Excellent Day

My husband and I played the front 9 walking today. We transformed our double stroller into a golf bag carrier (with a cooler). Day was perfect. Pace of play was great. We never felt rushed by the people behind us or annoyed at the people in front of us. Everyone was out to enjoy the sun and the golf. Thanks Ravines!

Love the course, price was great, course was very wet though, but you can't do anything about mother nature.

Another Great Palmer Course

Beautiful course. Great layout. Worth the drive.
Played after a heavy rain the night before so things were quite soggy. Didn't play as well as a result.

Workers were busy

The working crew with the cleaning of the swamps wasn’t aware that golfers were trying to make shots around/over them and wasn’t very interested in getting out of the way either! Slow playing on the back, foursome was playing very slow and not a ranger in sight

Tough and Fun course

This is an Arnold Palmer Course and it shows! The. Course is really well maintained and is tough but playable, most fairways are reasonably wide and the greens are fast and beautiful, a few bugs but not bad considering the rain they have had. Enjoy!!

Really Nice Course and Good Value

Great layout, fun design, in great shape and and nice value. I played first thing and unfortunately the grounds crew was not well trained. They were often in my line, kept their machines running, or just flat out ignored I was there. That was the only blemish on a beautiful round.
