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 .

It was a fair course. Only good with discount

The staff is hit or miss. They were busy and not very friendly. I got a $25 golf now special so it was worth it. The course is wide open except for a couple of tight holes. The greens were 3/5. The fairways 3/5. There is some water to make it challenging on some holes. I rather play Jacaranda or Plantation preserve but in the winter $25 is a great deal for any decent course.

Duffer Course

This is a slow track golf course with a lot of new or beginning golfers and the conditions are not in very good shape compared to the other Palm Air Courses. Although the prices are a little less they are a much better value.

Great location, good improvements in last two years

Needed improvements have been made in recent years. The course is playing well with decent greens. The back is tight off the tees in places so it's a challenge for driving. Some water but a good overall balance.

Greens a bit slow but layout is not bad. No ranger on course so the pace is excruciatingly slow. You are at the mercy of the 50 handicappers in front of you.

Worst Clublink Course

I am not a Clublink memeber, but has played few courses in Ontario. The Plam course at Plam Aire is probably the worst one I ever played. The fairway is hard and bare, the water hazard looks like sewer. For sure I won't play at Plam Aire again.

Classic South Florida golf course

Honestly, there is not very much in the way of exciting and unique golf experiences in South Florida that are available for public play. Therefore, my goal on a recent Saturday afternoon was to find a nice course in good condition where I could play at my own pace. Not only did the Palms cover all that, but I always appreciate when my interaction with the employees is so positive. While the layout is rather simple, I actually found more that a few challenging tee shots on the Par 4's and Par 5's. The location was also literally minutes from my hotel and the cart girls were out there until very late in the afternoon.

The Palms Course

Staff was great and friendly. They course is a nice layout and forgiving for their average player. Tee boxes were in nice shape and large greens that were in great shape. We were rained out after 10 so, 11-18 I would not be able to comment on. I'm looking forward to going back.

good for the money

Good course for the money. If you are playing well you can take a low number on this course. Greens in good shape and don't break too much making scoring straightforward. If this course had a few more bunkers the scoring would be more difficult but it's a fun course to play.

Palms course

Palm course - A nice course, slightly boring, few hazards water limited, a couple of narrow fairways, large sized greens. Rental clubs were very good new, clean full set of 2014 taylormade but at $55 the course lets itself down as this was more than the $35 green fee. Decent putting green, fairways ok, greens ok, sand traps average - if you are a low handicap you can shoot low here the greens were receptive to good approaches - I hit at least 7-8 shots to 10-12 feet. My handicap is 10-11 and if i had a good putting day could easily have shot 75 here. A good course for mid to higher handicappers or those low handicappers looking for a low round but for those seeking a premium challenging course with features look elsewhere.

needs an update

The facilities are old, and the course shows the wear and tear of an inexpensive option. The greens are in good shape, but fairways, rough, and tee-boxes all need to be updated. Some bunkers have been left alone to become waste bunkers, but the ones that gaurd the greens are in better shape than I thought they would be. I went into the round thinking about joining the membership option for the three courses on the property, but more than likely will not be playing here again. Heron Bay is a much better option for around the same pricing, even if it is more expensive.
