Beautiful Layout But Slow, Slow, Slow

I wouldn't like a 5 1/2 hour round even if I was playing Pebble Beach. (well considering the ocean views at Pebble that might be a slight exaggeration)This course is a beautiful, but tough, layout with lots of elevation changes and views of Lake Minneola. The course features doglegs and a couple of forced carries. I would call the 11th par 4, the signature hole. It's only 268 yards from the forward tees but it requires most golfers to hit over a swamp to a narrow landing area then over the swamp again to the green. Great golf hole!

The slow pace of play will drive most golfers crazy. So I recommend the course to people that don't mind slow play and 5 or 6 hour rounds of golf.

Don't listen to the negative Reviews. This course is a Gem!!

I original read all of the negative reviews and decided not to go. But we got flooded out at another course, so my wife and I took a chance. What a surprise to and pleasure to play this course.

This course can be a very challenging course to play. Great elevation changes, gives an added feature to the course. Yes some of the greens needs some work. This is not a Disney course for $200 a round. This is a great locals course that looks to be improving. For the value you can not beat this course. The fairways are fine. Yes a few weeds but again, if you take a divot, it should not be a problem. My wife and I played on a extremely windy day, which gave an extra challenge. The views are nice of the lake, and the staff is very friendly. We had a full 18 booked for the afternoon, so we only did 9. We will be back to play a series of rounds to get the true value.

THIS IS A MUST PLAY!! YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED AND PLEASED

Jewel of Clermont

Palisades is a fun & interesting course- a variety of challenges await the player as one proceeds around the course. Absence of restroom facilities would be a fine addition for management to consider in the future. Greens had a few issues but not overwhelming or a major distraction- something to blame other than self for missed putts! Will definitely re-visit this course!

Disappointed

Check on was a breeze and the pro shop staff most welcoming. We booked via golf now and bought a "hot Deal" for $34 bucks for two. We were glad we did not pay any more. The tee boxes are uneven, sparsely grassed as was the fairways and greens.The course was in worse shape than last year at this time. We won't return.

Bad Fairways and Bad Greens

Golf shop stated the course was in good condition but that was a real stretch. Payed to play 18 holes and quit after nine. Had a foursome and a single jump in front of us after the 6th hole and there was no marshal on the course. The fairways were very poor and the greens were worse. Never again.

course needs work

The course has just reopened after being closed for the summer months. We have played the course before and the conditions are not nearly as good as they were in the past. The course needs work to get back to the level of nearby courses.

Bring your AAA game

As a 76 year old senior with a 15 handicap this course was too long for me from the whites. Decided to play from there because the strangers I played with were all using these tees. As I look back the gold tees may have been too much (over 6000 yds). The combination of length and hazards made it a difficult day However , I would recommend this course just to experience the unique layout and challenge.

Needs a lot of work to be decent

Shaggy rye grass fairways, slow bumpy greens. Good layout which has fallen into a poor state. Letting course sit for 6 to 7 months a year does not help. Not worth the money

This course has become terrible

In the past years, I enjoyed this course's many challenging holes.
Last year the course had deteriorated somewhat but now it is basically unplayable. The fairways are very patchy and the greens have areas with no grass at all and the grass areas are so rough that putts reacted like the plinko game on The Price is Right!

What a shame management has let this course fall into such bad shape.

Palisades

The regular price of this course is in the $30 range, the Greens are in bad shape and would have been very discouraged if we paid full price. With the greens at the condition they are in, would not recommend this course.

Fun in the country.

This is not Disney. With that said the course is a great, challenging course with character. Most of the fairways are in good to great shape with at least a noticeable 2 cut, and half with a good 3 cut. The bunkers are well placed and well kept. Now the greens, hmmmm, bad is almost too nice. They ARE working to fix them, but still worth the discount rate any day, and worth a try no matter when. The staff is friendly, the carts are nice. If you want more, pay the $80 to $150 and go to Disney. Just this man's thoughts....

big disappointment

I was extremely dissapointed with the condition of the course. Although I paid for nine holes, I only played four and quit because the course was in terrible condition. This is a shame because it used to be one of my favorites. Needless to say I will not be back.
