1st hand info:
Independence Green: Baskets are in, and I played all 9 holes. Not sure what happened to #3 tee sign (it was there a few months ago when I played to the marker stakes), but there are 9 Chainstars and 8
()quality tee signs. Pretty solid disc play. Other than the missing/stolen tee sign, my biggest gripe is there's no good way to get from #4 basket to #5 tee. But its a good 9 holes of golf. Watch for walkers, because the two times I've been out here, a few people were walking around the property.
Palmer Park: I just walked the entire course. Front 9 has red ChainstarPros. Back 9 has OG Chainstars. Most holes have long tees (yellow flags) and short tees (orange flags), with a few sharing a single tee.
Palmer drains like crap, and is currently more swamp than course. Several inches of water in many spots and incredibly spongy. Ground is very uneven, and ankle twisty. Reminds me of the fairways on the RIP'd Belle Isle course. course would be a fun play in summer when it dries up, probably well into fall. But in the spring, it will only be fit for ducks.
Badly needs some sort of decent tee markers and nav aids. Could be a decent course with more work and resources, but it will always have drainage issues.
Plays flat, despite the bumpy, uneven terrain. The lumpiness of the terrain makes me think pulling a cart would be a royal pain here, but in dry conditions, this could be a reasonably fun play, especially for players who like to air it out,but there are more than enough trees to keep players honest.
