Palm Royale

It was a beautiful day - the weather was perfect. The pace of play was ideal. We didn't ever have to wait for anyone or have anyone play through. The course is challenging - lots of water! It was a really fun round and we hope to do it again before the course closes for the summer!

Fun Par 3 Couse

We stayed in a condo at Palm Royale CC. We played the course our last day there and had a blast. 18 par 3's ranging from 81 yards to 150+. Great place to work on your wedge and short iron game. The greens were a bit slow but the course was in great shape overall. It was a fun way to finish off the trip after playing the long championship courses all week.

A Great Walk!

I had never played this course before but I'm glad I have now. The course was in great condition and the scenery was beautiful.

I'd certainly recommend this course to my friends and I'll definitely be back there to play again.

This is a great Par 3 course. It is very well maintained and also has beautiful landscaping. The pro shop staff was friendly and very accommodating. I think it is good value for such a well kept place. Also I met many friendly resident golfers there.

Fun Day of Golf

Palm Royale is a short, lush par 3 course. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Walking only. Price was right. It was a nice relaxing day of golf. One hour and twenty minutes per nine.

Another very pleasant round

My wife is a beginning golfer, and this is a very good course for her. This was our second time playing the course. Although play was a bit slow, it was not unpleasant. The course seems in great shape and there are some nice challenges to the course; the greens can be tricky. The starter was extremely friendly both before and after our round. We would certainly recommend this course.

Charming & Challenging

A very pretty course in great condition. Looks relatively easy from the tee-boxes but the undulations, water and small, fast greens makes for precision and accuracy.

This is a gem for an executive 18 holer

We were a three some and enjoyed the track. However, the first nine holes were painfully slow! We had 2 or 3 groups on every tee box in the front nine. The back nine was quick with no waiting!
We enjoyed the variety of holes, the water and sand traps and contours of the greens. We will be back and hopefully with less waiting as was my previous time out!

Lovely par 3, challenging

Front nine has lots of water and is the more difficult. Back nine has open space, 150 yard drives on at least two or three holes. It is a lovely par 3 course, excellent for short game practice, and everyone is friendly.

Better practice than the range

What a great place to work on the important short game. It is a lot of fun to try and get pars or maybe a birdie and is not that easy.
The greens that day were a little slow so you had to hit your putts way harder than you would think but other than that the course was in great shape.
It is a great value for the money!
