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.

Enjoyable Golf

The course was in good shape, except for some of the greens had sore spots that need to ground smooth out. The back nine on this course is always fun and challenging to play.

Way to many walkers

Been playing the course for over 15 years and the worst I’ve seen it with the walkers pace. The pace was horrible. The last three or four times I played it there’s been walkers ahead of us. There was also two singles in two carts and two walkers together on a busy Sunday.

Hi Vince - Thank you for your review. Few things are more important to us than pace of play, so I'm disappointed to hear this has lately been your experience.

We're committed to making things better, and I promise we'll continue to work at it.

We hope one day you'll want to return and you'll find things have improved. We'll keep at it no matter what.
All the best
The Palmbrook Team

Really enjoyed it

Palmbrook seems to have made a lot of progress the last few months: the course looks better than I've seen in a long time and the greens roll true. The pro shop seems to care about pace of play and it showed: I played on a Sunday and still finished in just under 4 hours. Enjoyed a few beers with buddies on the patio after the round: despite being quite busy, restaurant staff was professional and friendly.

Solid Course

An enjoyable round by all of us. Greens were is great shape, fairways were fine, tee boxes and bunkers were OK. The dormant bermuda rough was pretty thin and the ground was damp but nothing unexpected. The meandering concrete creek on the back nine was dry but all of the ponds had plenty of water.Greens were moderately sloped with some subtle breaks and rolled at a moderate speed. Friendly staff including beverage cart. No ball washers on the course.

First Time Playing

As slow as molasses in January

I had high hopes of a good place to play until the round got going. Two and a half hours for the front 9 and I had enough. Player assistant on the course, but that obviously was of no help. And as seems common at Sun City courses some muppet hits through us on 2 of the first 3 holes with the old dumb as a box of rocks comment of that is 40 yards father than I ever hit it in my life. Muni-mentality sadly.

Typical Sun City Course

The course is the usual Sun City style course and conditions. A fairly flat layout with a few narrow tree corridors on the front nine and fairway side bunkering within reach off the tee. Good, straight drives should leave you in good shape on most holes. The fairways were reasonably good; the greens were all grown out and consistent. Bunkers were in decent sand conditions.

Nice course

The course is in good shape. The greens are immaculate but very fast. The lakes and stream area have a bit if a foul odor. We enjoyed the round and the staff is great.

Very good price for afternoon discount

Played after 2:22 and managed to get 18 in before 6:30 sunset. Front 9 played quite fast but the back 9 was a bit of a slog. The fairway conditions were surprisingly good for the rate to play. I’d definitely recommend

Overpriced

This is the second time I’ve played this course, and I liked it even less this time. The pace of play was absolutely terrible with too many old golfers with no golf etiquette at all. Conditions on the course were below average. The owner of this course has other courses in the area of much better value. Don’t waste your time here. The experience was not worth $81, even in January.
