Not great conditions
The course was in bad shape with a lot of dry spots without grass. There was also tons of weeds even on the greens. Finding grass on some teebox was an adventure!
Great course, great price, best value course around d
Greens and fairway were a lot better than last year, course is a great value.
Good value
Nice layout. A little rough around the edges as far as condition. Friendly staff. They need a food option at the turn.
Very solid
The course is playing very solid, especially for the price and availability.
Greens
I was really impressed by the greens especially after the last time that we were there . they were in horrible conditions.
Always nice at Grand Palms 3*9 Resort
For the first time we also stayed at the resort and played already at 8am. It was already busy, but not too crowed. The course is always interested, no perfect conditions, but nice and somewhat challenging. The greens were reasonably fast and in very good conditions. The water hazards at at times tight fairways between houses and penalty areas make it very beautiful and interesting.
Rain
We played the front 9 but it starting pouring and since they offer no rain checks it kind of sucked
Better than some Reviews
After reading the very mixed reviews, I decided to play the course on Monday. After a good experience I played it again on Wednesday. It is three nines, and between both rounds I played them all. Overall, the tee boxes are level with ample grass (considering that winter just ended). The fairways have various types of grasses with some mown weeds. The greens were slower, yet in excellent condition and held approach shots well. After experiencing the golf course twice, I think that some reviews are a little overly critical. (If you expect a $200 golf course experience, you have to spend $200). For an affordable public golf course, it exceeded my managed expectations. For first time golfers, beware that there are a few tricky holes to navigate.
