Palmer has issues that has lingered on for years, it's doesn't live up to one of the top 3 premier courses in the Villages. It can not hold a candle to Nancy Lopez or Glenview. It's time to shut it down and remove the greens and start over again. Throughout the course there are greens that show little grass mixed in the tar like soil that sticks to your golfball and isn't sandy enough for grass to produce a good root system. Just fix a ball mark and see that there is a shallow root system and the soil is compacted. Always disappointed when we get that course in our group. Just for those that wonder I always ask to not put it in our selction of courses to play.
