Dangerous track

Wanted an executive course for the family to play and thos wasn't bad. Some tee boxes and fairways beat up and the greens were dormant but ran true. The part that wasn't good were many of the tee boxes were right next to the last green. At least a half dozen holes the people behind us ball landed among our carts.. This not 20 to 30 or 40 yards off line or long but within 10 to 20 yards of the green. To wait for the group to not only clear the green but tee off the next hole is not expected. So if you play here be aware.

Short, Narrow, and in bad shape

If golf courses were neighborhoods, this course would be a trailer park. Tee boxes looked rough, fairways were thin and sandy, the rough was non existent, and the back nine was a glorified par three course.

The greens and fairways had a very thin layer of grass followed by tons of sand making the greens very fast for a course that looks like it was foreclosed on months ago. Driving range was not long enough to hit driver and you have to cross a busy road multiple times where I witnessed multiple cars blow straight through the lights and cross walks set up for the golf course.

Friendly staff

The staff here are always super friendly. Course is in better shape than it was this summer. Fairways very fast, grass cut short, some patches of missing grass, but it’s not too bad. It’s a short course, I believe par is 64 so good work for your short game. Pace of play is usually pretty good but not today. I think this time of year a lot of courses are going to be that way. I was waiting at every tee box. Good course for beginners because it is short, but that could be part of the reason for the slow pace today as well. I play here because it is right across the street and super convenient. On a good day I can play 18 in 2 hours, today it took over 3. I still believe it is priced too high compared to other courses in that price range, but there are usually deals online that make it a better value and keep me coming back.

Two Courses

One 9 is like a normal course and the other 9 is like an executive course. Both are fun and it only took about 3 hours for 2 of us to play.

Great for the price!

A lot of par 3's ON THE BACK 9. Greens were in good condition and rolled well. You can leave your driver in the bag for most of the day.

The Palms round 1

Short course, not in the best of conditions. Irons all the way if you want. Greens and fairways are rock hard and fast. Older course. Amenities not much to mention but cosey. Star conversant and enjoying the guest interaction. Greens are likewise fast. Water present on many holes increasing the challenge. Nice older course I would recommend.
