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.

Straight forward course.

Standard Sun City course. Great practice areas, including range, putting, and chipping areas. Course is clean and in good shape considering middle of AZ summer. Greens were a little long and slow but completely understand the need protect the greens against the heat.

Needs maintenance

The course was in very bad condition. Some grass areas hadn't been cut in weeks. A lot of burned out areas. The greens were not in good condition and were unpredictable. The course needs a lot of maintenance work.

Needs work

I understand it’s Summertime in Arizona but I play every week sometimes twice a week and other courses have been able to maintain pretty good conditions. Too much bare grass in front of the greens and patches in the fairways as well as horrible tee boxes. I did play from the back tees and it seemed that the closer tees were in better condition. Honestly the course is probably a good place to play in the spring when some rain or moisture is in it but until then I probably won’t play here again.

Dry but good greens and fairway

As with all courses in the Phoenix area, no rain has caused brown areas, but for the most part, this course was in good condition.

I was paired up with a couple of older gents that were quite slow, so the pace was effectively slow.

Ain't what it used to be

Really went down hill folks. Good cheap rate still. Used to be some value now there isn't. Golf course sucks from tee to fairway to Green and no range balls included anymore. Even the summer pace us slow.

All in all the course was in decent shape with the hot weather we have been having. There were several tee boxes that were in bad shape and several greens had bare spots.

The grass on the course was spotty, probably because of the extreme heat over the last few weeks. Greens were better but not great,

Poor course cndition

A few years ago this was a private club and in great condition. It now is public..... tee boxes are mostly dirt, greens very bumpy with large patches of dirt. I have taken this course out of my rotation. I hope they give it the TLC it needs.

It’s OK

Fun course… but greens are a little burnt out. It’s hot. Totally understandable but be aware you won’t get smooth putts.

Staff was outstanding in Pro Shot and restaurant

Course was in OK condition. probably based on the fact that Phoenix is in the middle of extreme heat conditions. All grass areas were spotty, but overall it was playable. Feel sorry for the course superintendent

What happened to this course?

Haven't played here since pre-Covid so had no reason to expect less than what it had been then. What a shock. Course condition was horrible. Tee boxes were almost unplayable, especially if you don't airways use a tee. Fairways were burned out and had giant dead areas. Only grass was in the rough. Green also had many bare spots, forcing you to putt through multiple surface qualities.

Course amenities were noticeably lacking. No cart coolers, previously available in the cart barn. No ball washers anywhere.

You can expect some of these conditions on many golfnow courses but not usually on country clubs. How can the members tolerate this? There are 6 regulation courses nearby in sun city that are far superior in condition, even with aeration holes everywhere. Their prices, even having to pay for a cart, are also much lower.

Normally the course is in good shape but this time the course looked like it was being prepared for overseed. That would not have been a problem if the condition of the course was properly advertised. I was shocked to see the fairways and tee boxes in such poor condition. I normally would recommend this course to a friend but not in it's current state.

Summer burn

The course was already showing signs of getting burnt out. Tee boxes were horrible, fairways were patchy in spots and greens had patches as well. A little early in the summer to be in this shape. Luckily it was a cheap deal.
