Golf Post Ian
After hurricane Ian, there were many golf courses delayed in opening. The Staff at the Palms recognized the importance of their community and worked around the clock getting the course ready to reopen. Although there was damage around the course, the clean up has been exceptional and top notch.
Course conditions
I have played here the last two weeks after the hurricane and the course looks amazing!!! Fairways are clear of debris and the greens are looking great!!! The staff is amazing as well!! Come play a great course.
Post Hurricane doing great
I played golf yesterday and I have to say staff has been working hard post hurricane to get the course cleared of downed trees and debris. When I think of the distraction this area endured just a week and a half ago, and how many courses were not open. I really appreciate how Palms staff new how important it has been to get back to some normal. They have put their heart and soul into helping us all move on, and have fun again. They treat you well. ❤️ Love the feeling I have when I play here.
Pace of play is good.
Course is in terrible condition right now. Not worth the money.
Great Staff ! Great course!
Everyone here is so nice and the course is in pretty good shape. Staff is really down to earth and very helpful!
Great morning
Had another great time golfing this morning at The Palms. Course conditions continue to improve. A great experience!
One problem with this course
I’ve been playing this course for years I like the course I like the price I like the size of it the problem has always been no matter when you make a teatime there is no starter so you can have a 10 o’clock teatime and get to the first tee box at 10 o’clock but there are two other groups already waiting to go out They just let them go whenever they want rather than saying tee off 10 minutes from now another problem is some of the groups will have five or six people summon carts and some walkers if you get behind them it’s gonna take you all day I am usually in a twosome and we play fairly fast I love the staff there I just wish rather than saying go ahead and go out to everybody they would honor the tee times and if somebody shows up for a 1020 when I am there at 10 they tell them you’re gonna have to wait 20 minutes or tell me to wait if I am 10 minutes early no problem

Golf
Course is challenging. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Pace of play was good. Grounds staff clearly working hard to improve all aspects of the course. Will definitely play again
Good Course
I play here 1-2 times a week. It is a challenging course for an average golfer. Green’s continue to improve. Staff are very nice. Good course at a reasonable price.
The course is in great condition.
The Palms has continuosly improved through the summer and gets better week by week. The greens are medium fast and rolling true. It's fun hitting off fairways with lush mowed grass. If you haven't played it recently, you owe it to yourelf to give try now.

Improving Conditions
The course continues to improve. Despite a pump failure earlier in the year, the staff have been diligent in their attempt to turn things around. Sven openly communicates about the plans moving forward and goals of the course. Always a pleasant experience.
Island driving range -- clubhouse oasis
Great management and pricing make this fun local course a frequent choice. While not one of the tour stops, The Palms at Forest Lakes here in Sarasota has variety and challenge and a proper clubhouse atmosphere to put a smile on any golfer.
Friendly Golf Course
The pace of play was very good today. The greens continue to improve. Clubhouse and grounds staff are very friendly and professional.
Big Improvements
The staff is always friendly and accommodating. There have been big improvements to green conditions since the spring as well as the rest of the course. Complete turnaround. You can not find a better deal and it's in the middle of town basically. Hidden gem
Greens look good
Greens are coming back nicely since the course's water pump went down over the summer. Staff has done a tremendous job
another great day here at the Palms
Nice day, friendly, helpful staff. Second time here in 2 days.
