Sad

I have played this course several times in the last 6 months and it has always been in great condition. Today was shocking to see how much it has gone down hill in the last 4 weeks. Greens terrible, fairways almost non existent on some holes. I love the course but wont be going back until the conditions improve ten fold.

Superb

The Palmer course was everything I expected. The greens were perfect. They held. The distance from the blue tees was challenging but not overwhelming. I wish it was closer to NPR.

Nice layout

We enjoyed or time on the saddlebrook course. Some greens need a little help but you could tell they are working on them. Hopefully in a few months they will be better. Tight fairways which makes it nice not having to hit driver on every hole but if you can hit straight drives you’ll be happy.

Great course

Not overly long but allows for driver from the blue tees. The greens are phenomenal. They roll nicely and hold.

This course has went downhill. The Saddle Brook side is not worth playing Possibly one of the worst courses in Tampa area. The greens are horrible and the fairways are not much better. After 5 holes we moved over to the Palmer side to see if it was any better yes it is better but it's not up to The standards it once was . Believe the pandemic probly cause a lot of the maintenance problems. Oh well hope they get it together

Gorgeous Fla day

A perfect day for golf in Florida. 65° and bright sun. No hurricanes in the forecast. The Palmer course was in great shape, From tee boxes to greens. Played as a twosome behind a twosome, behind another twosome in just over three hours.
