Short Game Practice

Course was in great shape. My only critique is that not everyone fixes their ball marks on the greens. With the holes averaging around 100yds there are a lot of ball marks.

It’s a minor gripe considering how well the course is maintained

Great Course but....

The course is as nice as it gets but there wasnt a bathroom available to use. In my book thats a deal breaker. Ill check to see if it was just a temporary thing the next time I play. One other thing they should do is rope off, erect a sign or plant a bush in front of the walkway as you exit hole 18. I almost tripped and fell because I didnt see the cement walkway protrusion. Very dangerous. Make no mistake though. This is a very nice executive course.

Fun day of golf

Went Palm Royal with some friends for a fun day and change of pace from “long” hard courses.

We had fun, the course was in excellent condition and just challenging enough. Great way to improve your iron play.

Interesting layout

The course was in excellent condition and for a low handicap golfer it was a great fun par 3 short course.

However I took my 9 year old to play. She has been playing for 2 years and is quite good for her age. She shoots 36 - 40 for 9 holes from 100 yards at my home Country Club. The problem with Palm Royal is they have many long water carries and no bail out's. My daughter can't hit the ball 100 yards in the air her average good carry is about 75 yards.

My daughter wasn't the only one having issues with the water carries. The retired ladies in front of us also could carry the water, they just walked around and dropped on the other side to save wasting the ball.

So considering this course is aimed at beginners or people starting golf the design is not great.

However if this is not an issue for you the course is in $100 round full course condition.

Short irons off every tee. All you could want in a golf course but length. Off course amenities limited by pandemic.

A challenging Par 3 course

This course was a lot more challenging than other executive courses I have played.

The cost was a good value.

Nicely maintained course

Beautifully maintained course. Fairways are tight due to condos right on the course. Lots of water holes which could be great for some but as a beginner was challenging for me!
