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.

Summer burn

The course was already showing signs of getting burnt out. Tee boxes were horrible, fairways were patchy in spots and greens had patches as well. A little early in the summer to be in this shape. Luckily it was a cheap deal.

poor conditions - especially greens

staff was great and overall, my buddy and I enjoyed our time, but we both commented on the rough conditions of the course -- in particular the greens. they were very bumpy and spotty throughout the course.

What Happened to PalmBrook?

This course is normally in the best condition out compared to the majority of Sun City courses. That is no longer the case. Mud and dead patches EVERYWHERE. I was stoked to be shooting off the fairway where there was actually something to hit off of, forget about anything on that dirt patch. You like tee boxes? Well don’t come here because they don’t exist. Nothing but dirt. There were massive dead patches on the greens. To charge $50 for these conditions is a crime. STAY AWAY fellas.

Normally the course is in good shape but this time the course looked like it was being prepared for overseed. That would not have been a problem if the condition of the course was properly advertised. I was shocked to see the fairways and tee boxes in such poor condition. I normally would recommend this course to a friend but not in it's current state.

Gone wayyyyy downhill

So sorry to see this course in such terrible shape. Used to be one of the go-to value courses on the west side...consistently in good shape and decent price.
Played it today...most of the tee boxes are just flat out dead, greens are bouncy with dead patches, big dead patches in the fairways, sprinklers running while people were playing. broken ice machine...and they got the nerve to charge $65? I won't be back.

Never seen it this bad

have played Palmbrook many many times and it has always been in excellent condition. Not this time, I will forgive the fairway aeration and even the broken ice machine but the t boxes, the fairways and mostly the greens were all in horrible shape. They aerated but left most of the plugs on the fairway, the greens had spots with dead or dying grass and bounced all the way to the hole, tee boxes were a joke. Won't play again until I hear of conditions improving dramatically, regardless of price

Dusty and dry

Course was in horrible shape. Fairways were brown and it looked like that they were starting to aerate the fairways. None of this of course was mentioned at check-in. The water and ice machine outside of the clubhouse was out of order. I was also had to pay a water surcharge. Which wasn't mentioned until after I had paid. The greens were very bumpy and there were a lot of dead patches.

Solid course

I have played this course multiple times and it’s always a fun course. I played the day before as well and the greens were a little too sandy which made putting a little more challenging. Came back the next day and they were not as bad. Fairways, when I actually hit them, we’re in good condition for summer time. The clubhouse/restaurant is also great!
