Diamond in the Rough!

Last week I played the front 9, this week I played the back 9. Great course. Long manicured fairways. Not many sand traps in play, but water can be a problem on the back 9. Hole 17 is the signature hole on the course it’s a beauty.

Overall, great value and pace of play. The club house is a little shack, truly - but still great value. And I met some great fellows golfers.

Pace of play

The pace of play was ridiculous due to the course letting four 5-some groups go out and play. No ranger Scott let these people. Know they were holding everyone up. Plus 5 hour round in 100 degree heat is not fun. Waiting 8-10 min on each tee box to tee off is not fun. Do better Palmira.

Terrible Pace of Play

Started my round at 11:00 and made it to hole 16 by 3:15. Called the rangers but pace of play wasn’t enforced. Left before finishing the 16th hole. Waited about 10-15 minutes between shots. Absolutely terrible, I will not be returning

The “Old Course”

White Hawk certainly gets its favor as NWI’s best public course, but Palmira is an absolute gem. Has an old course feel that clearly puts the priority on an affordable round that has very underrated course conditions. The greens this morning were the best I’ve ever seen them. Tournament level green and pure. And they break sharply favoring good putters. Its a slept on course.

Great course, terribly managed.

The course itself is by far the best you’re going to find for the $60 price tag (with cart). All the grass was cut and maintained for absolutely great playing condition. The maintenance guy was super cool as well as the starter. The lady in the clubhouse was a grump, and most public course are. And they have way overbooked the place. They had multiple groups of 40+ playing that day as well as all the normal tee times. I’d go back again, just not on the weekend.

Solid choice

For $62 to play 18 with a cart, this is a hard to beat course in NWI. Well maintained and challenging. Staff could be a bit more attentive, but they at least get their job done.
