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.

Long and hairy

This course opened too soon. Fairways were like first cut of rough, worse in some areas. Greens were very long, about a 3 on stint meter.

Has the Feel of Wiseacre Kids Running the Place

The last few times I have played here, I’ve had the feel that the kid in the pro shop has something more important to do than work the register and check customers in. This time the kid had a couple buddies at the counter chatting about whatever and his attention was split between checking me in and participating in the buddy chat. That aside, the course was coming off overseed and was cart path only. Always fun taking half your bag out to the ball to still not have the right club. Alas, it will get better soon. As for the overseed, I hope it grows in thick as time passes as it seemed a bit thin and whispy. The greens were also super fuzzy so no way to get the speed right. They just need to get rolled as the grass gets established.

Total rip-off

Yesterday this course was unplayable. Over-seeded recently and not nearly ready for play but management collected green fees anyway. This course has at least 2 weeks before it’s playable assuming the work to get it in shape is completed.

Waste of time and money

They don't tell you the grass hasn't been cut in a month, the employees seem like they all hate you, and it's overpriced.

Good neighborhood gold

I've played here about 4 to 5 times, the last time they had just opened after re-seed so the greens were a scruffy , but this course is always fun .

Goat track

Overseeing created a goat track. You could easily loose a ball in the fairway. Greens were so shaggy they were unputtable. Wait 2-3 weeks until they cut the grass.

Over Seeding Conditions

It would be a good business practice to inform golfers about your course conditions before they decide to purchase. Not once in the booking of this tee time did it mention over seeding and what the conditions of the course are. Cart path only the entire course (until 10/20 per there printed sign), tee boxes and rough were ridiculously long. The greens were the equivalent of putting on shag carpet (I would say a 3-4 stimpmeter). Call before you book!

PalmBrook Review

Truly enjoyed the round of golf at Palmbrook, staff very friendly and helpful. Course was in the middle of over-seeding but we knew that before we started it's well posted on the website. Can't wait to play again when the over-seeding is completed. Short comment on the person who left the bad rating, you should read before making a tee-Time. Must be from California!

Don’t come in October

Fairways and greens extremely long, couldn’t find hi-viz balls in the fairway. Greens were thick and bumpy and had to full swing a putter to go 5 feet. Sure it’s probably nice when manicured, but definitely not yesterday.

Terrible

The greens were in terrible conditions. The practice green was closed. It was cart path only because of seeding so that added on to the bad experience. It would probably be a fun course once they get the green in order and it isnt cart path only.

Coursenl needs work.

The main problems were the greens were like velcro, and there was overgrown grass and weeds eveywhere. We spent half the time looking for balls that were just off the fairway and lost many in the deep grass and weeds. No fun at all. The issue with the greens was forgivable because it is a good way to stop the greens from dying out in the heat. However,they really need to fire up those lawn mowers as the course is almost unplayable, especially the front 9.

Hot Time in Palmbrook

The 6:07 a.m. tee time was perfect. There was a little breeze that came up after the 3rd hole, but after the 9th hole the weather heated up and one of my playing buddies quit after the 9th, and then 2 more quit after the 12th hole. I continued onward finishing the 18th at 9:28 a.m.

I think the only reason I was able to finish was because I was fully hydrated with 2 large bottles of Powerade and 3 bottles of water.

The condition of the course was a bit messy with mowed grass clumps that were not blown yet and the greens were very slow. However, once your able to gauge the speed of the greens it was easier to one putt.
