Outstanding
Couldn't ask for a better round on Thanksgiving Day!
Wow!
Course was incredibly nice for winter.
Great staff.
Good food.
The Palmer Course
The Palmer course remains one of my favorites in the tri-state area. The course has a unique layout with five par 5’s and 5 par 3’s. It is a challenging but fun course to play.
It is a bargain if you can find a discount but a little pricey if you pay the regular rate.
Ogelbay - Palmer
Great course. Great condition. Challenging fair layout. Would 100% recommend
Palmer at Speidel
It was a hot day and we had the course to ourselves. The online rate was a great value for this challenging and well maintained course.
Disappointing
Have played Palmer multiple times over the years and usually enjoy it. However today was not the case. None of the bunkers were raked and # of greens not rolled. Almost felt like the resort cannot operate the course any longer. The half way house was open at one point but then closed mid day as we were on the back 9. In addition there was no beverage cart at all on a beautiful Friday afternoon. For $80+ Fee not worth it at this point. Ogelbay needs to decide if they can operate a quality course as they are not keeping a course designed by Arnold Palmer to the standard it should be. Very disappointing.
Not a flat hole on this course
This is a very hilly track with some tricky undulating greens. I wouldn't say that it's worth paying full rack rate but, if you get a "hot deal" rate then you should definitely play it.
The outside staff was extremely friendly, however, the woman inside was not.
Travelling through and stopped for golf
It's a Palmer course so you know it is going to be a treat. The course was in great condition for spring golf. My beef is the directions for the course at the website is wrong and the link to Goggle maps in the confirmation email actually took us to a university parking lot down town. Finally got directions from someone who had the same problem. Told the pro at the course and he just blew it off. Guess everyone has to have the same experience.
