Reviewed Jun 15 2021 by - rated 5 out of 5 Palmerston - Very Good
I've played many good parkland courses over the years, and the Palmerston is right up there with them.Played late afternoon on a perfect early June day so got excellent visual conditions. Conditions were excellent all around (admittedly off the back of some of the best growing weather in ages, but they'd made the most of it). Greens were a little slow by the end, as you would expect from Poa Anna grass, but run true.
The design is good. No water to content with. Plenty of well shaped and positioned bunkers, which fit sympathetically with the overall layout. All holes play in isolation from each other, and while none are stand out none are the same and all are good in of themselves. What makes the course is the landscape, which is stunning. Great changes in elevation and combinations of tight woodlands with varied mature trees and just enough open space to make you feel comfortable.
Get it on a twilight on a good day and it's well worth the money.

Reviewed Apr 22 2021 by John P - rated 4 out of 5 Lovely setting
First time I?d played this course. Lovely setting and some really interesting holes including plenty of water. The condition of the course - a few greens wasn?t what I?d expect for a top quality track. Overall, very enjoyable, wide fairways and quite forgiving at the time of my visit - so possible to score well whilst providing a test for better players.Course (layout/challlenge)

Played the Palmerston in testing conditions. Course was in good condition. Tees, fairways and rough were in well manicured condition. Greens were slightly slow but ran fairly true. Bunkers were well raked and tidy. A bit of cut grass lying about which looked a bit shabby but nonetheless a stunning course, and a fantastic layout. Challenging course.Course (layout/challlenge)

Amazing to see Brocket getting back to its best after the issues over the past couple of years clear to see that they have learnt from there mistakes.Played the Palmerston which was the best i ve seen it in years along with the Academy which was as good as it has been since i was a member as a junior many years ago.
The whole place once again looked in great condition and well looked after. Was like playing millionaires golf. Please brocket keep up the good work when this place is good there is nothing better in the area.
If i had the money i would join in an instance
