The Palms golf course has undergone an $8.8 million reconstruction in recent years and was redesigned by renowned golf course architect Ross Watson.

The River Course, bordering the majestic Tweed River, features tree-lined fairways and holes carved through subtropical rainforest, offering a diverse and picturesque golfing experience. Notably, the 13th hole is a 314-meter par-4 that requires precision off the tee through a narrow, tree-lined chute, followed by an approach to an elevated, narrow green with significant run-offs.
The West Course presents a slightly longer and more challenging layout, with tight fairways and strategic bunkering. Recent upgrades to its greens and bunkers have enhanced its playability and aesthetics.
The course features generous fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and water hazards on several holes, providing a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. Notable holes include the par-3 17th, aptly named "The Beach," which boasts the longest bunker in the Southern Hemisphere, and the par-3 7th, "Sawgrass," inspired by the iconic 17th at TPC Sawgrass.
