REVIEW:
GolfTest
USA had the opportunity prior to the PGA Show in January
to play several of the top courses in the Orlando area.
Last year we reviewed Osprey Ridge at Disney World, which
is one of the top courses in the country. This year, Jim
Kern, Director of Golf at Disney World (tough job but someone
has to do it) invited the GolfTest USA staff to play Disney’s
Palm golf course. How could we refuse after the great time
we had last year. There was a lot of renovation work being
done around the course as some new resort facilities were
being added. We took that into account as we made our way
around the course. Half of the holes brought water into
play but the course played very fairly as should be the
case in a predominantly tourist area. The Palms was a fun
course to play and while it can’t match the grandeur
and beauty of its sister course, Osprey Ridge, it still
is a course that will make for an enjoyable day of golf.
RATING:
GolfTest USA recommends Disney’s Palm Golf Course
as a "Quality" golf course in the Orlando, Florida
area.
