The flat front nine on this course has a meandering stream that comes into play on a couple of holes. Meanwhile, the hilly back nine is picturesque because it offers a scenic view of the mountains. There are water hazards coming into play on six holes. The small greens are fast and the fairways are narrow.

Golf, What is up with that?, Jun 10, 2004

reviewer: Tiger Wood from Albany

I like to eat my greens not play on them. I found my wife swinging with my driver. So I fired him. My balls were dirty so I was cleaning them in the ball washer and I pinched myself. Ouch! Dont stick your balls in there. I was on the fairway so I grabbed my wood. A good time was had by all. But look out for the ball washer

Well kept and scenic, Apr 16, 2004

reviewer: Anonymous from Albany,NY

Very scenic golf course. Cart fees are a little steep but green fees are average. Has narrow fairways and the greens are extremely fast. I really enjoyed playing this course.

Pine Tree Golf Course
"coldinkentucky"
Well manicured, good layout, lovely setting. A good test of golf.
---J.D.M., Versailles, KY USA
Texas National Golf Club
"Texas National is a great value."
This is a great course kept in extremely good shape. It is a little far out from Houston but if you live anywhere on the north side, it's well worth the drive. It's inexpensive and not crowded, especially on weekdays. The greens are in very good shape and the course is challenging without being a killer.

Dearborn Country Club
"Better accurate than long"
Not a lot of distance required here, but you had better be accurate - both off the tee and on the approach. Beautiful setting inclduing occasional glimpses of the Ohio River; well maintained; friendly staff; beautiful clubhouse with excellent food. A real value.
---Steve Craig, Indiana
Palmetto Golf Course
"Surprisingly challenging course"
Palmetto golf course in Miami is not a championship level course. That being said, it is a good course for the mid- to high-handicapper, and when the wind is up can challenge low-handicappers as well. The course is not long or narrow, and like all Miami courses is primarily flat. However, water does come into play on 10 of the holes (although on most it's a visual nuisance only) and can easily ruin a good round. The 'signature' third hole is a good example. The water on this hole is a canal that fronts the entire green (about 10-12 yards in front of it) and makes your second shot somewhat intimidating. In fact, when the wind is up, you may have anything from a mid to a long iron in, and quite a few people play it as a par-5 and just lay up to 100 yards to avoid the thought of a 180-200 yard carry over water to a short (but wide) green. The better player will not be intimidated, but the average golfer can be. Palmetto has several holes that reward target golf, as some of the greens (such as the par 3 11th) are huge, meaning if you miss on the wrong side you could easily be left with a putt of 60-80 feet. Others, such as the short par-3 17th, feature tiny greens surrounded by bunkers. The main complaint about this course is the greens. They tend to be uneven in speed from hole to hole and day to day, and often are not very smooth. That being said, when they do run true, they can be tough, as they have numerous ridges and slopes that make for slippery par putts. Overall Palmetto is a very good value. While it doesn't compare to the elite courses in the area, for a nice day of golf, particularly for the average (mid to high handicap) golfer, this is a good pick.
