There are better values for my money. Course in rough condition. Halfway house was closed and bathrooms were locked. They shuttle you from the parking lot - possibly valet closed due to COVId. Not my cup of tea.

Need a ranger PLEASE! Front nine played fast but back nine slow because of one foursome backing up course. Slower players need to let people play through.

Very Nice Experience Except for the.....

Staff was super friendly, course was in decent shape for winter. Two complaints: 1) our cart's parking brake was horrible, I had to continuously pound it to lock it down and 2) we played the first 6 holes in 45 minutes and then took well over 3 hours for the last 12 holes. We had a single in front of us and a foursome in front of them. A ranger should have been out there to let the single play through.

Enjoyable day of play

Enjoyable day at the course , landscaping is beautiful and meticulously manicured. We were disappointed in the greens which were being worked on but overall very pleased. More sand traps than we’re used to but beautiful traps that have been well taken care of. Saw quite a few gators yesterday and at the ladies tee on the second hole I went to get out of the cart and was about 20 feet from a 14 foot gator sunning himself, needless to say I moved up and created my own tee box. Great experience for the price, will return again.

Excellent Choice in Tampa area.

The Palmer course is in excellent condition and the greens run smooth and are in great condition. Excellent layout with several challenging holes. I have played the course three times and have never been disappointed.

Wet but still great.

90° today. Course a little wet but still played well. Great layout. Greens are in perfect condition. So were the fairways. Had a very enjoyable time. I would recommend this to anyone. Very friendly staff especially the young lady who picked us up from the parking lot.

Palmer

Great layout. A bit wet after overnight rain and cart path only. Nice turf, slow greens but lush likely not cut because of the rain? Employees good but shuttle system a bit unwieldy. Haven’t played here in a few years... will be back
