Nice 27 hole layout, friendly staff, easy pace of play. Would play again.
Good day
We have not played this coarse in a few seasons and it was fine. It’s a little far for us from home but will be back when price is right thru golfnow
A one time great course
For this time of year we probably paid a fair price for this course. The greens are fair to poor. Hardly any bare spots but not very lush either.
. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE
Absolute dump, World War 1 battlefields are better than the fairways and ive seen less potmarks on a spotty teenagers face than the greens
Fire your greens keeper
I normally play the PBC courses Osprey , Park Ridge, Okeeheelee and love their smooth quick greens . The moment I dropped a ball on the practice green at Grand Palms my 20 ft downhill putt stopped 8 feet short of the hole! Ok Hopefully they just didn’t cut the practice green .. No luck The greens are an embarrassment. Large dead spots also indicate something is very wrong here . Too bad because it’s a nice track otherwise.
OK for the price
The layout of this course is decent and challenging. Most holes are somewhat narrow with water on at least one side or to go over. The grass in the fairways was mostly OK and greener than some other courses we’ve played. The greens were very slow and in average shape. Quite a bit of quack type grass in the rough areas.
One and Done!
No golf attendants upon arrival. 11am tee time, first six greens were uncut, very fuzzy and slow. Several greens and tee boxes in poor condition. 1970's facility that needs significant TLC. Had fun but this course is a one & done for me and my golf buddies! More like a $40 course.
Poor Greeens
Greens were the worst I have played...slow and lacked proper grass coverage...putting through mud.
Underwhelming!
1970's course and amenities that could use an investment!
At a resort course you expect for golf course workers to great you at the bag drop and load you onto carts...we had to carry our bags to the starters booth.
Many greens have fungus albeit being addressed. We had an 11am tee time and first 6 holes had uncut, furry greens. Slow greens.
Fairways were decent. Rough was typical for a public, Florida course.
Overall, better than being in the office but an underwhelming experience and more like a $40-$50 course!
