Played the Palm course today and the parking was packed considering it’s warm and September 11 and all and I was hoping there were no tournaments going on. When I checked in they said they are running 15 minutes behind so I hit a few balls and waited about 20 minutes and off we went. We teed off at 11:10 and the weather was around 105 and was paired with 2 guys from Dallas named Larry and Jeff and a snow bird from Canada named Kevin. The 2 from Dallas played the white tees while Kevin and I played the blues. The guys were all very nice but playing in the heat was never a problem for me but as I get older I have noticed I start to get tired and maybe it was because I teed off so late in the day. Who knows? Anyways, on to the course. For summer conditions I is in great shape, tee boxes are all level and nice as well as the fairways. Bunkers had good sand coverage and easy to hit from, although they are steeper than I remember. Greens rolled true like most resort courses not fast or slow and even though it was warm and crowded pop was good 4:15 saw cart girl multiple times. The other course is the Valley which is closed until October. Course is in great shape right now and I like playing this course. Definitely recommended.
