It also depends on where the water comes from. The southern courses have interconnections to several retention ponds and can share water. Others, like Hacienda, have limited resources. I believe Hacienda can draw only from the retention pond near #9 on the Palms course and from the aquifer, which is limited.
Palmer also gets less play than the other courses, primarily because of the greens fee difference. Less play usually begets better conditions, especially from cart traffic.
