Palm Harbor Golf Club

Tee boxes were getting aerated so many tee locations were forward. Greens seemed to be choppy. Looked like weed killer had been used in many spots. Still in decent shape just not top notch.

Greens are bad and have been bad for many years. Superintendent only mows greens once a week. The day we played we heard course ranger cursing/using profanity and yelling at group ahead of us for being on the course when it was cart path only. I suspect they didn’t know because we weren’t informed at check-in or by cart staff before we went to first tee that it was cart path only. Superintendent should have been fired years ago, but I suspect he’s willing to work for smaller salary, maintenance staff, maintenance budget than other courses provide and that’s why City hasn’t fired him. Multiple different types of grasses on the greens just to give you an idea of conditions on greens.

A lot of rain the days before so range was closed and course was cart path only. Still didn't feel need to lift clean and place more than once or twice in the round but there were certainly a lot of squishy places in low areas. Tees and fairways look good. Most greens are fine if slightly slow, but the 2nd green looks (and plays) like the surface of the moon. Not sure what happened with that one.

You pull up, pop open the back of the car and the guys grab your clubs, put them on the rack and say good morning. Then they ask your tee time, check their tee sheet and load your stuff onto a cart.

Then they keep track of everybody waiting to go and get them out on time and in an orderly fashion.... Never a problem.

Yesterday one of our guys got caught in traffic and was 20 minutes or so late.. again, no problem. When he got there they just drove him out to the third hole and he jumped right in with us.

Besides the craters on a few greens (I wish I had taken photos) this track plays well with quite a few challenges to deal with. Some fairways are narrow and approach shots need thoughtful considerations. This course is a good muni with a good layout and value. The bridge on 18 has been down for a very long time. I wonder why it is taking so long to get it fixed other than County funds?

The course is well maintained by a friendly staff. Fairways were in nice shape and not too difficult to hit. The greens were quite rough though with lots of patches. Sand traps were also well maintained. All around one of the better courses in Palm Coast and worth the money.

Overall course is in good shape. The greens are starting to show problems, but to give credit they were “verti” cutting the greens.

Course is starting to come back after recent aerating. On the other hand, it's just to bad that people that are slow player will not have fast groups play though.
