Palmer South
The Palmer South course is designed primarily as an inland links course, combining a variety of interesting landscapes with dune-style mounding and dramatic rock features throughout. This is an authentic championship golf course with a multitude of cleverly elevated vantage points for spectators to view golf pros at play.
Palmer South has hosted some of golf’s most exciting moments, from the excitement of the 2004 Smurfit European Open when Retief Goosen went on to win just two weeks after taking his second US Open title, to the closing stages of the 2007 Smurfit European Open, when Colin Montgomerie finally ended his 18-month drought without a trophy and somehow stayed out of the water on the 18th to win the 2007 European Open by just one shot. Magical moments are created and forever remembered on Palmer South.
