Fun Course

The Palmer Course is great layout and doesnt feel quite as challenging as the Watson and Nicklaus but still every bit as much fun. Some memorable holes with a drivable par 4 , reachable par 5's, and scenic par 3's.
Pro shop, range, and beverage carts were all great. Tee boxes looked to be going through a transition as the grass was longer than normal but my group had a lot of fun!

Arnolds course

My favorite of the the 3 Reunion courses its pretty narrow around the front 9 but opens up a bit on the back side. Not overly long with lots of slope around the greens. It puts a nice challenge of accuate driving and a skillful short game in order to score. Take care on this course as you can get out of position quickly. Takes a few times around this course to really understand where to hit it and where not to.

Great course! Needs restaurants open.

Had a great time! Beautiful course and great staff. Would be helpful to have at least one resort restaurant open when we finished playing at 3:30.

First class golf course

The Palmer course is a very great place to play, and the layout from all teeing areas are magnificent. I reccomend this course as a part of any golfers bucket list of courses to play.

Great Course and great staff

Living in ChampionsGate, I’ve driven by the Reunion courses so many times wishing for an opportunity to play. When I saw they were offering a few tee times on GN, I snapped one up and am I glad that I did. The Palmer course is challenging but fair. It’s in excellent condition and the greens roll nicely. The staff is very helpful, the layout of the course is beautiful and the round was near perfect.

My only hesitation in creating this review is that I don’t want to increase competition for the limited times they offer BUT fair is fair and they deserve the excellent review. I really hope they continue to offer locals an occasional chance to play.

Needswork

Palmer course in Reunion Resort was not in the best shape it seems to get a lot of play tee boxes were awful, fairways were spotty at best the greens were in desperate need of some care... the members play early and are sent out with one person in each cart. My foursome plays very fast but could not compete with the members always up our butts. It was not pleasant.. go to Kiswahili instead.... much better conditions more beautiful.....cheers.....

Reunion Palmer Course - excellent

Played first out. Staff was very supportive, friendly and respectful. The course is in impeccable condition. Greens are like carpets. The course is challenging and has lots of hilly terrain. Very enjoyable and entertaining to play. Don’t expect a low score. Just enjoy every shot!

Watson Course

For the money this course did not live up to the cost. For $175 it didn't feel worth it whatsoever. Range was beat up and starting staff was confused as to correct groups going out. Grounds crew was watering the course while we played. We had 11:40 tee time. A few holes had standing water on the greens or were soggy from the watering. Told the resort staff while on the course and no one from the golf management said a word. Played Celebration the next day and the condition of that course blew me away incomparison cafter playing Watson. I should've played Nicklaus course instead as it appeared to be in better condition tee to green than Watson. Won't play again.

Palmer is the quentisential American Parkland Design

This lovely course is a great example of American Parkland Design.
The antithesis of links golf it seeks to enhance the natural surroundings rather not then just cut through them. It is a bit “Target golf”, but really what course isn’t.
It was just aireated so putting was well off the acceptable level for a true score but a beautiful setting for a fun round of golf.

ReUnion Resort Watson Course

1:12 tee time w/ buddies. This is a typical immaculate resort course. Has spectacular views from tee boxes. Has elevation chages. Greens elevated, rolling true & fast. Expensive but had a fun round. Group Golfer offered this course for $59 so I snatched it up because only way I know of how to play ReUnion courses involves booking lodging on their premesis. At least I can say I've played it. Pro shop well stocked. Has great practice areas, range, chipping & putting greens.

nice layout but in poor condition

The golf course is good to play but the overall appearance is somewhat disappointing, it needs some tlc. Signposts were down, GPS did not work, tees, fairways and greens looked neglected and tired.
Maybe it was the time of year but no excuses for failing to maintain to a good standard. When I played last year there was quite a bit of water about the place but that has all but gone.
