Great Value

Great course for the price. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars because the pace of play was really bad that day. It may have been because of a very large group in front of us, but I'm not sure.

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.
