The Palmer Course

Few resort courses carry their branding as honestly as this one. Designed by Arnold Palmer and his design group, The Palmer Course at Reunion Resort is 1 of 3 distinctly authored layouts on the property — alongside courses by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson — making Reunion one of the rare destinations where you can compare the philosophical fingerprints of 3 legends across consecutive days of golf.

Palmer's design sensibility shows up in a course that rewards aggression and shot-making creativity over pure precision. Wide fairways invite you to take your medicine or go for broke, and the strategic bunkering reflects Palmer's own never-say-die playing style. Water features come into play on several holes, keeping the round engaging without tipping into punishment for its own sake.

Reunion Resort sits southwest of Orlando, where the flat Central Florida terrain gives way to subtle elevation changes and the kind of lush, manicured conditioning that resort guests expect. It's a confident, playable layout that fits comfortably alongside its more celebrated neighbors on the property.
