Do not visit Palmares!!I booked and paid for a tee time four four players and two buggies. On arrival I was informed that there were no buggies available. I explained that I needed the buggies as one player had an injury and could not walk the course, and was told to come back just before our tee time. Not a good preparation for a round but we got the buggies with two minutes to spare! The tees were in poor condition. The fairways were very bare in places with little or no grass coverage in areas, the bunkers were in very poor condition and had not been raked. The worst part were the greens which were in an appalling condition with bare patches, holes and obvious signs of disease. This was the most expensive course in the area and I would advise anyone thinking of playing it to go elsewhere.

Good condition

Very good condition

Fairways a bit worn in places but overall condition good with very good greens.

very good overall.

Disappointing. The fairways were very worn and damaged in places, and we decided to use preferred lies to compensate. The greens were also the worst of the courses we played in October. The course was also very slow to play and appeared to be particularly busy. Our pre-booked start time was put back 40 minutes with no prior warning. Penina was also 100 euros more expensive for four players with buggies than the other courses we played. Overall, less than satisfactory.
