Much improved

This was my second visit to Forest Lakes. The first time, several months ago, I gave the course 3 stars. At that time, the course conditions were pretty rough. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to find the conditions much improved. There is still room for improvement but. all in all, I was impressed with the improved conditions.

I'll definitely be back

Nice in town golf course

The Palms is well maintained and a nice short course. (4545 yds) par 64.

People are friendly and easy going. Kinda funky back 9 with 7 par 3 and 2 par 4’s.

Enjoyable place to play

Nice little course

It’s a short course, back 9 is mostly par 3 but there are a couple par 5’s on the front. Good course to practice short game. This time of year ever course I play is slow pace so can’t blame the course for that. It’s in decent shape. Nice course to play if you don’t have a lot of time, it’s pretty quick when it’s not busy. Staff is always super friendly and helpful. They have a little bar inside and a driving range for your irons.

Good greens,

Friendly staff, good greens (faster than most in the area) and fairways. Fun to play! Excellent course for seniors. Could be some improvement to cart cleaning.
