Great value
Perfect for what my wife and I were looking for in a quick round of golf. Played 9 in little over an hour. Great value and staff was very friendly. Will definitely play again.
Fun little executive course
My wife and I are from out of town and had a very enjoyable afternoon. Neither of us hit the ball very far. This course had a lot of interesting holes that were not super long. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Great day on a great little course.
Nice loop
Greens were great. The staff was the best. Great scenery. I highly recommend
Thanks
For the price this best course I have played
In Sarasota!
It is a tight course not a lot room for error
Traps excellent
Around the green turf reseeded and very good for approach shots!
Need to know the course lost some balls but that is my fault!
Perfect day to play, no one around on a Sunday noon tee time. Greens were perfect. Nice layout. We will be back
Hidden gem
I’ve been playing this course since it opened back up.
They say to lower your scores you need to work on your short game and putting. Well, these greens are small, and fairways are cut tight. Pin locations are always tough and there will be no straight putts.
It was surprising how much undulations are in these greens. If you are above the hole you will pay! There’s always pros playing here. Like I said a hidden gem!
Return visit
The Palms is a short course, ideal for practising your short game. The fairways are fairly tight so, again, good for practising tee shots. The fairways are ok, not brilliantly kept, but not terrible either. The greens however are mowed exceedingly short so putting has to be spot on line and carefully struck. Perhaps the fairways aren’t quite as well managed as the greens? The course can be walked very easily and walking keeps up with buggies no problem. In general, a short course good for practice.
Maybe not for everyone but I liked it. Lots of Iron play.
Extended executive
Par 64
The back nine is pretty much a series of par 3’s
Not bad if you want to work on your iron game but far to short if you are looking for proper 18 holes
Greens OK
Played early with nobody in front
Might get tedious with all those par 3’s if busy?
Just right for intense heat of the day.
Greens under maintenance and fairways in poor condition. Good short game challenge and plays quick enough for high heat.
Great service
The service was the best part of this course. We wanted to play it with a few couples because it is not overly long. Course is oddly laid out, and fairways were rough. Greens were in great condition. We had a few members jumping from hole to hole, trying to get in front of us. We were playing best ball and at a great pace. The cheap membership rates will bring out all the hillbillies. Way better courses to play in the area for the same price.
BEST SHORT COURSE AROUND !!!!!
GREAT STAFF, GREAT LAYOUT !!!!!! GREENS AWESOME !!!!
Enjoyable
Nice course for my wife and I to play together. A little challenging being that it was our first time playing there. Excellent pace of play - finished our 18 holes in under 3 hours. Friendly staff. Would consider playing there again.
