Designed by D.J. DeVictor back in the early 80's, the Palms is best known for its 15th and 16th holes. These two brutes back to back are part of a tough five-hole finish. From the 14th hole on you have to watch out for six different water hazards which are just waiting to ruin your good round. All three courses at Rotonda are located almost an hour south of Sarasota (past Venice) near Englewood.
