Slow and poo conditions

This course was way overpriced for the quality. The fairways were messy and their were balls everywhere from other holes. The pace of play was very slow. Waited on every hole on the back nine. 4.5 hours is too long for a simple layout.

Perfect for medium players 12-25 handicap

Loved everything but the traps - no real sand mostly gravel or muddy! Pines better than Palms!

Needs TLC

The course is a long established course. It is need of TLC with the fairways and most tee boxes. Still a decent course.

Maintenance?

The first issue was that the person who took my clubs to the cart lost my (expensive) putter cover. Then the fairways were poorly maintained, and in some cases diseased.
Greens were okay, but where's the sand. DIRT!!
To make matters worse, no one turned in my putter cover. A gentleman's game??

Ok course … greens fees high, rental clubs sub par.

Course was in decent condition. Pace of play was >4hrs for 18. Slow for not being that busy. Club House and Proshop above average. Friendly staff, sub par rental clubs comparatively to greens fees. Wouldn’t pay more than $100 to play again. Many other options in the area.

Very Disappointing

Not worth the money not matter how much you pay. Take your life in your hands on the first tee as no fencing between that and the driving range. Restrooms on the course were dirty and run down.

They stopped trying.

It looks like the ownership has stopped trying. The fairways and greens were fine, but the grass off the fairways was terrible. More weeds than grass The bunkers sand was closer to concrete.

Way overpriced for what you get!

We played the Palm course. The staff in the pro shop were not friendly and other players were discussing it as well. On hole 2 as I was teeing off from the red Tees a ball from the driving range just missed me. The website brags about the course but honestly we played nicer courses for 1/2 the price.
The starter was very friendly. We were paired up with a very nice young couple which made the round enjoyable! It appears as this course is more geared for tournament play with little effort into upkeep of the course.
