Don’t waste your time
Please do not waste your time nor your money there a far better places to play golf this should be shut down and not called a golf course by the dog track
What a great golf course to play
I always enjoy playing in this golf course! I recommend everyone to try at lease once and see how you like it. I am pretty sure you want to come back more often. This is exactly what happened to me and my wife!
Course review
Second time playing this course. Like the layout and value.
Palms play
We had a group of eight ladies. Thats played 18. Course conditions weee good and pace of playas well. Had a fun afternoon. Will return to The Palms.
Course Features
Apart from the mostly par 3’s on the back 9, the course is very playable and quite scenic with an abundance of birds and also turtles in the water hazards.
The greens and fairways are in good shape but the T boxes are in need of maintenance and the markers on the tees are in bad shape and in need of replacement.
Bogus information
Unfortunately, this course with the aid of Golf Now is giving bogus information. I purchased a tee time that was represented as one available at that time, when in fact it was open space between two large groups that I had to play as a lone golfer with no chance of playing thru. Extreme waste of forty-eight dollars. My recommendation is don't be fooled by these unfair practices.
Not worth the money
It was a disappointment from the start. No one at the bag drop. My wife went in and had to wait while counter man grabbed with a local. Then let a foursome skip in front of her because their tee time was before ours. Made no mention of range balls of where the range was even though was supposed to be included. No great loss since the driving “range” (a pond) was about 500 yards away.
Got to the first tee on time and had to wait for a group of 6 in front of us. Supposed to have only 4 playing but as round progressed we noticed others participating. No rangers. Finally we just passed them on a hole. Tees and fairways were sparse but greens were good. Sandtraps shallow and caked.
We paid $59 b4 tax and charges. Really only worth $25. Only way I’d play it again is for free to make up for what we should of payed.
Enjoyable Round
One male and three females played this course this morning and were pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. The tee boxes were a little rough and fairways dry but considering the lack of rain in our area we could dismiss these conditions. The greens were in excellent shape and putted true! We had a wonderful three hour round and will return soon.
The course is fun to play.
Front 9 is fun and challenging and the back 9 is full of short par 3’s. A good course to work on your irons, pitch and putt game but not on their $69.99 standard green fees. A few years ago i could play it for $35 which included a free lunch of a hot dog and a beer. I’ve played it twice this year but must keep it in the $40’s for green fees. Go to the special online specials.
Quick round usually that you can use all your clubs
The front nine is a full course while the back nine is mostly par 3s. the greens are in good shape while the fairways lack grass in many areas.
Tee boxes need a lot of work. Greens and fairways are OK but not great. Fun to play if looking for a break from a Par 72 course
Needs water
This course could be pleasant and interesting. Some decent holes although the back nine is a little strange with 7 par 3’s. However we would have enjoyed it more if there was any grass on the fairways. There is clearly no effort to water the fairways and they were hard, largely bare and it was like hitting off of hard pan. If the management would commit to maintaining the course (including the tee boxes which were pockmarked with divots and dirt) this could be a fun course. The greens were decent and ran relatively true. Sand traps were hard with little sand.
At $50 this seemed to be a case of you get what you pay for.
