Reunion’s Palmer Course delivers a rare combination in central Florida—a bold, rolling landscape and dynamic resort design by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Fairways sweep across genuine elevation change, with broad landing zones offset by deep bunkering, risk/reward options off the tee, and large Tifeagle greens that demand attention on approach and recovery. The course resists the cookie-cutter Florida style, embracing dramatic movement, variety, and challenging green sites. While playable for all skill levels, the layout stretches the field on windy days or from the tips, rewarding strategy and confident shotmaking.
