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.

Great Course

Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars across the board is because the greens had recent been sanded

Palmer Course in Transition

Course had recently been aerated, making it less than pristine. The greens were extremely rough and bouncy, with seeding grooves, making it near impossible to putt well. Some fairways were in good shape, whereas others were in transition. Tee boxes were fair, and sand traps near greens were full; noting fairway hazards were filled with sand and pebbles, making it more of a hazard than it should be. Pace of play was good (less than 4 hours for our foursome). Still a good value if you can secure a discount rate.

Great course but bumpy greens

Everything was great but the greens. They should've flattened out after plugging it.

DISAPPOINTED

We booked it on the spur of the moment..on the Golf now site you could not see the red aeration button. But what was more frustrating was no one said anything to us ..they just let us go..had to pay the same price as the Faldo and when I called the pro shop the gentleman was very indifferent

Lives up to reputation

First time playing the Palmer course.... Cudos to the greens keepers. The course was in superb condition. Player services were very friendly and helpful. Should any of my old golfing pals come out for a visit this will be on the list of 'Must Play' facilities.
