Palmer on 6/20/24
Always enjoy this course. Understand with temps in the 90’s for the 5th straight day, green speeds were slower than I normally recall. Pace of play was very slow but that was due to a group of 16 going off directly in front of our twosome.
It has been better
The course was not in the best of shape. I’ve seen it pristine many times before. The layout is good and the holes are fair. Stay in the fairway and you can score. The pace of play is always slow. Don’t plan on playing this course in less than four hours. If you do get done in four hours consider yourself lucky cause it usually takes closer to five hours on a normal day.
It’s been better before
The course was not in the greatest shape. I’ve seen it way better. Usually it’s top notch. The pace of play is always very slow. It will take you at least 4 hours minimum and maybe 5 if it’s busy.
Winter Golf
For winter golf the course was in pretty good condition. Greens rolled well and faster than expected. A couple fairways were a little rough, and it would be nice if people would fix their pitch marks on the greens.
Beautiful and fair
The Palmer Course at Oglebay is pleasing to the eye with enough stuff to get in your way so you want to return and play it again. Sure wish I can get back there this year.
Friendly employees, great layout
Very nice track, perfect condition, forgiving off the tee,
Pace, refreshments, etiquette…terrible.
There needs to be some adjustments made on tee times or adequate rangers in place enforcing some sort of proper etiquette/pace. Every hole on the back 9 had a minimum 15min wait, with multiple groups on every tee box. The “cart music” has gotten ridiculous. This isn’t a concert and it’s not a $20 track. The “snack shack” located off 7&13 tee boxes was closed at 4pm and we saw one drink cart all day. It took us over 5hrs to play 14holes and we called it quits and came in. Very unenjoyable (partial) round of golf.
