The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes

The Entire course is hardpan. the back nine is nothing but par 3 with 2 par 4s grass was being cut at 1 pm during play. greens were dead dry.. And its not even hot out. No way worth the price. If you have kids to learn how to play sure. But honestly not a well manicured course by any means. One guy who we felt sorry for trying to run the entire cluhouse,kitchen and bar,and starter.

While we (my wife and I) booked a late afternoon tee because of the price, we we allowed to go out about an hour early. The earlier tee times were listed at about $64 and we paid $26 for green fees and cart. The young lady in the pro shop was quite friendly and most accomodating. That was the last favorable thing I am able to say about the course except that there were so few golfers on the course that we were able to play this short course in about two hours. The teeing areas were very thin and many were mostly sand. The fairways were as thin and bare as any I have ever played. The greens are in very poor condition and the sand traps are hard as a rock, apparently, they are never raked. We had our own GPS units, but apparently, the holes have been redone and/or renumbered rendering a GPS virtually useless. There is no water or ball washers on the course. The cart was great and was the only golf related amenity justifying the charge. While one gets what one pays for, this course was not worth the money we paid.

The staff is so nice and friendly. They always recognize your entry into the clubhouse right away and ask what they can do for you. You can’t beat playing here; front nine offers some distance challenge. And the back is great to hone your short game. Overall it’s great and doesn’t take the whole day to play.

Most accomodating manager and staff I have ever encountered.

Front nine more traditional with some par 4’s & par 5 in the mix. Back 9 is shorter all par 3’s except 1 short par 4. Greens are best feature fairly fast but roll true. You can’t spray the ball or you w I’ll find trouble. Fairways aren’t the best with patchy grass. I play in a league & the manager is very accommodating. He’s friendly & he’s hustling to serve up a large contingent of players just finishing our rounds & serving lunch & trying to check in the next batch of customers. He could use some help. His assistant I s also friendly.

Very challenging par 64 course. Greens are great but fast. They just redid the fairways and their starting to improve greatly. Playing this course will make you a better player when playing a par 72 course. Will challange your skill level.

Course manager was very friendly and efficient. He was very welcoming and got our large group of players on the course and on time. Lunch afterwards was also good. Thanks Sven!!

Although winter conditions have fairways dry and bare in some areas, the greens are in good condition.The course layout has some challenging holes. The staff and manager are outstanding in their efforts to accomodate groups and make each golfer feel welcome and important.

This course is great value for the money. The pro shop staff is incredibly helpful . They work really hard to make your day go well. I have enjoyed my time here immensely.

This is your grand dads tournament course

Short shots a specialty

Priced reasonable

The management of this course treats our large group as valued customers. Svwen N. is a very personable golf sho[ manager and gives us a great deal and excellent food service after the play.

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to work on his/her short game. Although the course is short there are some interesting hole layouts. The greens are well kept and fast.

For the money there is no way to beat their deal. The staff works so hard and are so accommodating. I play this course every Tuesday and the manager always has us set up and ready to go when we get there. We have 32 golfers and we all love playing this course. A lot of challenging par 3’s and 4’s. There is also a par 5. The greens are in good shape and the fairways are nicely laid out. Always look forward to Tuesday mornings.

Absolutely deplorable conditions - dried out fairway and greens. Some fairways to the point I couldn’t find grass to hit off. I wonder if they just wait for rain, instead of deploying sprinklers. Never again.
