Reunion's 3rd Best course

I'd rather play Watson or Nicklaus' course than Arnie's. While I like many of the holes on the course and enjoy playing a course not completely surrounded by houses... this course left me wanting more.

I don't want to completely slam the course - great greens and well maintained fairways, bunkers and teeing grounds.

The 18th hole closing hole is a disservice to golf architecture. The fairway runs out after 250 yards.... leaving me a downhill approach to an uphill green. The 11th and 12th holes are a little bland. I enjoyed my time on the course but like the rest of Reunion a lot better.

Great Course

Great layout really enjoyed the challenge of the Palmer course. Clubhouse personnel were not personable and didn’t make me feel welcome. The Starter was very accommodating and made me feel welcome. The GPS in the golf cart kept freezing up and rendered ineffective for the round.

Very good but expected a lot better.

First the good stuff. Great greens. Excellent speed. Very consistent which I love. Amenities if your talking driving range, practice greens, drink cart? All very very good. Awesome cart woman. Super nice and attentive.
Now the rest. If you absolutely love rolling fairways and some just bad lies in the middle of the fairway, you’ll love this design. Perfectly hit drives and you end up with a 25-35 degree lie in any direction. That’s not fair in my eyes. I hit a good drive, I should be rewarded. Not penalized. Not all the fairways are this way but way too many. Always wondered why I don’t hear that Reunion Palmer is one of Orlando’s great golf courses. Now I know. I’ve played Watson but awhile ago., but I do remember liking that course a lot better than Palmer. I’ll stick with that one. Nicklaus still left to try but I hear conditions aren’t great on that one.
Last thing…..Conditions. Tee boxes. Way too chewed up for a course of this pricing. Not all but way too many. About half the fairways suggested I move my ball a bit to get out of weeds and bare spots. Again. Right in the middle of the fairway and I’m looking around for nice grass. Too many times. Rough is hit or miss at best. Bare spots.
This is considered a high end course and resort. You’d expect a high end well kept golf course. Disappointing. I’m going back to Watson next time.

Palmer Course

Palmer layout is a great resort track and playing off the backs it has a low handicap championship feel.

Condition was very good. Course architecture excellent with a great blend of longer and shorter strategic par 4’s. Good range of par 3’s with short iron target golf through to long iron play to well protected greens.

Course has some nice undulation and the putting surfaces were excellent.

Not much between the Palmer and the Watson, maybe Palmer has a longer championship feel with the Watson some shorter more quirky holes but both carry a lot of interest.

Both are really worth the green fee and and you can see why these courses feature in the florida Top 100 courses that you can play,

If you can go, you should go.

For $100 on a hot deal, this was a great value and a great course. It IS a resort course though. Open fairways and thin rough (as long as you stay reasonably close). It has it's challenges if you're in waste areas.

I can't wait to try the other two courses here.

Nice course but Watson is better

Palmer course is in great condition despite the recent holotiining. Personally too many blind shots caused by numerous mounds and undulating fairways. I prefer Watson which to me was fairer. Palmer is still a great course to play and the staff at Reunion are always awesome.

Cool course not worth the price

I’ve played all 3 reunion courses a couple times . You can only get public tee times during the summer months and it’s always 100-110 dollars . This time of year is when courses in my opinion are usually the worst conditions because of dead spots from the heat . The greens had sand on them and there was many dead spots . The thing that really bugged me is a went for my birthday and brought my wife just to ride along . They charged her a 40$ rider fee on top of already paying 110. The course was empty on a Monday and not in the best shape . Definitely not worth 150 bucks.
