Palmer Golf Course is undoubtedly one of the best courses in the Quad Cities area. It offers a challenging layout with firm, fast greens and well-maintained fairways. The second cuts are on the deeper side, adding to the challenge for players. Recently, they upgraded their carts to smart carts with GPS, which is a fantastic addition. If the course has a “Cart Path Only” rule in effect, the GPS ensures compliance by requiring you to back up and return to the designated path—a feature that certainly helps maintain the course. When using the Birdies app alongside the cart GPS, I noticed about a 2…

Really good course thats not going to over power any golfer. Greens are pretty quick, especially above the hole. Fun all around track. Only downside is the lack of restrooms on the course and mats-only driving range. The walk from 12-13 is also a big ridiculous.

Really nice course. Clean, well maintained, and super nice T-markers, however, BUSY. You might be paired up with other golfers though. The staff was very curtious. Long yardage with a few dog-legs. Not easy by all means. Clean carts. There are 3 to 4 putting courses designated strictly for putting. Driving range. Snack hut. A cooler cart came around every 15mins.. The only thing I disliked was that it was so crowded and the grill was closed.

Very nice and well kept course. I play a lot of golf in a lot of different places; Palmer Hills was top notch! Great price, pro-shop and I would definitely play this course again! 9/10. Only reason no 10, was pace of play was a little slow but nothing too crazy. Great job Palmer Hills!

Drove in from Nashville, TN and decided to give this golf course a try. I’m so glad that I did. This course was immaculate and the staff were super friendly. You cannot find courses this nice at the price range to play 18 holes with a cart in the Nashville area. Fairways were perfect and the rough added a good challenge to the course. I only wish that I lived closer to golf this every weekend. Quad Cities, you have a hidden gym here.

The two stars are for the course itself. The course was a nice track, with solid conditions, for $38 on a Saturday. However, the bad side is that the pace of play was atrocious. I know it’s public golf, but when there are six (yes, six) groups on one hole, they should probably do something about it. The best part is a course ranger drove by all of the groups on the hole, and he didn’t say nor address it at all lol. It took 45 minutes to play two holes! Again, nice course, but probably the worst pace I’ve ever dealt with unfortunately.

Been coming here since I was like 10 years old. Best public course in the QC area, and a good 19th hole spot in the Palmer grill to get food/drinks and settle up score cards

The golf course is in very good shape and the grounds crew has continued to take care of this course the past several years while finding ways to continue to improve the condition. The downside of this golf course is the pace of play is absolutely awful and the ranger does not seem to want to help regarding pace of play
