The Palmer Course - Deacon


9 Holes of Arnold Palmer Golf

Designer: Arnold Palmer

 

The Deacon rounds out the three 9-hole courses at the Palmer Course. This course offers a fun and fair test of golf for players of all skill levels, with sweeping doglegs, beautiful water features, and undulating greens.


The Deacon gets its name in part from Arnold Palmer’s alma mater, Wake Forest College (now University) whose mascot is the Demon Deacon. The name Deacon proves relevant to Arnold Palmer beyond his collegiate days—Palmer’s father, Milfred “Deacon” Palmer was himself a golf professional and inspired young Arnie to take up the sport at age four.
