We had a fantastic time! Don’t listen to that guy below four days ago, who compared it with a city course. I can’t imagine why someone would say something so negative about such a wonderful place. Every time we come down here each year our foursome loves playing here… I would say Florida Club is the best and this is really close to it and cost 20 or 30 bucks less. This course, and the Florida Club and Hammock Creek and Lost Lake are the top four. Lost Lake is pretty tight so don’t play it your first day down. Lol.

Starting to compare with Florida Club. Each year we come down gets better. Great layout. Super greens. Just feels good here. Ambience feels relaxed and upscale in a nice way.

Wide Open so good first course to get warmed up on our 4 day trip. We rolled the ball everywhere so fine. Good not great but super Value!

What can I say? It’s the beginning of February and the weather got up in into the early 50s and Wallkill opened up for us! It’s like icing on the cake! No temporary greens the greens were a bit slow but smooth and the course was in good shape, as far as the Fairways and rough. Just finished and maybe the fact that I shot even par 72 is adding to my mood! Lol just very happy they’re open and I got to play today. Super super fun play with the great guy ex cop named Chris and he took $.50 from me , but it was worth every penny. Thanks Chris and thanks Wallkill had a great great time.

I played it for the first time, and it made me surprised by all the five star reviews. I love that they’re no houses around and the holes are pretty interesting, but the tee boxes are not in very good shape… they are nice and flat, but lots of divots and bare spots. The most surprising was the Fairways… lots of the areas are very nice with lots of grass, but there are quite a few spots that are in need of more grass. I was told that it’s because there’s been so much rain down here that the water killed the grass…I mean it was fine. I just played winter rules everywhere in the fairways and in the rough. And the greens held nicely and did not have a lot of ball marks and were smooth though slow which I don’t mind. I’d rather have them slow and smooth then ridiculously fast and smooth… so all in all a good time, but not a great time. I played seven courses in four days on my trip down And I would say Fairwinds would be in the middle of the pack behind the Florida club, Lost lake, and hammock Creek. And as you can probably guess the three courses I just mentioned cost almost twice as much as Fairwinds so who knows maybe I should have Fairwinds closer to the top because of the great deal.

I played seven courses in four days and I would say Florida Club is a bit above Hammock Creek and Lost Lake. Not just the Course, but the whole feeling great bar and restaurants, nice people in the pro shop. I just have a really good system here I didn’t hurt that I shot 74 from the blues! Lol….but seriously put this one at the top of your rotation if you come down to visit and maybe play it at the beginning of your trip at the end of the trip as bookends. Lost lake is in as good of shape but it’s so much more tight there so if you haven’t been playing all winter, it’s going to be tough. Hammock Creek is just as nice layout, but not quite in as good as shape as Lost lake, and the Florida club.

Great layout, conditions, staff, food, everything. They know how to do. Always the Best.

Palm Cove was my sixth course after coming down a few days ago from New York. I’ve been playing 36 a day and I played cranes watch and lost Lake and Martin Downs, and the Florida club and hammock Creek before it. I got a $40 after 2 o’clock rate and played by myself today. And believe it or not it was one of my favorite times playing so far…. a very very unique course. If you play from the regular tees everything will be in front of you and it’ll probably seem like a basic course, but if you hit it far enough….over 200…to play from the back yellow tees, you’ll be driving through some amazing shoots that look so intimidating I had to laugh many times. Unbelievably tight… thank God I was hitting my driver solid and straight today. So Palm Cove was so unique and kind of old-school with small greens and super tight Fairways, but it also had something very special about it. And yes the greens are a little bit slower and not perfect but I putt better on slower greens. This morning I must’ve three putted four times at Hammock Creek just having my ball go 4567 feet past the hole. I shot 76 at Crane watch 74 at Lost Lake, 75 at Martin Downs 74 at the florida club and 76 at hammock Creek and these are from the blue tees. And I had 74 today at Palm Cove. My point being that Palm Cove is much shorter, but I had to work my butt off to shoot 74…. Also, the cart guy was super nice and gave me some advice about other courses. Same for the guy in the pro shop. So I think people that say Palm covers in bad shape or full of it. It’s a good solid course. Yes, I used winter rules, but the greens ran smooth and they held nicely and there weren’t a lot of ball marks…you can tell they’re trying to keep it nice. Look at the pictures I am including I dare you to play it from the yellow. It’s less than 6000 from the yellow but you’ll laugh at how tight some of the drives are through shoots in the trees! If you’re reading this, trying to think of where you should come down to play, I would say the Florida club number one hammock Creek and Lost Lake tied for number two… cranes nest and Martin Downs tied for third. Martin Downs was a sleeper …the greens rolled fine and if you play winter rules, you’ll be fine there. There’s lots of grass on the fairways and the layout is actually really really nice. That means Palm Cove is 4th place but if you wanna go play it with your buddies and maybe play a scramble off the yellow tees for fun just to hit some amazing T-Shots….It could be a great time. check out the pics.

Yes, it could be in better shape but the fairways have plenty of grass on them and we played winter rules and we’re just fine. there’s a little crabgrass here and there on the greens, but only one or two of them, and for the most part, they rolled smooth. I had a nice time and really loved the layout. I could take out the driver and bang it. I didn’t have to hit something short of the water, so it was not target like some other courses in Florida. The houses were far enough to the side with trees in between, so you didn’t really see them all that much, just a nice solid old school course to play golf where you rarely had houses on one side and Water on the other side. I would say it’s the perfect round if you’re coming down to Florida for the winter on a vacation to put maybe first on your list because the Fairways are super wide and there are some really really nice par threes where you have to carry over. Water… And the people are super nice.

This is my first round for playing four days coming down from New York and I think it was a good choice because it’s not so hard and not so tight but still a good challenge. Solid 4 stars shape not great but I’ve seen a lot lot worse. Greens had a bit of sand on them, but rolled very smooth and true. We played winter rules and everything was fine. Nice holes nice variety had a great time and the staff was wonderful. I needed to charge my phone to be able to take an Uber and I had three people looking to see if they could find a charger and then finally a kind woman in the restaurant was able to find one or else I might’ve been stranded. lol. I think it’s worth putting on the rotation if you’re coming down for three or four or five days.

Great day! Real golf with real tees and greens. No temps. We walked and had a great time! Super friendly Staff! Thanks for being Open!!

New owner is taking pride in making improvements to the course and other areas (like brand new carts). Classic Florida course with water but not too tight off the tee, so it's great for coming down from NY when a little rusty. Price so good we Played 36!
FUN DAY.

Yes, it was not as good as the Florida club, but it was a good solid choice for our last day of golf before heading back to New York. We played five days
And saved iAtlantic in National for last, because it was fairly close to Palm Beach international airport and my three buddies said it was a good choice. Nice smooth quick greens and nice layout. Yes, the highway does get a bit loud for three or four holes but that’s not unusual down here. Even the Florida club had some road noise for a few holes. Some reviews say the starter can be a pain, but he was great for us. I don’t mind a starter who wants to keep things, efficient and smooth running. Besides, I dropped my head, cover off the cart, and when I came back he gave it to me with a smile. You might want to play winter rules in the fairway, but the tees and traps and greens are in fine condition. Unfortunately, no restaurant so we could not have a quick lunch before heading to the airport, but the cart girl had some sandwiches and plenty of brewskis. All in all nice fun relaxing day to end our time in Florida. If you’re thinking of coming down here, here are a few of my suggestions: the Florida club number one not too far from there is the champions club at Summerfield. I put that up number two…I would say Atlantic national might be a hair above Palm Beach national, but they were both very fun. if you’d like to drink while you play golf, Palm Beach national is your place and the sleeper is the links at Boynton Beach. we played 36 holes in one day for $100 because the super nice Pro gave us our last nine on the house. it was a good solid municipal course and you might want to play the family course which is 3 par 4s and 6 par threes to warm up your first day down here. Before before playing the championship course there which is a solid solid course in good shape. Hit them great!
Lol… one more if you were coming down… Atlantis golf club is a sleeper…. solid solid golf course with nice people and good food.. and it cost 10 or $20 less than the others.

We had a great time And it was the best course that we played all week. The pace of play was great, but that was a double edged sword because we did feel rushed. For example, we went around in an hour and 50 on the first nine but our court said that we were seven minutes behind where we should be. And even though we played in an hour and 50 the Ranger came by on the fourth hole and told us we need to speed it up.

We came down from New York and this was our first course we played and we had a fantastic time. Starting off with Tina’s amazing egg sandwiches for breakfast and then enjoying playing 27 holes on this very unique and interesting course. Yes the fairways were not perfect but we roll the ball when we come down in the winter anyway, but the greens were fantastic super fast and true. Others said the tees are beat up, but I disagree. There’s some sand in some places, but they’re very level which is extremely important when hitting your driver, you tee the ball up anyway so it was totally fine. For the $75 for 18 and then the $33 for the final nine cannot be beat! Highly recommend! The atmosphere of the bathrooms and the pro shop and the driving range and the restaurant is like a nice private club…. we will definitely be back here next winter !!

The course was nice with great rolling greens and interesting holes. The number one thing though also was you do not hear highways nearby like some of the courses around here. You could actually hear the birds chirping. So I definitely recommend it as a nice relaxing day And the people were very kind also.

I play this course once a year traveling from New York to visit my brother who lives nearby. It’s always a very, very enjoyable trip. I always get a great deal on Golf Now…and the course is really special. You can’t beat the price and the condition and the interesting holes.
