The Palms Golf Club at Forest Lakes Tee Times

Course was in the best shape I have ever seen it. GREAT PRICE. The greens were small, but very challenge to putt and they putted fast and smooth. The greens keeper is doing a great job, and all the employees were very friendly and helpful. We will be back......

Really enjoyed my round at The Palms. The course isn’t super long, but it’s in great shape and has a fun layout that keeps you on your toes. Super friendly staff, easy pace, and just an all-around great vibe! Definitely planning to come back

Nice course, friendly people. Driving range ( I think the only one at Rotonda golf) course we played in March was in good shape and challenging for everyone. But unfortunately, if four flights are at a hole ( three wating at the tee) something is totally wrong. If you need 3 hours for 9 holes, something is totally wrong. Obviously, the management is more interested in making money, than providing a comfortable and satisfying round for the players. That's bad....

I don’t know what happened, but the fairways are all burnt out and in horrible shape. You can see in the pictures, the greens are actually in decent shape but the fairways were burnt or bare spots. Short course, good for short game practice. Currently overpriced for the condition that it is in. The pace of play on a Sunday afternoon was great, I had no one in front of me and played in 2 hours. Hopefully the grass starts growing soon, it is usually in much better shape.

Original 3 star review: Visited just before new years from Michigan and it felt great to be golfing again. The greens were the highlight of the course and were in great condition. The rest of it was a mixed bag. The fairways were patchy (immaculate in some areas, dirt in others) and the tee boxes were mediocre at best. I've used some bad rental clubs before but the bags my wife and I got were particularly bad. Piecemeal sets that badly needed regripped at the very least, ultimately should have been retired long ago. I don't want to make it sound like it was absolutely terrible because it wasn't. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and it may have just been the day or time we visited but it felt like we had the entire course to ourselves, which was great so we could take our time and enjoy the moment before we had to fly home to dig our driveway out from the blizzard and wait another five months before we could golf again. Overall, I would certainly visit again but I'll ship my clubs down next time. Edit: Well, we came down and played this course again today and brought our clubs this time. Definitely worth the money. I commented to my wife several times how much better the conditions were today than our last visit. I was honestly hesitant to play again because I distinctly remember the dirt patches in the fairway from our last visit but I figured I was going to play terribly because I just broke my finger at work 4 days ago but shockingly I actually did better than my normal bad golf game. I’m excited to go back again this week before I go home. Oh and the manager gave me sunscreen from behind the counter when this yooper left his back at the condo. Top notch friendly people and a great course for the price.
