Palmira Golf & Country Club

About Palmira Golf & Country Club

This public track in St. John delivers solid, straightforward golf without any pretense or gimmicks. The layout takes advantage of Northwest Indiana's rolling terrain, offering enough elevation changes and natural features to keep things interesting without overwhelming recreational players. What sets Palmira apart from other municipal courses in the Chicago suburbs is its walker-friendly design and genuine commitment to accessibility – you can actually walk the course comfortably, which is increasingly rare at public facilities that prioritize cart revenue. The 4.1 Google rating from over 260 reviews tells the real story here: consistent conditions, fair pricing, and a layout that rewards good shots without punishing average golfers into submission. It's the kind of course that local players return to week after week because it provides honest golf in a pleasant setting. Don't expect championship-level conditioning or dramatic scenery, but if you want a reliable round at a reasonable price with the option to walk, Palmira fills that niche better than most public courses in the region.
