Must play
Pick the Palmer course. In my opinion, the better of the two. Always love playing here. Tough from the blues, no pushover from the whites, either!

Great challenging course
The only real issue that I have with the course is that a few of the greens we’re patchwork from repairs other than that the greens were great fairways were great. Nice course

Always like both of Saddlebrooks courses
We played the saddlebrook course this time I believe they were letting some of the greens grow to let some spots heal up. It left some inconsistencies in the speeds from hole to hole but the course was in great shape overall.
