The front nine of the course meanders alongside Crystal Lake, with water hazards on six of the first seven holes. With ample fairway landing areas, golfers are encouraged to maintain control over their shots, as inaccurate swings are often met with strategically placed bunkers or water. The first three holes prove particularly demanding, as anything hit off the tee to the right is likely to end up in the water.

As players progress to the back nine, the course shifts into a more mountainous and forested landscape, demanding precise short iron play to secure a good score. Featuring downhill shots and undulating lies, the back nine challenges golfers with its unique elevation changes and stunning views. The 15th hole, a standout par-3, offers a 100-foot elevation drop, requiring careful club selection and skillful navigation of the water-guarded green.

Loch Palm’s colonial-style clubhouse features modernized amenities such as a restaurant, locker rooms, and a well-stocked Pro Shop. Adjacent to the clubhouse, guests can find a practice chipping and putting green, as well as an aqua driving range. The clubhouse, which overlooks the first fairway, Crystal Lake, and the surrounding mountains, is a comfortable and scenic spot to relax and enjoy refreshments after a round of golf.
