A Very Good 'Starter' Course

My wife is reacquainting herself with golf, and this course was perfect for a starter. Enough trouble with sand and water, but a length that allowed her to use a variety of clubs. If a good player wants to work on wedge play, this is a good test. Greens are in good condition and many are tricky.

Palm Royale-good golf and good walking

We play the course at least once or twice every March when we come. Great 3 par course that everyone walks. Easy walk and very good course to work on short game and putting.

Prepare for a 4 hr round

Nice conditions, and cheap, but it’s within a resort community and it primarily draws out people just beginning. Balls flying everywhere, and incredibly slow pace of play. Only made it through 9 holes and had to call it a day.

Good challenge to sharpen your short game.

I enjoyed this course. Quick to get around in just over 2 hours. I would play it again early in another golf trip to test the short game. High winds made it quite challenging at times. Very enjoyable.

Short but a great game tune up

An 18 hole Exec course. Played in 3 hours. Longest hole was 179 yards but got to use a variety of clubs. I feel a much better use of time than a driving range (even tho no driver or fairway woods needed. Great conditions and some tricks in the greens.

If the guy in the pro shop is a Scottish fellow he will make your day.
