The Palmer Course - General
Designer: Arnold Palmer
The General is one of three scenic 9-hole courses at the Palmer Course. It features large, deep greens, undulating fairways, and water throughout—including an island green on the breathtaking par-5 fourth hole. Shot shaping and precision help players score low with aggressive play, while a more conservative approach is equally welcomed for a leisurely round with friends.

Yardage by Tee:
BLACK449
BLUE414

Pro Tips
The first hole is a par 4 where the ideal tee shot is down the left side of the fairway. Approach shots into this receptive green tend to play a little longer than the yardage.
#2/Hole #2
Par: 3
Handicaps:
Men’s 8 Women’s 9
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK191
BLUE176
WHITE161
GOLD146
GREEN131
Pro Tips
The green on this par 3 is fairly large and players should aim for the middle or right side. Anything missed left will leave a difficult up-and-down to make par.
#3/Hole #3
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men’s 4 Women’s 7
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK402
BLUE363
WHITE333
GOLD326
GREEN301
Pro Tips
The third is a straightaway par 4 that features one of the most difficult fairways to hit on the course. Anything missed left off the tee will be severely punished. On the uphill approach shot, players can get a little more aggressive.
#4/Hole #4
Par: 5
Handicaps:
Men’s 1 Women’s 2
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK528
BLUE504
WHITE462
GOLD430
GREEN407
Pro Tips
Favoring the right off the tee will help players avoid the water left and reach this par 5 in two. A lay-up is best played down the right to set up the best angle into the green. Anything long and left of this putting surface is not a good option.
#5/Hole #5
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men’s 3 Women’s 3
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK403
BLUE384
WHITE351
GOLD341

Pro Tips
Off the tee, players can take an aggressive line towards the two tall pines straightaway. The green on this par 4 slopes left-to-right.
#6/Hole #6
Par: 3
Handicaps:
Men’s 9 Women’s 8
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK201
BLUE189
WHITE171
GOLD166
GREEN142
Pro Tips
A large, relatively flat green awaits players on this long par 3. Balls tend to roll out here longer than players expect.
#7/Hole #7
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men’s 6 Women’s 6
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK426
BLUE401
WHITE370
GOLD362
GREEN315
Pro Tips
Favoring the right side, and not being too conservative, on this challenging par 4 will pay off in the form of a shorter approach. Most players miss short and right of this green.
#8/Hole #8
Par: 5
Handicaps:
Men’s 2 Women’s 1
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK574
BLUE543
WHITE519
GOLD511
GREEN477
Pro Tips
The eighth is a three shot par 5 where a solid drive will leave a long-iron lay-up. The approach into this narrow, but deep, green will have to navigate three-tiers sloping back-to-front.
#9/Hole #9
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men’s 5 Women’s 5
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK423
BLUE385
WHITE365
GOLD357
GREEN286
Pro Tips
The finishing hole is a par 4 where tee shots should favor the right side, which will leave a short iron in. The green is fairly large and undulated, but players can get aggressive with trying to get their ball close.
