Beautiful Mountain Course
Palmer was in great shape considering it is only April 13th. It’ has an unusual routing with 6 par threes, 5 par fives, and 7 par fours. You don’t really notice the abundance of par threes since they’re all really solid holes. The whole resort is peaceful and serene with beautiful vistas of the hillside. For those who love a good patio for after round activities, this one is fantastic!
February Golf
Coarse was in awesome shape for winter. Had a great time playing and will play again as soon as we get a warm day.
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.
