The Palms Golf Course is a tract that locals and visitors alike just love to play. Originally designed by William Mitchell in 1962, the Palms was completely renovated by Karl Litton and Lorie Viola in 1996.

The accommodating fairways make it easier to hit your tee shots in play. Once on the 'dance floor', the Bermuda greens roll true and quick.

The Palms Course has a number of picturesque water hazards. As its name would indicate, the Palms features lovely native Palm trees throughout the course.

It is most definitely a true Florida golf course and one, which everybody should put on their 'must play' list .

Very slow pace of play

The group ahead of us were very slow. We had to wait 10 mins for every hole. They claimed they were playing a tournament but did not hurry up as everyone behind them were waiting.

Tee boxes average, fairways in good condition minus the fact Florida golfers don’t care to fix their divots. Greens were in very good shape.

At the turn a threesome jumped in front of us and proceeded to drive the pace of play to a snails pace. Once two fairways opened in front of them I drove up to them and gave them the options of skipping a hole to catch up or I would hit into them off the next tee. Never hand anymore issues with pace. Don’t be afraid to be the Marshall when inconsiderate players take the course.

Tee boxes were in average shape, definitely playable. Fairways were all in good condition but like most courses here, players don’t fix or fill their divots. All the greens were in good shape.

A threesome jumped in front of us at the turn that was dead slow, taking multiple drops per hole per player and made no attempt to keep up with the group in front of them. With two fairways open in front of them and play stacking up behind, i couldn’t take it anymore so i pulled up and informed them and address the issue. I gave them the choice of skipping the next two holes to catch up or waiting and allowing groups to play through. Pace picked up immediately and no issues the rest of the day.

Nice staff

Staff is wonderful. Cart guys super nice. Starter is organized. Course is in great condition, greens fast, roughs are well maintained. ONLY issue we had was they need more policing of the course throughout the day. There was a group behind us that was playing loud music. So loud you could hear it 450 yards away. They were yelling and being obnoxious. The course play was moving slow, so there was a lot of waiting. The “gentlemen” teed off while we were in the fairway nearly hitting us. Not the courses fault, obviously, but maybe having someone policing the course could have asked them to tone it down. 5hrs and 15min to finish the round. Thank you

Don’t have high expectations

If you drop your bag off at the bag drop they move it to where the carts are. Guy at the podium was a bit disorganized and we had to wait to get our cart even though plenty of carts sitting. Course conditions-some tee boxes sandy, bunkers have blackish powdery ? sand bs dirt, greens fast and slow with many having unfixed divots. Be nice if golfers would fill some fairway divots while waiting. Fairways overall good with a couple of patchy hardpan areas. Rough fairly manicured. A lot of garbage around unfortunately, ok course.

Rip Off

They have the audacity to charge $70 for a round. Allowing people to drive on greens. Pace of play is horrible with nobody checking it. Most of the course is dirt. The only good part was the staff at the front.

Nice course

We played in about 4 hours. Greens were nice even though I couldn't make anything. Multiple tees to accommodate any golfer. Fairways a little thin in spots.
