A fun and challenging course in great condition

This was my 4th visit, but the first time playing the Palm Coarse. The staff, as always was extremely attentive and friendly, and the Coarse is in top notch condition. Always a good experience here.

It was a first experience. I like the course layout and atmosphere, but the green was slow.

A goodday

We actually played the Valley Course.It is a nice course. The deep traps were a challenge for us. Also, there had been some heavy winds and the course had not been cleaned up from the debris from the trees.

Ok but not worth full price

Course has interesting design and if it were in better condition I would have stated higher. Greens were bumpy, sand was inconsistent, play was a bit slow. We went off before 2 with a 2:10
Tee time and just finished at dark. Course is worth the after 2 pm rate, but I would be disappointed if I had paid the over $200 regular rate.

Lazy golfers.

The course was in great condition especially considering all the rain last couple of days.
Very frustrated that NOBODY seems to care about repairing their ball marks on Greens. Played with 2 members and neither of them ever pulled out a tool. I fixed 2+ of the worst ball marks on every green

Nice course.

Really nice course, a little pricey. The only complaint I have is that it was a bit confusing finding the pro shop in the back of the hotel after parking.

Great course

Excellent course for a great value. I can't recall a blade of grass out of place. Had a great round with a good group of guys. A must play course in the desert.

Great course

Great course to play. Fairways and greens in good shape. Staff were friendly.
Only negatives were that bunkers surrounding the greens had very little sand and given their depth, this made for frustrating attempts the land the green from a bunker. Ened up blading a few across the green after my sand wedge bounced off the bottom on a few holes.
An on course Marshall nakung the rounds would be very beneficial here. Group in front of us were so slow, there were no groups 3 holes in front of them. Not the first time there has been slow play issues here.
