Palisades is a memorable course. Played it one time last year and I could remember almost every hole. The course is not friendly to poor players with its long forced carries and fairly tight fairways. Fairways were in good shape and the short rough easy to play from. Greens were in poor shape this year with many pock marks making it difficult to get a true roll. That all said it is a good day to be on the course.

The front nine features wide, open fairways with gentle slopes. This is excellent for walking. All the fairways and greens were well kept.
The back nine gives a completely different look at golf. There are hazards to the left and right on most of the fairways as you work your way down into a wooded valley and then back up. The greens give a much harder read. You must ride this section and know how to handle a cart on steep slopes. Have some extra balls for the out of play areas have lots of poison ivy and I would expect some creatures you do not want to meet.

Course was in great shape. Greens were fast with very subtle reads. Listed yardages did not match my GPS. Fairways had some wet spots.
