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 .

First time

The overall course layout was fun and makes you place a shot or two to stay out of trouble. The greens were inconsistent on speed and made it tough to get a feel. Tee boxes were over grown and weedy. We played with a local who said they were working on the course so it will be interesting to see what they can do to improve and how much the raise the rates with it.

Terrible conditions

Unfortunately after booking on GolfNow and being charged a total of $73 per person, we arrived to find the course having punched greens and lots of sand on the green. The course was charging $40 a round, so far less than GolfNow.

Pace of play was very slow, with the group in front of us running riot on the course, playing without shirts on, spending 10 minutes chatting on the green. No marshal in sight.

Not the best experience

Wet but ok

Started raining right before we were to tee off. Got of pretty much on time. Greens good and fast. Rollled true. Fairways and tees spotty but ok. Layout is interesting. You can see what happens when trees grow up. Some interesting sight lines. Fun on to play. Would play again

Do Not Play at this Place

I have played all over the country and around the world. I was so excited and looking forward to seeing the course based on the pictures and the fact that was in Florida. I’ve never been so disappointed in my life. I know that at times the greens or the courses are not up to par to play but in this case the entire course was a mess. Weeds, bald spots, brown spots were about 96% of the course. The price did not reflect the accommodations. It cost me $56 to play in a $15 course. It was awful. The course itself was way below average. Do not play at this place. I would not recommend it to my worse enemy.

Make Sure You Pass

40 years of playing golf might be the worst condition golf course ever played. For $65 bucks, take your money elsewhere. The round also took almost five hours and wasn’t that crowded. Hopefully they get new management or turn this into a park.

Not bad

Not a bad course to play. Greens were very nice. Have to hunt to find grass in fairways. Tees a little rough, too.

Overpriced

Thin to no grass on some fairways. Felt like a $40 golf course and paid $94.

Needs Some Tender Living Care

One can only imagine the course conditions during the summer. During the winter season hardly much grass to be found on the fairways and tee boxes in poor condition. Most of the greens are okay but still some rough spots throughout.

Time for an upgrade

Tee Boxes were solid, fairways fine and greens just alright.

But the on course amenities were really run down. Couldn't find any ball washers or water jugs. A lot of dilapidated structures that serve no purpose and make it look outdated and dumpy.

The mens locker-room was a dumb.

No way was this a $65 dollar round. They need to invest
