What a dog track
By far the worst course I played in the Sarasota area. If playing off of dried up, dead grass, then this is your place. The tee boxes are trash and the fairways aren't any better. The greens, while dry, where not the worst I've played. Throw a dart at a map and you'll find a course better than the palms. Don't waste your time or money here.
The Palms
Over priced and a very poor excuse of a golf course.

A 5 some started on #1 just before us ( 1 walker and 4 golfers in 2 carts. I don’t think pro shop knew. I went in to comment, he came out to look, but they had no one else there that could leave check-in. He suggested we play #1 once they cleared(it was my wife and myself) and skip #2 and go to 3. We did that, and joined a father and his teenaged son to make a foursome. We stayed ahead the whole round, one could sense grumbling but nothing outright.
I believe the shop did not know the solo golfer was joining the 5. Nevertheless, he must have paid and had a t time(not ahead of us))
Have never seen any on course help here.
It’s cheaper, but you get what you pay for

Worse course ever
The course was in terrible shape. Tee boxes were terrible. The back nine had 7 par threes in a row. From 125 yards down to 66 yards. It was a joke. The scenery was bad, the guy running the place was rude. No food ready at the turn. Just a miserable experience. Just find a putt putt course to play instead. Also it was $70 a person. Should have been $70 got a lifetime membership to plays this dump.

Day of golf with friends
The course was fine for the money, but in rough shape, especially in the fairways. All in all, fun day of golf

Worst experience ever!
My foursome was behind two other groups that were playing extremely slow. After nine holes, both groups left. At 11 the starter came to us and said we need to pick up the pace. We explained what happened then he said we need to play faster. Shortly after that the gm came to us and demanded we play faster. We again had to explain what happened and he just stormed off and said we will meet at the clubhouse. When we finished our game we again spoke to the gm and explained what happened and said that we were in the wrong for not complaining about the group ahead of us. The GM did not seek to understand our side and ruined our friends first time at the course. I have played numerous times and never have been treated so poorly. Ill gladly pay to go somewhere else from now on.
