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 .

Fabulous Time

My first time playing this course. Even though we had to wait on a few holes, the pace of play was good. We actually finished 18 in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Want to return to play the other 2 courses. Weather was wonderful. Could not have dreamed of a more perfect day. Even finished with a par on 18!!

Great course for an relaxing round

I took my friend for his first time golfing here, and everyone was very courteous. We played 9 holes (no 9 hole pricing, unfortunately) in 2 hours and 10 minutes, playing best ball, with him teeing up every shot except for putts. Would highly recommend as a great round to start off your golfing in the Ft. Lauderdale area!

Beau terrain, mal entretenu

besoin d'un peu de rafraîchisement; les tertres de départ n'ont presque plus de verdure.Les chemins pour les carts sont cahoteux et des gens se promènent avec leur chien sur la terrain.

Good enough to keep coming back

I found out from the pair we were teamed up with that they renovated the course last year. It explains the greens being in very good shape. We try to get out early in the day and we always see the maintenance crew when we do. They are working hard on this course which is great to see. Greens are an 8, Fairways 9, Bunkers 9. I hate it when the bunkers are in bad shape because I always struggle when its muddy, clumpy or just poorly maintained. As challenging as some of these bunkers are, I can always get out in one because they are consistent. You just don't see that with public courses.

I love this course even more than Mighty Oaks because it seems to be a touch more challenging (I haven't played Cypress yet). In any event, you can't go wrong at Palm Aire.

Only negatives are the usual pace of play. Nobody monitors pace of play (at least often enough) so bad golfers have slowed us down a few times here and they need to do something about the 19th hole. C'mon, all that square footage and all they have a sandwiches in cling-wrap?

Nice course

Course was in good shape. Greens were nice a little difficult for me to read. Enjoyed the day with my friends. Could have used a marshal to have group in front of us to pick up the pace. They were 2 holes behind group in front of them.

Good value for money

I was in Pompano Beach on vacation and wanted a place to play golf that wasn't too difficult as I hadn't played since Oct. After checking on line I thought Palm Aire Golf(Palms course) sounded like a good deal at about $45.00 for 18 holes/cart. I was paired up with two other guys that were wintering in Pompano and had a great time. The pace of play was great at 8am (3 1/2 hrs). The greens were in decent shape but a little slow. I thought the fairways were in fair condition. I would play there again if in the area.

Always a challenge

Only problem is that I am a 6,000 to 6,100 yard player, and there are no tees between 6,350 and 5,580 yards. I played the longer and had few par 4's within 2-shot reach. My choice, and the course is still at the top of my list.
