Great warm-up course

Coming from Minnesota & having not played golf since October, this course was a great warm-up course as I'm playing a regulation course tomorrow. Beautiful green grass & well taken care of by greens keepers. Greens were remarkable except for a few brown ball marks. Sand traps & water galore! Also, a wonderful couse to work on your short game & I think it would bode well for beginners! The only surprise was they do not accept cash!

Windy day

Immaculate greens. Course in great shape. Signage could stand to be updated. Water features make some wholes very challenging. Staff very courteous and helpful. Wind was blowing nnw at about 20 mpg so made things interesting. Will be back soon.

Enjoyable round

Not having played for a couple of months thought this would be a good course to get our "sea legs" back.

The course was aesthetically pleasing and the holes were obviously short but varied enough that is was fun.

Would certainly play it again.

Tight and fun

Longest tees are only 160 yards with many are 80-90 yards, but the undulating visuals, water and bunker hazards galore, well maintained ground and greens, except for the careless players unfixed divots on that date, makes for some great fun and short games tuning. Recommended, and please install another guest keypad for the high clearance entrance gate so taller than 9 feet vehicles can enter without causing backup out into high traffic street while waiting for the golf pro shop personnel to come out and manually open it for you.

Nice Par 54 short course easily walked. Water, sand and undulating greens make up for shorter length. Very enjoyable.

Always a pleasure!

My wife and I always enjoy a round at Palm Royale! We generally get our 18 holes finished off in 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 hours which is perfect for us. The course is well maintained and offers some interesting challenges for all.

PAR 3 ?

Didn’t realize it was a par 3 course til I got there, but it was a gorgeous layout and in fantastic condition ! Very short holes allowed me to work on wedge, 9, 8 irons on just about every hole. Great value for the money !

Great little course

Check in was fast and pleasant. Small facility, small selection of goods. What they had were nice.

Course in fantastic condition. Superb place to work on irons. Longest hole I recall was 171 yards. Great layout, all holes interesting and protected by water or sand. Some very tough pin placements.

Great for working on your shotshaping, if you have that talent.

Easy to walk. Everyone out this morning was walking. As a twosome, we never had to wait on the foursome in front. Very pleasant place,

.will play again as soon as we get a chance.

Great par 3

Excellent value. Play is quick - 2 hours. Wonderful place to enjoy playing and practicing your short game. Good enough enough for Freddie Couples who was 11 under.

Past Reviews Shock Me!

Many great Par 3 courses in the area. this definitely shouldn't be rated so high in my opinion.

No comparison to Cimarron Pebble for example.

Plays slow, holes are very similar, somewhat boring.

Maintenance crew were oblivious to the golfers on the course.

Fun little course for family golf.
