The Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and built in 1997. The par-72 golf course measures 7,145 yards from the tournament tees. "I enjoy designing golf courses that celebrate the sheer fun of golf," Palmer said about this course, "and Wildfire is exactly that."

The Bermuda grass Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is one of two championship courses at the club. It features a GPS option that offers golfers detailed mapping of the Faldo and Palmer courses, precise yardages for tee shots and approach shots to the greens, and the chance to order breakfast and lunch from the golf cart. Additional features include communication with the golf shop, a CBS Sportsline ticker with all scores 24 hours a day, and the leader board for tournaments. Its sibling, the Faldo golf course, also features the system.

Good but not great

This course is nice. It's not one of the nicer public courses, but it's still fun. Only two items that we had an issue with, was 1) no cart girl after 2:30pm...in BUSY season, which makes no sense since our tee time was 1:50pm. And 2) pace of play was not enforced. There was one slow group that was causing us to wait about 4 to 5 minutes between EACH SHOT. The response from the club house was that we were still under expected pace. However, the whole course was moving faster than normal pace except for this group, so having them play faster would have meant more enjoyment for everybody.

Boring course

Not that impressed. Parking 29$ on top of the 109$ round. A lot of holes were boring. Green was slow and bumpy with rocks and dirt. If you’d happen to get into the restricted areas; prepare to be locked up for at least 10 mins.

Course was in GREAT condition

Thoroughly enjoyed my round. Course was challenging on the back but because I was spraying the ball too much.

The starter was a little douchy and the cart gal couldn't rush us fast enough so she could go home before 2pm.

Love the round though. Had an audience on the front 9 as well.
