2023 - out with a bang

What can be added to an already great golf course. The course is playing in its best condition. I have been fortunate to play this course for 18 years. Therefore, I can say so based upon the many experiences I have enjoyed over the years.
What was super special is that I responded well to the wonderful course conditions. It was a great feeling to play some of my best golf for a while on the last day of 2023.
The timing of playing together with the pace with which we could play was special and will always be remembered well.
The staff are always good ambassadors of the proshop and the bar. Although we arrived after the kitchen closed and managed to grab a beer from the bar and a sandwich from the proshop.
The experiences you will be fortunate to enjoy should not be delayed now that we have arrived in 2024.
Don't ask why, just when.

Another great day on the Course

As always, Palmer Gold Coast is a test for golfer, young or old, in top form or struggling with form. The course is in great condition although I noted that some fairways were wetter than expected. Not sure why.
If you have yet to experience this course don't hesitate to make a date with family and friends to play this course. You will not be disappointed.

Freshness

Green grass, clean fairways, cut greens. What a nice course the feel of every shot with your iron of the turf leaving my senses questioning if this is what the professionals feel.

Disappointed

Iv played here many of times and it just seems to get worse and worse. So many sloppy wet patches throughout fairways, bunkers are a mix between sand and small stones which made a mess of my wedge, fringes were terrible to chip from as they were really wet and soft, the 8th fairway was basically un playable and it was more a mud track rather then a golf fairway. I said last time I won’t play here again due to the course conditions VS price and I did but will not do it again unfortunately. Drop the price to $60 a round and the reviews might be better.

Pricey

Course is pricey but enjoyable. Wondering why on a Friday hardly anyone playing. Played 18 holes in 3 hours. On scorecard they offer lunch special but there isn’t one. No one in clubhouse.

An afternoon where in part the course did not win

I always enjoy Palmer Gold Coast. Since 1994, when I first played the course to more regularly since 2005. Palmer Gold Coast (formerly Robina Woods) has always been special. A true members's course wherein it is a shame that regular competitions are not played with fellow lovers of the great game.
On the afternoon in question, the only thing that got me was the pace of the greens. They were faster than my memory of the course could remember. The course is in great shape, so the poorly executed golf shots were where I lost some good scores. The back nine seemed better as I connected better with the ball.
All in all it is hard to fault a timeless course which challenges golfers of all levels. Until next time.
