The golf course at the Palmbrook Golf Club (formerly known as Palmbrook Country Club) has a reputation for being immaculately well kept. The course's greens and fairways are consistently kept in excellent condition making the course enjoyable to play. In addition to the spotless maintenance, the course at the Palmbrook Golf Club has a challenging design that incorporates water hazards in the form of a meandering brook and six lakes on the back nine. The challenging greens are fast and hard to read. There are also several bunkers that can affect play. Four sets of teeboxes provide different options.

Very nice

This was a great little course for the price. The weather was great. The overall lay out is unusual. Bunkers on the front 9 and water on the back 9. I loved it. I'm an 80's to 90's shooter. Try it, you'll like it.

Course is in good shape. Simple layout. Good sand in traps. Past members still think it's their private club don't like others playing there

Overall a decent place

Overall slow pace, waited in every shot. Fairways and greens were in pretty good shape. Lots of areas without grass if you missed the fairway. I didn’t miss but my partner did. Saw beer cart on hole 1 but then didn’t see her again. No drinking water on course.

Very disappointed

Pace of play was horrible. Fivesomes allowed and no play managers. Would not recommend. We were a foursome and waited every shot.

Palmbrook Golf Course

Course was in excellent condition considering the rain from the night before. Every time I play there I see coyotes. Really fun layout. Almost impossible to lose a golf ball at this course.

Typical Sun City course

Fairly typical of the Sun City courses…. Nothing really “bad”, but nothing really inspiring either. As with most SC courses we’ve played….
- the staff is welcoming and accommodating
- the course layout is rather boring
- pace of play, compared to course difficulty, is ridiculously slow
- law of supply and demand results in overpriced golf
- greens are generally in good shape, fairways not so much - rough is terrible

Very Average

Course layout was OK, conditions were OK, pace was just over 4 hours but after waiting on the first tee for the foursome in front of us to get on the green, we still waited on every hole to tee off. Not a great deal but reasonable. Cart was kind of wonky starting off each time also.

First Time Impressions

First time playing there from the East Valley. Tee boxes needed some TLC; fairways were fairly firm, though some sparseness in grass density. sand traps (all) were shallow in depth, making it a challenge to escape consistently; greens were uneven in pace and very bouncy (greens need to be rolled); rough was dormant grass, if any. Pace of play was OK (4:15 hours), but did finally move along on the last 5 holes. Value was reasonable (as compared with the significant price uptick that many courses deem justified around the time of the WM/Phoenix Open). Easy walking course, which I did.
