Speidel - Palmer

Overall course was in good shape minus fairway on #2 which needs some TLC. Staff wasn’t the friendliest. Way too busy in course. Waited on tee box on 15 holes. On course concessions closed early minus the cart girl. Having played here before I expect more from speidel. Thank goodness I got a heck of a deal.

The Palmer Course

The Palmer course remains one of my favorites in the tri-state area. The course has a unique layout with five par 5’s and 5 par 3’s. It is a challenging but fun course to play.

It is a bargain if you can find a discount but a little pricey if you pay the regular rate.
