The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes

The Palms has continuosly improved through the summer and gets better week by week. The greens are medium fast and rolling true. It's fun hitting off fairways with lush mowed grass. If you haven't played it recently, you owe it to yourelf to give try now.

Great management and pricing make this fun local course a frequent choice. While not one of the tour stops, The Palms at Forest Lakes here in Sarasota has variety and challenge and a proper clubhouse atmosphere to put a smile on any golfer.

The course continues to improve. Despite a pump failure earlier in the year, the staff have been diligent in their attempt to turn things around. Sven openly communicates about the plans moving forward and goals of the course. Always a pleasant experience.

The Palms Golf Course is what my husband and I call city golf. You have to cross a busy road between the front and back nine and listen to sirens and traffic here and there on the course. Other than that, this course is in fair shape for an inexpensive round of golf. The general manager was friendly and extra helpful in preparing us for the course. We made it through 11 holes in the heat when the storms came in and we felt we had gotten our money's worth. I was on the fence about whether I would recommend it to a friend. It is better than Village Green Golf Club down the street but still a little rough. If you get a good rate, try it out.

The pace of play was very good today. The greens continue to improve. Clubhouse and grounds staff are very friendly and professional.

The staff is always friendly and accommodating. There have been big improvements to green conditions since the spring as well as the rest of the course. Complete turnaround. You can not find a better deal and it's in the middle of town basically. Hidden gem

Nice day, friendly, helpful staff. Second time here in 2 days.

Greens are coming back nicely since the course's water pump went down over the summer. Staff has done a tremendous job

Fun course, - 1st 9 holes like any other course - back 9 with lots of par 3s like an Executive course. Good layout and very friendly staff.

This is a good little course that has had some growing pains this summer due to some sprinkler issues. That being said, it has recovered well and gets better every single day. The fairways are narrow which makes it challenging and fun. It’s a walkable course with a great layout. The very active women’s league is so welcoming to all players and has really grown in numbers over the past year. It’s a course you’ll want to try!

I love playing this course. It is very tricky to play.. The greens are improving from the summer and can’t wait for fall. Sven is such a nice guy, very professional and really tries to accommodate all golfers!

The Palms is a very beginner friendly course, though it also possess very challenging and accurate shots for the pros. Walk it, ride it, just plain fun. Sven and the staff have great costumer service!

Staff is very friendly. Course is improving with every passing week. Great women’s league. Very accommodating and would highly recommend for an enjoyable round of golf.

I think the Palms is a challenging track for players of all levels.

It drain’s very well in wet weather where a lot of courses will be flooded. I would recommend it if you haven’t played it, and if you have played there before it’s in a lot better shape than it was a couple of months ago.

Once faved Rainforest Restaurant at the old clubhouse and fun neighborhood course has been revamped into a properly quaint clubhouse with well-prepared limited menu at a fun neighborhood course. The manager is super helpful and friendly. Be straight on the couple holes that become roof haven for slicers. Hey, if I had lots of dough, I'd play all over ya know; and here I'd still go.

If you can score well at the Palms. You shouldn’t have any problems on a Par 72 course! It’s a very rewarding feeling shooting a low round at the palms! Feels like an accomplishment. Friendly staff who have been working hard to keep the course maintained.

I moved to Sarasota a year ago and was looking for a new golf course when I stumbled across this hidden gem. I have been playing this course now once a week for over a year! It is a sneaky course, with tough fairways and difficult greens. The back 9 is a walkable par 3 course which has helped my short game tremendously. Course stays in good shape throughout the summer off season compared to some other public courses in the area. Highly recommend trying if you are in the area you won't be disappointed!
