This is the Walmart of Country Clubs. The food is terrible, and the people are worse. They closed the golf course for a season to “ remodel “ and it’s still shabby. Don’t waste your money. There are much better places.

We played public golf courses that were better than this course in the area. Pro shop charged us 276 for 2 people. Online was 120 each and would not honor it. Total ripoff. Golf course very boring. Every hole the same. Horrible value.

We had our wedding reception at Palm Aire Country Club. It was AMAZING. The food was delicious, the service was of the highest quality, and the ballroom was beautiful. Jennifer (the Banquet Manager) was so helpful and kind throughout the entire planning process and the day-of. She does amazing in her role as coordinator. We received many compliments from our guests about the reception; everyone had a blast. I highly recommend PACC for events. Thank you PACC for a perfect and memorable wedding day.

Don’t waste your money. The greens on the Champions course are unplayable and should be marked a GUR. The bunkers have the sand super compacted. This course is in very bad shape.

Food was pretty good, they were very cautious of putting to much food out but with the price of food it is understandable. Our friend has a walker and they put her in the furthest place in the restaurant. It is a buffet and has to go across the restaurant each time she wants food. The host needs to understand handicapped people. Our server never checked on us but probably because the tip is built in. Will try a different country club for future brunch.

This facility offered homeschool golf classes for children. What started as a good experience turned into being treated extremely rude by one of staff. He yelled at myself and another family for having children walking on the sidewalk and playing with rocks. We were “disturbing the other members”. Would not allow my child near this facility! Viewers beware!

Palm Aire Golf & Country Club is absolutely beautiful! The grounds are always so well-kept, and you can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining everything. The inside of the club is gorgeous too — it has such a warm, upscale feel. The brunch on Sunday is so good, you must try it. The plants throughout the club really add to the atmosphere and make it feel fresh and inviting. The whole place just has great energy. Since Greg became the GM, you can really see the positive changes — everything runs smoothly and looks better than ever. Palm Aire is truly a special place!

Was OK I suppose. I don't do country clubs normally, but we were there for my wife's High School reunion. Nice building, and nice property....

Very good golf course and we were privileged to play it as non members. Very quiet and few players either in front or behind. Very nice greens

I've been going here for years. The food is really great, but what I didn't like at the end. Is there a service charge the end oo you're bill that they don't tell you, which doesn't go directly to the waitress itself? We asked her and she said it only goes partly to it so we can't give the full tip to the waitress. $12 was added to our bill. I wish they were honest and just added it to the regular cost of the buffet, so we wanna be as surprised!

Played the tournament here: was a nice venue and the organizer Travis was nice and helpful. On the other hand the referee Conner Veirling kicked my dad out for talking to only me when coaching WAS aloud: without a warning. This incident affected play and this kind of refereeing should NOT be aloud.
