short, hilly, and no gps

par 4s are too short and par 3s are too long. course conditions were excellent, but just about every fairway is slanted…too hilly. would have been nice to have gps built in to the carts. most courses have gps in the cart nowadays. played on a friday afternoon and didn’t have to wait on any holes.

Palmer at Speidel

It was a hot day and we had the course to ourselves. The online rate was a great value for this challenging and well maintained course.

Always enjoyable!

This course is not overly hard as long as you keep your ball in play. However, if you put your ball in the wrong place the course has a way of punishing you more than what you might have expected.

Not recommended

I purchased 4 tee times through Golf Now for a price of 33$ a player..18 w/cart. I arrive and show women at clubhouse and she states there is an additional tax applied for WV tax and she states there is a historic tax fee applied as well? If you get a rate applied through Golf Now I believe they should honor the rate awarded.

Disappointing

Have played Palmer multiple times over the years and usually enjoy it. However today was not the case. None of the bunkers were raked and # of greens not rolled. Almost felt like the resort cannot operate the course any longer. The half way house was open at one point but then closed mid day as we were on the back 9. In addition there was no beverage cart at all on a beautiful Friday afternoon. For $80+ Fee not worth it at this point. Ogelbay needs to decide if they can operate a quality course as they are not keeping a course designed by Arnold Palmer to the standard it should be. Very disappointing.
