Palm Valley Golf Club: Courses and Dining Information
The current, verified facts about Palm Valley Golf Club in Goodyear: the North, South, and West nines, public daily-fee access, the operator, and the on-site restaurant, with the legacy course count corrected and nothing ranked.

The direct answer
Palm Valley Golf Club in Goodyear is a public, daily-fee facility currently described by its operator as 27 holes made up of three 9-hole courses, the North, South, and West nines, combinable into 18-hole layouts. It is operated by Arcis Golf, and its on-site restaurant is The Fairway Grille. The older claim of three full 18-hole courses is a legacy description; the current framing is three nines.
Key takeaways
- Palm Valley Golf Club in Goodyear currently offers 27 holes as three 9-hole courses, the North, South, and West nines, designed by Arthur Hills and opened in the early 1990s. The three nines can be combined into three different 18-hole layouts.
- The legacy description of the club as having three full courses needs updating: the current operator describes three nines rather than three separate 18-hole courses. The distinction between a nine and a course is small in print and significant on the tee sheet, so this guide reports the current framing.
- The club is public and daily-fee, operated by Arcis Golf. Public access and pay-per-round play are the relevant facts for most Goodyear residents, and no membership or residency requirement is implied by the current operator materials.
- The on-site dining venue is The Fairway Grille, described as serving American fare with a full bar and patio seating overlooking the course, open daily from the morning. Menus, hours, and formats change, so confirm with the club before planning around them.
- This guide makes no rankings of the courses, claims no invented visits, and reports no memberships or endorsements. Course layouts, conditions, fees, and dining details all need current confirmation with the operator.
What is the current layout: courses, nines, or both?
The current operator's materials describe Palm Valley as a 27-hole club arranged as three 9-hole courses: the North, South, and West nines, designed by Arthur Hills and opened in the early 1990s. The nines are combinable, so a round can pair different nines into 18 holes depending on the club's booking setup at any given time.
The difference between a nine and a course is not cosmetic. Calling the club a three-course facility overstates the layout, and calling it a single nine understates it. The accurate phrasing, three 9-hole nines under one club, is what the source materials support, and it is what this guide uses.
North nine
One of the three 9-hole layouts at Palm Valley, part of the 27-hole facility. Current conditions, tees, and routing details come from the club's own pages.
South nine
A second 9-hole layout at the club, combinable with the other nines into 18-hole rounds as the club's booking allows.
West nine
The third 9-hole layout, completing the 27-hole picture. Pairing options and daily play windows are set by the operator.
Who operates the club, and how does access work?
Palm Valley Golf Club is a public facility operated by Arcis Golf, a large golf management company. Public access with paid rounds and tee-time booking through the operator is the standard arrangement, and the club's pages describe the daily-fee model for public play.
Whether the club also offers memberships or play programs is a matter for its current sales materials; this guide reports the public-access baseline and makes no membership claim. Booking, rates, and availability change with the season, overseeding schedules, and special events, so the tee sheet, not a website snapshot, is the current source.
What is the on-site dining experience?
The club's restaurant is The Fairway Grille, described as serving American-style fare with a full bar and patio seating that overlooks the course, open daily starting in the morning. The balance of breakfast and lunch service, the menu rotation, and the hours are the club's current operational details, and they change with staffing and the season.
This guide describes the venue as the operator does and makes no claim about specific dishes, prices, or chef reputations. The honest dining guidance for any golf-adjacent restaurant is the same: call ahead and confirm the day's hours before building a plan around it.
What should you verify before you play or dine?
Tee times and fees
Book through the operator and confirm current green fees, cart fees, and any season or overseeding restrictions.
Dining hours
Confirm The Fairway Grille's current hours and menu with the club before planning a visit around it.
Course conditions
Ask the pro shop about current conditions, nine- and 18-hole availability, and any maintenance closures on the day you plan to play.
Frequently asked questions
Does Palm Valley Golf Club really have three courses?
The current operator describes 27 holes arranged as three 9-hole courses, the North, South, and West nines, which can be combined into 18-hole layouts. The older phrasing of three full courses is a legacy description, and this guide keeps the current framing: three nines, not three separate 18-hole courses.
Can anyone play, or is it members only?
Palm Valley is a public, daily-fee club run by Arcis Golf, so the normal path is public play with paid rounds and tee-time booking through the operator. Any membership programs, play requirements, or fees the club offers are the club's own terms and can be confirmed directly with it.
What is the restaurant on site?
The on-site dining venue is The Fairway Grille, described as American-style dining with a full bar and outdoor patio seating that overlooks the course, open daily beginning in the morning. Menus, hours, and offerings change with the seasons; call the club for today's details.
Why does this article not rank the courses?
Because rankings require sustained comparison and personal judgment, and because no one at Clearly Sold claims the expertise of the courses' own players. The useful facts, layouts, access, and dining, are verifiable; opinions about which hole is best are best left to the people playing them.
Sources and dates
Course names and count, the nine-versus-course framing, the operator, public daily-fee access, and The Fairway Grille details verified October 7, 2026 against Arcis Golf's current Palm Valley Golf Club pages and golf-directory listings. Fees, conditions, hours, and availability change and must be confirmed with the club; the legacy three-course claim is identified as such and not repeated as fact. The operator's materials describe three nines under one 27-hole club, and this guide reports exactly that.
