Palms is coming back!

Played the Palms last week and was really impressed with the condition of the greens and progress made after Ian and a devastating loss of the irrigation system for nearly the entire month of May. Sven and his team are making amazing progress and the greens are back to being fast, pretty smooth, and lush. They are sodding the problem areas and the sod is coming in nicely.

I challenge anyone to find a better course when looking at the complete picture of challenge, value, pace of play, friendliness of staff and comradery of players. The weekday games are the best in the county for players of all skill levels. Love, love, love the Palms at Forest Lakes!

Sneaky challenging and fast round!

Loved my round out at The Palms. Course is tight and strategically challenging and greens are small and pretty fast and challenging. Turf conditions were a little bare which adds to the challenge and we just played it as lift clean and place for the round which made it perfect. I loved that we played 18 in 3 hours while taking our time on shots and the staff was super friendly and you cannot beat the value this time of year. I would highly recommend this if you like a challenge, unique and tough layout, decent value, and are okay with just rolling the ball tee to green. Diamond in the rough here IMO

Great unique course in Sarasota

The Palms at Forest Lakes is a great local facility and tremendous value. The layout is a bit quirky but very fun, challenging and playable for players of all skill levels, and the greens are in great shape which is what matters most IMO. For the space, it is hard to picture a better course and the location is amazing, right in the center of town! Even if you are not going to play a round, the practice facilities are the best public facilities that I have found in the area with a nice short game area and solid range. The people here are very friendly and have plenty of character. I would recommend giving the Palms a shot!
