Palm Lake Golf Course

Absolutely loved this place 10+ years ago when my Dad use to bring my sister and I here to learn how to play golf. Now since PCSing to Fort Irwin when we go to visit my Dad in Pomona I love to bring my youngin here as well. I am so pleased with the upgrades and I hope to build memories here as my Dad did with us as kids.
My Dad lives closer to another Golf course, however, we prefer this one. It is quaint with friendly staff! Great pricing and excellent, easy location.

I have had the chance to go here with my son the past few weekends and it is great. You can’t beat the price and it is a fair fun course for all.

Literally my new favorite spot. Just went my first time this past Sunday and have already been back to hit a bucket of balls on the driving range during my lunch hour. Owner really wants to see the place come up and be respectable.
At first glance you will think it is a ran down golf course (which it kinda is). However, thinking where it is situated and the way that the state is in a drought the rough by the greens as well as the greens were in very good condition.
Unlimited golf as long as you pay for your first round which I believe was around $ 7. He also has this «Cosmic Golf» thing at night that he has done which sounds really cool.
Awesome place.

I’ve been playing this course every Sunday morning for a couple months. Blah, blah, blah everyone knows it was shutdown for awhile and the whole story. Look, for $ 10 play all you want… quite possibly the best deal anywhere. The greens are very nice. Hit a warm up bucket for a buck and play all day. I played 4 rounds last time. 4 ROUNDS!
The owner is nice, knowledgable and can hit the pin like a pro. This place should really be a gem in the very near future. Take advantage while you can. I tried playing another similar course and I ended up waiting an hour to tee off. AN HOUR! There’s minimal wait time here.
Perfect place to get your golf fix and practice your short to mid irons.

I love this place but I hate to see it go, I recently golfed here & before that … It had been about a year and a half I’d say. The course was much better then, now, some greens are filled with sand and makes it hard to putt. The fairways are in the worst shape I’ve seen them with trash from the trees almost everywhere. I hope they fix this place.

I play here every Tue and Thur morning. The grass is mowed. The greens have been aeriated and rolled and are growing. This is a great place to practice your short game. The price is right and not crowded.

I really have to wonder if the previous two reviews are written by people that work there. This course is beyond terrible. The tees are worn out mats, the fairways are mostly burned out grass with lots of dirt in between, the greens are lumpy, the clubhouse (office) looks like a storage room and the driving range is a large field of dirt. Even though the prices are good, it is not worth the frustration of playing the course.

Considering that this course was shut down for a while & it’s currently under new management, this place shows explosive potential. They’re obviously working on a shoestring budget and with minimal equipment, but hey that’s the nature of small business.
I think the new owner has good intensions. So in the mean time I going keep taking advantage of the cheap greens fees. Where else can you play «unlimited» numbers of rounds of golf for less than 10 bucks? Or where else can you get an «unlimited» bucket of driving range balls for less than 10 buck?
Sure the the greens still need some work, but they’re getting better. After all, this is a great place for practice rounds or just sharpening your skills. I don’t merely see this place for what it is, but for what it’s becoming.

The reason that this course gets 5 stars from me is because I like the direction it is going. The course was shut down for 2 months and in the 8 weeks the course became way out of control. I met the new owner and his hard work is paying off. The course has dramatically became better than it was. It takes a lot of work to get a course to tip top shape. They’re having a community day on the 28^th of June so you can partake in making this course great. Bring a shovel and other tools so you too can help. Also they changed their number I will add it as soon as I get it.

So I went there today and the corse was terrible. But hopefully it gets improved within the months.

this place has so much potential. The care taker sucks the green are lumpy, not taken care. Need to clean up and mowe the place.

9 hole course, hitting off mats, greens are lumpy, not divot riddled, actually lumpy, which is weird because practice putting area green looked normal
$ 8 seemed like a steal but i admit that the allure is not economic. It’s just a cool little place, where you can get a golf fix in about an hour total any time of day. Seems an great place to start the kids (perhaps not ones being groomed for LPGA)

First time I’ve been back in almost two years. It’s still $ 8 and it’s still run down. The course was in better overall condition (fewer brown spots everywhere and the greens were cleaned up), but not enough to bump up my initial 2.5 star rating. Speaking of bumped up, that’s the perfect description for the greens. I was pretty disappointed because they looked so much cleaner than before. I understand that lots of rounds are played here and that not everybody understands the proper etiquette for fixing ball marks on the greens, but it’s ridiculous at Palm Lake. Forget about reading the greens and just accept the fact that every putt you take will have a pop-​up or two.
I’ll end this review as I did with my initial response: with some TLC, this little course could be a great place to practice your short game. As it stands, though, Palm Lake is a barely acceptable place to satisfy your golf cravings.

You get what u pay for. $ 8 per round is reasonable. I play here 1 – 2 times per week and always enjoy myself. Great for bringing beginners, or just messing around with friends too!

I enjoy this little golf course. Friendly, cheap, and somewhat well manicured. Even if I am short on time I can grab a small bucket and get in and out with a cold beer in less than 30 minutes. If your looking for a clean, and fun little executive course this is a great place. The night lighting I find to be sub-​par but everything else is good.

I’ve been playing here for the last 6 years and I love it. About 6 months ago the coarse went under new management and it has been getting better and better since. $ 10 for the first round and $ 5 for the replay. Greens are in great condition and the staff is very friendly. There is never a wait and you can knock out 18 in less than 3 hours. This is a hidden treasure when it comes to pitch and putts.

I’d give it 3 stars for the night lighting. For how hot it gets here in Southern California, it’s neat to have a golf course that is open later and lit at night. We brought our kids here to practice and it was only $ 5 for the kids. But, be careful, the fairways are very close to each other and because of the shortness of the course, some of the players aren’t so experienced. Need to stay behind the gates to stay safe.
The greens were horrible when we came out, very thick, very bumpy and very slow. Frustrating for our junior players as the greens didn’t reflect what they should be practicing.
Also, some of the fairways run along very, very steep hillsides. The bad part of that is even if you land dead center in the middle of the fairway, the ball will still roll to an adjacent fairway. For a short course & a good player who can reach the 140 yards to the green, this isn’t a problem but for my 5 year old who’s hitting straight, 80 – 90 yards, this shot didn’t work for her no matter where she hit the ball.

This is the crappiest golf course I’ve ever been to, if you can even call it one. However, it gets an extra star because of its accessibility. They’ve got lights for night golfing and at $ 8 on a weekday, I’m not complaining. Your green fee even entitles you to play the 9 holes twice. I’ve been there three times and have never felt compelled to finish up the «back 9».
If you want to practice your irons in horrible conditions, this is the place to visit.

Very good price, but you get what you pay for. For under 10 bucks you can play this hills short par 3, 9 hole course. I guess it is pretty good for what you are paying for, but why not shell out a couple more bucks and play on something nicer and without all the noise from the 71 highway. It’s ok if you are close by, but not worth a special trip if something is closer to you.
