Map & Location
The Palmer
Where The Palmer sits inside Piper Glen — streets, gate access, drive times, and what surrounds it.
Orientation
Locating The Palmer on the Piper Glen map.
The Palmer is Piper Glen's marquee address — the residences sited directly on Arnold Palmer's 1988 routing. Its homes face the fairways rather than the street, which produces the community's most protected long views and its shortest walk to the TPC clubhouse. It is the section most often cited when Piper Glen is compared to other TPC-network communities in the Southeast.
Streets & lots
Lots range from about 0.7 to 1.4 acres, with rear elevations oriented toward the fairways. The most sought-after homesites sit on the outside of course doglegs, giving them protected sight lines and the widest fairway frontage. A handful of homes overlook greens and tee complexes rather than fairways — these carry a premium.
Getting around
The Palmer sits closest to the clubhouse; residents routinely walk or take a golf cart to dinner or practice. The neighborhood's daily traffic uses the community's central gate. Ballantyne shopping and I-485 are both within a ten-minute drive.
How this location compares
The Palmer trades acreage and interior privacy for course frontage. Buyers comparing it to Piper Glen Estates or Glen Oaks are weighing whether a fairway view is worth a smaller, more exposed rear yard.
