PALMIRA GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 St. John, IN, USA
Designed by Bob Lohmann




Palmira Golf Club, nestled in the rolling farmlands of St. John, Indiana, presents a satisfying test where the wind, rather than elevation changes, dictates strategy. The course, while not steeped in tournament history, possesses a quiet charm, its design reflecting a blend of Midwestern sensibility and modern architectural flourishes.
Originally conceived by a local architect, Palmira received a notable enhancement in the early 2000s, adding contours and hazards that subtly increased the challenge without sacrificing playability. Its fairways, generous in width, invite aggressive tee shots, yet the approaches to the greens demand precision, particularly when the prevailing winds kick up across the open landscape. Errant shots aren't severely punished, allowing a more forgiving round for the members who keep the course alive.
Palmira might not host professional championships, but its charm lies in the everyday camaraderie. Locals from St. John and surrounding towns relish the well manicured course, enjoying weekly games with friends, and a cold beer after a good round.
Reviews
Value play here, but a really neat layout. Elevation changes make for fun holes but hit or miss on the condition. Personally would roll the dice on heading back and hoping for conditions to be improved.
