misleadingly difficult
The slope rating is way way to low. If your shot is slightly off the course, the rounded fairway shoulders put the ball in water most of the time.
So Rough = Water much of the time.
It will challenge you
Would never go back
The person in the pro shop who checked us in was grumpy and sarcastic. I purchased just a logo ball (the golf was already paid through golfnow)and was told they take only credit cards. I found this odd and he made it clear he was annoyed having to often explain this to people. The course is very strange with the front being about 1000 yards longer than the back. It was an interesting layout but the pace of play was very slow having to follow players who clearly knew very little about golf. We did jump over a group only to come on three players playing out of two bags. We watched one player hit 2 balls about 30 yards directly right into the woods. We thought it would be fun to play an executive course but this one not so much.
Great Course
My husband us an experienced player while I am a beginner. Course was perfect for the both of us. Will def play this course again.
Greens decent, but no grass on fairways
Did not care for the course. I knew it was short on the back, but did not expect the course to be so bare of grass in the fairways.
A fun afternoon
We booked this course last minute as we were travelling through the area. Staff were friendly and the pace of play was very good considering that the course was entirely full. The course provided a great opportunity for us to work on our short game after several months off as we reside in the snow laden North!
Well worth a visit
As a par 64 it’s a great course if you want to get around in about three hours. It requires accuracy and provides a good challenge. Course is in good condition and greens are great. Staff are fantastic and food is good making it a fun and enjoyable experience.
Excellent Golf Day!
My husband and I had a great time playing this course. The course was challenging enough for him who is a seasoned golfer but not frustrating for me a beginner golfer. The course was in good shape. There was a lot of run to the ball on the fairways. The greens were very interesting to read - number 9 is especially challenging if one has a downhill putt!! We are already planning our next visit to this course. Also, can’t beat the price!!
Cannot wait for rain
I read the reviews in advance as this is a short course.
We got what we expected. Greens were awesome and fairways nice grass but hard.
There has not been rain for some time and he course is stressed.
But, still not to the point where you are not having fun.
Just an extra 50 yards of roll.
Played with wife and we had a blast.
There are a few holes you should use driver otherwise put it away and force yourself to use more clubs in your bag.
We are going back.
Pay for what you get
Good deal on the course but not worth it. There was a tournament going on, the starter and general manager were playing in the tournament so when we went to check in the bartender was running the clubhouse. She had no clue what she was doing. Teed off on the first hole only to find out there were 4 golf carts ahead of us with 7 people playing on one hole. We had to skip hole 2 to get to hole 3 and bypass them. If you’re looking looking for a cheap round of golf on a so so Course this is it. Would suggest paying the extra money for a nicer course. Mind you golfnow also made the mistake of booking us during a tournament so maybe it would be different if the GM or starter were in the pro shop running things.
Tee Markers need improved
Tee markers can barely be seen. They need to be elevated and painted. The greens are pretty good but the tee boxes are horrible
Hidden Gem
I've played over a dozen rounds at The Palms this year and it does not disappoint. I love the 2 and a half hour rounds with friends and the course conditions are excellent for the price. Greens are a bit fast at times but not too challenging even for an amateur like me. Mix of mostly par 3's and 4's with a decent par 5 as well. Excellent place for a fun round. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!
