Early Sunday round

Palm Royale was a nice early walk. We arrived a little early and was able to go before a number of 3+4somes. We took our time and still played the front in one hour, 5 minutes. The back was slower, as we caught up with groups.course condition was good, considering the smaller teeing ground.we would definitely play again Jim P

Pace of Play was a disaster

Will not play here again. Took us almost 4 hours to complete a round of par 3 golf. Brutal - slow play. Group ahead of us had three holes open and would not let us play through.

FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!

Most beautiful par three golf course I’ve ever played! An absolute joy to play! I know because I played all over those beautiful, fairways, duck laden fountain ponds, silky soft deep sand bunkers and those tiered pure rolling greens. I should make a note for awareness; it’s popular when busy. Moving the guests around the course is dependent of their numbers and speed of play. We were 3.5 hours and waited at nearly every hole for the group. The course was packed. We started at the end of the Wednesday men’s team scramble. I didn’t take any photos. Photos would not do the course justice.

Cheers
