Great course in wonderful shape. Small tough greens for a resort course. Make it all the more challenging. Great fun on a nice day. Treated right from the start. Very good resort golf.

Awesome...

Everything was great. Course condition pace of play the greens ran true the fact that the course is open to begin with was awesome the only offputting thing was at the driving range, the attendant was very keen on making sure that you didn’t hit too many balls. Not sure what that’s all about. The listing said “includes range balls”.

Fun and Challenging Course

Haven’t played here in over 25 years. That turned out to be a mistake. The course is in excellent condition and is a good layout. Nice course for driving with large landing areas. Greens were holding very well but are on the small size. I was left with some challenging chips. Everyone in the foursome wants to go back. This is rarely an opinion held by this group.

The Reviews tell the story

The course is in pretty good shape. The greens look great and are rolling true, not to fast or slow. The tee boxes and fairways have some good and some rough spots. The bunkers are very soft like waking on the beach.

Staff was Very friendly. Still no water to drink due to Covid so bring plenty. Cart girl was out and we saw her twice in the first 13 holes.

EXCELLENT DAY & EXCELLENT COURSE

Today, I played an incredible course for the first time with three other friends.

We had a beautiful sunny day.

The course is Immaculate from the fairways to the greens.

I would give this course an A+ rating.

We all said we would return to play this course very soon.

The atmosphere was amazing all day long.

I would recommend this course to all who desire to play on an excellent course.

What made the day complete is that I ended up shooting a real good score.

Glad I Played

I only live 45 minutes from this course but had never played it or seen the entire property. I was very impressed by the overall experience. It definitely has that resort course feel. Not a long course so hitting driver isn't always best option. The greens are very sloped so all the pin placements were about 1-3 yards from the fringe so that was not my favorite but they have no other choice cause it would be an illegal pin placement.

Great golf resort. Course in wonderful shape. Fun track. Very challenging from back tees. Must have all parts of your game going well. Small greens for a resort course which makes it that much more challenging. Want to replay for sure.

Worth the drive

Despite 90 min drive, decided to play for the first time because of resort reputation, special price, and desire to get out of my area during this trying time.

Staff super helpful. Fairways in good condition. Greens also well maintained, but very fast.

One quirk- cannot drive to clubhouse. Must be picked up in parking lot by cart that comes by every few minutes. Otherwise a fairly long walk.

Great shape

Palmer course was awesome as always. Greens held good shots into them and putted true . Fairways were cut short enough for ball to run out yet enough height to keep the ball teed up nicely in the fairways. Most of the times the staff is super friendly. Walt must-have been having a bad day with this one man whom kept interrupting him as he was giving direction to the range. Cause he got short with his replys. But still friendly. Beverage cart gal was super friendly as she offered iced down beers for your enjoyment. Didn't have valet this day but I didn't mind at all. I've got another round booked already here.

Excellent As Always

Played with the covid-19 precautions in place. The course was in great shape with fast greens per usual. Pace of play was slower than normal but given covid-19 it is better than most places. Will definitely play again.

Challenging layout, Great condition

Enjoyable round. Tee times are currently spread out due to coronavirus, so pace of play was quick. Greens are in great shape, but difficult - lots of undulations. A few tee boxes are rough and bare, otherwise the course is in excellent condition.

Great Day

Had a 12:18 tee time but was able to go off about 20 minutes early

Pace was great 3 and a half hours we were a twosome.

Though because of covid all water stations were closed

So we played 18 with no water at all .

Wish I could say the same for my game but that’s another story.

Greens were in great shape but a little slow

We played the Palmer course
