Friendly place to play
I love coming here. The staff are very nice. The course is improving following an issue with their sprinkler system. They are so wonderful to our Women’s golf league. They are constantly working hard to improve every aspect of your golfing experience. Prices are much more reasonable in comparison to other courses.
Course is looking great
Great woman’s league on Thursdays, come join us. Course is looking great and getting better each week.
Greens are coming back
Staff has done an outstanding job getting the greens back after their water pump went down. All good things take time and it's all looking favorable.
Best customer service in Sarasota as well
Getting better
Very friendly staff! Pace of play is great! Greens got hurt a few months ago but starting to come back nicely. Great course to work on your short game and tighten up your iron shots.
Great little course.
Though the Palms is only a 64 par layout, I find the front nine to be as challenging as any of the courses in the area while the back nine is shorter it offers a great opportunity to hone your iron and wedge approach play. I recommend giving it try.
Course is coming back
The staff has done a great job getting the golf course back. They are very knowledgeable and thorough on the explanation of what they are doing. Very enjoyable course
Fun Course
I love this course and play 3 times a week. The Palms is a fun course challenging course. There are plenty of leagues to join ad well. The staff is friendly and accommodating..
Great place to play
Great place to play. Super friendly staff. Definitely suggest it to friends.
Shorter course with tricky shots
Played here again after taking time off. The back 9 is perfect for working with irons. Lots of water and some narrow fairways make this course more challenging than you think. They told me about the free ap for ranging each hole - very handy with the water! Practice range offers a large practice green that has sand, fringe and rough to chip from. Then there are five islands to practice irons with before going out. It does have some spots that are repairing, but it seems to be coming along well. Fun course for sure.
Fun course
This a fun course to play. While the irrigation problem a while ago left the course in rough shape it is improving. You can play in less than 3 hours which is great in this summer heat. Also this course drains well and is playable when other courses are closed or cart path only. Friendly staff.
In wet weather the course drains well it’s open when other course are closed due to casual water. Course has a great driving range and practice facilities
Amazing time
My group continues to play this course because of many factors. The course is in good shape and easily playable and enjoyable.
The staff is awesome and very knowledgeable!!! Overall a very fun day of golf. We will be back many times.
Buyer Beware
The course was in terrible condition, could not discern where the fairway was vs. rough. If you could even call it a fairway. Tee boxes were nothing but weeds and the greens were horrific. It looked like the place has not been taken care of in quite some time.

Don't Bother Aiming on Putts
The greens were mostly dirt and sand. Tee boxes were in above average shape. Fairways needed mowing and had many thin areas. The rough was fairly long and we lost many balls in it. Large swampy ditches cross the fairways on some holes, so an app really helps out on distance to this type of hazard as they do not have GPS in the carts. Odd layout in that the front 9 is 2572 yards (mens) and the back nine is only 1369 yards. I would give them another try when the course is fully recovered.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes!
