Great course but tipping got to be too much
I’ve played both courses several times over the years but this time had to use valet parking which meant tipping the valet driver, tipping the guy that unloaded the clubs and placing them in the cart and then when round was over tipping the the very nice gentleman who insisted on wiping our clubs down, tipping the cart guy who loaded the clubs and brought us back to the valet service then tipping the guy who fetched our car.. For me who plays a lot I’d rather just go where I can put my own clubs on the cart and go play.

Greens were quick. Fairways in good shape.
For this time of year, the Palmer course is in good shape. The greens are fast and they are holding. Fairways are good with very few bare areas. Over all a nice course to play this time of year.
