Fast day!

Got a great rate and played as a single. Got through the round in 2hrs 20 mins! Hit a foursome who godly let me play right through and also caught up to a threesome who let me play through again! Course was in great shape! I even left my SW in the range and the picked it up and brought it to me in the course! Great staff and course I will definitely be back with my group!

Resort Course

So not so challenging, and you can expect slow round. VERY difficult to find 1st on Palmer! Some nice holes, but over-all not bad, but not great. Fairly short. Probably will not return, but value and staff were excellent.

Palmer Course disappointing

First time in 2 years we had been out to the Palmer 18 at Saddlebrook. What was immediately obvious was that they had not cut the fairways in several days. It was like playing out of straggly rough. The greens were OK, but you could see where some had damage. The bunkers were actually in the best condition I had seen them. Plenty of sand and it was not packed down or wet.

The halfway house was open for the first time in 12 years. Hooked up with a single about 12 holes into the round. He said that normally the fairways were good, but the greens were "hairy" . It looks like they may have a money issue. Didn't see any maintenance workers out there.

Palmer Course - Nice layout

Wide fairways, greens in decent shape. Course amenities and facilities were in disrepair and very dated.

Rough Shape

Frustrating that the course upkeep is so inconsistent. Tee box grass was as long as the rough, greens had burned out patches. Played a month ago and the course was manicured beautifully?
