Palmer

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is the Palmer course for an average golfer?

Palmer courses are known for their strategic demands, and this one is no exception. You'll find yourself needing to think through every shot, especially around the greens and the well-placed bunkers. It's a fair test of your game, so come prepared to strategize.

What's the standout feature or signature hole at Palmer?

We always look forward to the back nine, particularly the stretch around holes 14-16, where water comes into play dramatically. The par-3 15th, with its island-like green, is a real showstopper and demands precision. It's a true test of nerve and accuracy.

When is the best time of year to play Palmer to avoid crowds and get the best conditions?

We recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons - late spring or early fall - to experience the course at its pristine best without peak summer or winter crowds. The weather is usually ideal for golf, and you'll enjoy a more relaxed pace of play. You'll find the course beautifully maintained during these times.

Is playing Palmer worth the green fee, and what should I expect for the cost?

Absolutely, it's a premium experience, and the green fees reflect the exceptional conditioning and design. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course, top-tier service, and a truly memorable round that lives up to the Palmer legacy. Expect to invest a bit more, but it's money well spent for the quality.

What's your top practical tip for someone playing Palmer for the first time?

Our biggest tip is to book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend or prime season slot. Also, take advantage of the practice facilities - the range and putting greens are excellent and will help you dial in your short game before tackling the course. Don't underestimate the importance of a good warm-up here.
