Palmer Colonial Golf Course

3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 1992

Palmer Colonial (formerly known as Paradise Springs Golf Course): this tract of former dairy farm, characterised by open grassland and bush, was transformed into a beautifully groomed championship golf course in the early-1990s.

The 6,424 metre parkland layout now meanders its way through 39 hectares of towering eucalyptus, picturesque lakes and serene waterways. Akin to a Japanese garden, flowering native and exotic trees and plants abound, while ornate bridges cross watercourses in which lilies jostle for space.

This generally well-regarded layout includes several attractive holes and features. The tree-lined and open parkland layout will test most facets of your game, and should provide a round with plenty of enjoyable golfing challenges.
