It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that Palmer Legends is maintained to a much higher standard than the other Villages courses. Could it be that the contract that enables use of the Palmer name demands a level of conditioning that will not besmirch the Palmer name by allowing deplorable conditions that are typical at all other courses. Oh, maybe extra conditioning helps explain why Palmer costs $10+ bucks more than any other courses.
