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 .

Worst experience ever

We had a 1:30 tee time. No carts. When we finally teed off, it took 2:45 minutes to play 9 holes. It was brutal. I went to talk to someone in the pro shop and they basically told me too freakin bad. I have played here 20 times a year for over a decade... and will never book here again. No rangers in sight... terrible.

Even with bad weather - it was still a good time

Being 1 of 2 groups on the course for the entire day due to a cold and rainy day, it was still a good time. The greens drained nicely and all the water didn't really impact our putting.

The Staff was extra attentive, giving us several towels to try to keep the cart and our clubs dry.

Great Day on the Course

Course is in good shape coming into season. It was beautiful weather so I had to get out and play. The Palms is always fun to play. The only negative is that there is no beverage person on course

Beat the heat

For it being so hot lately, this course actually played well. The greens were in good shape overall, maybe one burned green. Get it close to the hole and you don't worry about that. Greens were fast and true.

Vacation golfing

The course itself was good. However, no food or drink on Tues. I got a great deal, so it was worth it. However, at full price, it would not be a great value

Good Summer Conditions

Course was in good Summer conditions. Fairways in decent shape. Greens were very good and rolled well.

It was hot and muggy and they were out of ice by the time we made the turn around 11:15am. Not good. Make sure you keep hydrated during Summer play.

This is a solid layout and the staff is very good and very helpful.

Great Value

I had a great time playing the Palm course. It really helped that I got to play with Joe. I had fun and played well for me (high 90s). Joe noted that the greens were running true but slower than typical. After the round we were told that had cut them a little higher. I started fairly early (3rd group out) and the pace of play was great, 4 hr round. I liked the layout.

playing in Florida

it was all good though I think they put too many carts around and we had to wait and cue a lot of times having 3 teams ahead of us. Even when partnering we had been delayed, I'm wondering if they should send in less player at a time

LOG JAM

Great course. Narrow and visually challenging. Loved the big tough greens. But 4 foursomes on first hole with NO Starter or Ranger at tee box. #9 was adjacent to #1 tee box... No one on that hole or 8. We had first 4 some out timed at 2:45 for front 9 which set the pace for the rest of the day. GET SOME RANGERS OUT TO SPEED PLAY and this would be a 4-5 star experience.
