One of the best in the west valley

Course in excellent shape, greens ran true, and fairways in great shape. I was impressed how nice it was since they are heading into overseed in a couple weeks.

OK Course

Palms course, not lakes

This was our first time playing either palm valley course. We played the palms course and were happy with the course! It was in excellent condition! It was busy, but not too busy. We will definitely play here again!

Under construction.

Normally a nice course, not on this day. Greens in poor condition, very slow. Only the tee boxes and fairways were adequate. The fees were reasonable based on the condition of the course.

Great course, Pro Shop staff was TERRIBLE

The course was great, we got paired with another great twosome, the Cart girl and staff in the lounge was great but it all started with the rudest person I have ever met in the Pro Shop. He had no service skills at all and treated everyone in line like we were there by mistake. It was my first time there, when I asked where the range and first tee was, it pointed like the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz and said nothing. When I came back around and asked if they would call us to the 1st tee he said "we are on time, just go when it's your turn" We never met the other twosome until we both showed up at the tee box together. I'm new to the area and enjoy playing new courses, thank goodness I have plenty of new place to find and don't have to put up with him again.

hot day but good conditions

Palm valley is always in good condition. Even at 110 degrees the course wasn't dried out, the greens were still green and rolling true. Beverage cart only out certain days. Overall, for June in AZ, with our 100+degree days, it's still worth playing. Finding some trees for some shade is important :)

Very nice except bunker condition

I have played here several times. Course conditions are pretty good except they have the worst sand traps than any course in the valley. They were bad a year ago when I first played there, they have worked on them but are still terrible. Everything else; fairways, rough, greens, layout, are always good. Fix the bunker condition and it is one of the best in west valley.

Great value for a great course

It's been awhile since played the Palms course, but it was in the same shape as last time- Excellent. Got off to a slow start and had to wait behind two foursomes (we had 3) most of round. I took advantage of the extra time to repair other idiot's careless etiquette. So yes play could have been a little quicker. Had a great time with the guy myself and my friend were paired up with.

Course has actual "rough" and desert for any stray shots and you will use all clubs in your bag.

Fairways great, greens great, price great $30. IMO you can play Kierland, Camelback etc...for another $ 80-100 and play quicker and have a similar round probably b/c there are less folks on the course. No attendants to clean my clubs after round, but again I didn't pay for it. Look forward to playing it few more times this summer.

A long hitters course

Long drives on par 5s and long par 3s throughtout the course make this a challenging course. Play the tees that are best for you to have an enjoyable round. Was paired with a twosome that were familiar with the course so I was able to play my game bases on their advice.

Great set-up

The course is a good challenge with multiple tees enough to be fair for everyone. We player between tournaments and they had the rough very high.

a frustating day

The course was very nice, however, the tee times were at 7 to 8 minute intervals which caused the pace of play to be very slow, at times there were 2 groups waiting to tee off on some holes. this led to some groups ahead of us quitting after 9 holes.

A long day!

We played behind a junior tournament and pace of play was very slow.
The starter announced my first name instead of my surname which caused confusion since everybody else's surname was used when being called to the tee. As a result we missed teeing off on time and had to be fit in later. When I asked if they normally use first names when calling people to the tee the starter said "sometimes" . Strange.
The rough is deep and lush and at times it was difficult to find a ball in the rough.
Other than that the course is nice and I would play again.

Pre Super Bowl round!

Showed and and got a "Hotdeal" at the course. The staff was friendly and fast seeing that I showed up late.

The best part was that I got to play with an amazing group of guys. I ramdomly played with them at another "golf now" course a few months before.

Course was well worth the money and a fairly challenging and is great shape.

Play here and you'll enjoy yourself!

Great Value

I really enjoyed my afternoon there, starting out with great practice sand, green and driving range. I was paired wth local people who made getting around the course a breeze. Would like to see better direction signs when coming off the greens.
