We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes.
Awesome fun little course
Perfect for when you wanna play a fun no pressure match with friends. Awesome staff wish the back 9 was a little longer but it’s a good chance to work on your short game!
Poor course conditions
Tee boxes and greens in absolutely terrible condition. Would not play again

We take customer feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop and tell us what's on your mind.
Friendly staff, great course!
Staff was awesome. The course recently had their irrigation system go down and they are currently trying to get it back into shape. Staff will let you know what’s going on and are super helpful.
Great Time with Family
Had a great time with my Father and Brother-In-Law! Course was great and the service was very friendly. Thanks for the great memories!!!
Treated like Kings
It was my groups first time playing and what impresses me the most was we were treated like family. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were helpful and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our experience. The course is in good shape.....we enjoyed the layout.
Overall we will be back as regulars to play. Wonderful experience
Great course
Great course. Great staff. Unfortunately a stroke of misfortune prior to our visit left the course in ok condition. Would like to play when it’s back in prime condition. Fast fun course. Won’t take all your vacation day. I recommend
Not a great course
Course was in bad shape. Greens were like putting on a gravel driveway. Awkward layout as well, but somewhat challenging. Staff was very friendly, pace was great because no one was there I’m sure due to the conditions. Had an okay time, but I wouldn’t go back.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes.
Your feedback helps us do better. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly.
Thank you for visiting The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
The Palms Golf Course
I'm an intermediate player who enjoys playing at The Palms. It's a challenging course and has helped me improve my game. Been playing there for yrs. Sven is so accommodating with a great personality.
Great place to golf.
The Gm of the course was the nicest person I have ever dealt with. They had some pumps go out earlier this season. He was not satisfied with the course yet and he was very apologetic and helped out with a deal. Just from the interaction with him I would play here again and plan to on my next trip down here again. The course itself was very fun to play and had some great greens.
Fun Course to Play
My friends and I enjoy playing at The Palms and have been playing there for several years now. It is challenging to us but not as long as other courses which we appreciate. The staff is extremely nice and helpful.
Course is Coming Back Well
I've seen that there are some unfavorable reviews for The Palms due to course conditions caused by a catastrophic irrigation system failure in May. Yes, the course isn't in its normally pristine condition, but it is well on its way back. We can thank the efforts of Sven and the grounds crew that we have a course at all right now, The course is definitely playable, and you can't beat the effort by the general manager and the staff to make your outing memorable.
Great Value
Best value in Sarasota. The staff is excellent, super friendly and go out if their way to make you feel like a part of the club. If you are a working man/woman, not looking to break the bank , this is your course.
The affordable makes it super accessible compared to the high dollar country clubs. The membership prices can't be beat anywhere. I highly suggest playing in their MWF leagues.
Awesome practice facility for the price, unbeatable.
Vacation golf
Understanding, not knowing they had lost sprinklers, the condition today was surprising, what they have done in a little time. Can't wait to play when it is back to normal. Layout for us amateurs is perfect..
Staff was very outstanding, friendly, helpful and a very good value.
Not enough grass
The tees, fairways and greens really lacked grass.
We paid about $38 each for a 9 hole rate...that puts this course in the $75-$80 range for 18 holes.
Bad value given the course conditions.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
GREENS WERE ABHORRENT!
totally unacceptable greens. Like putting in someone's backyard.

Regular golfer
This is probably the best deal in Sarasota to just go play a round of golf. The pro shop as well as the outside staff couldn't be more friendly. The course is generally well maintained and has some challenging aspects. Though the area has lacked rainfall so far this year I have found this course to be open for play even when conditions are too wet to play some of the neighboring courses.
