The key to scoring well on this course is putting. The greens are in excellent shape and the ball rolls very well on them. By keeping the ball relatively in play, par is never an extremely difficult task. The par 3s are often the most difficult holes on a course, but Palm Valley's tend to play easier than average. Excluding the championship tees, there is only one par 3 that is longer than 200 yards.
Palm Valley has a large, comfortable driving range with both grass and artificial turf tee boxes.
