the round got going. Two and a half hours for the front 9 and I had enough. Player assistant on the course, but that obviously was of no help. And as seems common at Sun City courses some muppet hits through us on 2 of the first 3 holes with the old dumb as a box of rocks comment of that is 40 yards father than I ever hit it in my life. Muni-mentality sadly.

Typical Sun City Course

The course is the usual Sun City style course and conditions. A fairly flat layout with a few narrow tree corridors on the front nine and fairway side bunkering within reach off the tee. Good, straight drives should leave you in good shape on most holes. The fairways were reasonably good; the greens were all grown out and consistent. Bunkers were in decent sand conditions.

Nice course

The course is in good shape. The greens are immaculate but very fast. The lakes and stream area have a bit if a foul odor. We enjoyed the round and the staff is great.

Questions about New Ownership

Looks like new ownership is making club worse. Rough looks like Hillcrest (dead grass and dirt). Carts are worse, no GPG in a lot of carts, and old Union Hills carts. Higher prices for less. No more free range balls. And, even took out popcorn machine in Bar.

5 hour round

Very slow play. Saw the issue when we got to no.7: a six-some was teeing off on no 9. Called the pro shop. They assured me they don’t send out 6-some and they were sending out a ranger. No ranger showed up. The 6-some played all the way through. Taking Palmbrook off my list of walkable courses.
