The Palms Golf Club At Forest Lakes

This course is really fun to play. It is not extremely long but shots need to be accurate. The greens and tees are very good, The fairways were hard and dry, but what course in Sarasota this winter isn't. I applaud the effort to upgrade this course. It has a range and practice area. This is the third time that I've played this course this winter. This time there was an unexpected treat. The course is added a touchscreen GPS, which is usually only seen at private clubs. All in all this course is a great value for your money.

Excellent staff. Friendly players. Very narrow fairways making for accurate play a necessity. I will return and recommend this course

Course is not in great shape! Very dry and the back nine is almost all par 3's. All of the ponds are dry or almost dried up.

For the price there are better options.

Enjoyed playing there!, came back for a 3rd time nice people if you looking for a fun shorter course.

Great course for tuning up your game. All of the staff was helpful and friendly. Free range balls, meal and beverages was a great way to start and end the round.

My wife got the first eagle of her life so I am sure we will beback

the course was in great shape. the greens a little fast. weather was perfect. all and all a perfect experience

Friendly staff, clean club house, great value.

Like the driving range.

Four friends and I bought memberships this winter and have played about 50 rounds. The course is in excellent condition even though there has been almost no rain this winter. The greens are quick but they hold good. The owners and staff are as good as it gets, very friendly and helpful. If you are in or near Sarasota you should give the course a try.

First of all great food! After that it's all downhill. Lots of bare fairways, only saw one water jug on front 9 and one on back 9. Come on, it's Florida and in the 80's!! Worst of all a number of tees are VERY close to last green with no protection for players teeing off. Really? No trees, bushes or nets. Free breakfast sandwich and drink in morning and hotdogs or brats with chips and beer or soda in afternoon, but this still does NOT raise the value for price paid. Sorry, but your redesign in 2015 missed !!!! Many more courses in the area with better conditions and value. Would never recommend or play again.

Many different TeeOffs where Gold was about the double distance of ladies.

From Gold the par four and most of the par threes were as long as a challenging full course (several 400 yds par 4).

Course was in good shape. Nice club house/bar. Some of the holes are positioned very close to each other. While approaching some holes you are in direct line with the the group ahead teeing off. Stay alert. Greens were good but fast with substantial break. Back nine shorter than front.

Save your money or play another course. The fairways at The Palms at Forest Lake are like concrete, the T boxes are beat up, many of the ball washes are broken, and the greens are mediocre. It took 2 of us 5 hours to play this executive course. Course was overbooked and jammed. The only redeeming value was that the employees were very pleasant.

Fun time...have not golfed since 2016...golfer was a bit rusty and wild....course being new and narrow with lots of opportunities to get into trouble...made this an interesting and challenging outing...particularly the back 9. Will play this one again....fun time with wife and friend.

Any course that allows for pros teaching on each hole lacks respect for paying customers. Never again will we go there.
