Clever green contouring can go a long way toward amping up the intrigue of an individual hole. That's the case with the false front at The Palmer's 4th. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

The uneven edging of this bunker at The Palmer's 8th is intentional and gives it a naturalistic look. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

The Palmer's highlight hole was the par-5 18th, and now it's even more attractive. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

Over priced
These courses are over priced for the quality of play. Even with the discounts there are better courses available to Florida golfers than these.
The layout is good for all types of golfers. We were paired with long hitters and were able to be competitive due to course management.
If you are staying at the facility it is nice to walk outside and have 3 courses available.

Not worth the $$
I've played a lot of good courses but the Palmer course left much to be desired. The greens were slow and the course was worth about a $60 round.

Had the Entire course to myself.
I t was fun playing the course without seeing anyone else except a marshall once. One of the Par 3 was a complete construction mess. Greens were ok Fairways were really nice. Fun course must be accurate with irons 150 out as that were i found myself most of the time driving from the tips.

I Recommend This Course
Nice course but way over priced!!!
Played the Palmer layout. Course was in very good condition with the fairways being the best we have played this year. Over all it was a greats experience to do once but even with the GolfNow rates, not something I would do more than once a year.
