Flat layout course.

We played on a Saturday in the peak season. We paid 74.00 each person with cart and range balls included. A 94 degree day for March, course was in very good condition. Greens and tee boxes really nice, the layout was all in between homes but with wide fairways on most holes. The only complaint was no cart person to purchase drinks or snacks, and also no water stations on the holes. One bathroom only. The 18th hole was not a good layout though even though I was able to make a par. I would play it again.

Gem in a gated community

Fairways, greens and most tee boxes in elite condition. Bunkers would’ve been fine had there not been (tire) tracks in many of them… Checkin process was easy because we prepaid. Obviously tons of regulars at a course like this so starter was a tad aloof during checkin..would love to come back here as the price point is very reasonable and a little course knowledge will go a long way during a return visit. Kudos Palm D Resort!

Slow and no cart service

Given the heat a cart service would have been nice. Very slow play and no marshals

Too slow

I would have given a higher rating but for the speed of play. Usually plays quicker, but not on this day, and no course marshal.

Great course

Friendly staff and members.

Course was in great shape, tee boxes, fairways and greens were good.

Only issue we had was they have signs all over the place stating no outside food or beverages, but no beverage cart, no halfway house. So if they insist on no outside food or beverages, they should offer something.

We would play again, with our own food & beverages.

Course is looking great this year!

We have played this course many times over the past few years. It has gotten better and better each year. A lot of work has gone into improvements and we can tell there has been a lot of time, effort, and funding put into this course. Keep up the great work and great value!

Best Golf Value in the Vslley

Excellent staff. This resort course is well groomed, wide fairways, nice greens and open design. The sand traps are gravelly and firm but compare well to the poor sand traps in other valley courses. Nice driving range but it could use more target flags.

Good Shape! Good Value!

Course is in very good shape overall from tees, fairways to greens. Ball sits up nicely in the fairways and the greens are running smooth. Grass range tee in great shape as well for warmup or practice.

Not an overly difficult layout, resort style, fun and forgiving. Good course for warmup rounds. Lots of room off the tee for getting the ball in play, lots of room to hit the driver.

Great value at the price and definitely worth playing!
