Palatka Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Neighbor to the beautiful Ravine State Gardens, Palatka Golf Club offers a game that is as scenic as it is entertaining. Designed by Donald Ross in 1925, the golf course was created with all skill levels of golfers in mind. The layout is player friendly, but there are still many challenging elements to keep golfers on their toes, including Ross' signature "turtleback" greens. There are also numerous bunkers fiercely guarding the greens. The signature hole of the course is the par-3 third. This 188-yard hole is a test of accuracy, requiring a difficult tee shot to a well bunkered green. Palatka Golf Club also offers a unique aqua driving range for golfers to use.

Palatka course review
Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in terrible conditions. Royal St Augustine at its worst is way bettter than Palatka. I don’t know how this course gets 4 star rating. It is barely 2 stars currently. Maybe it’s just the time of year but condition is terrible everywhere. Course has interesting layout and had only 2 or 3 holes where water comes into play.
Needs lots of work
Friendly people, nice clubhouse, decent layout, terrible condition. Fairways either gone or sketchy. It could be a good course if they get it in shape.
Lack of rain/water affects the condition of the course.
The course is suffering from lack of water through no fault of the course. Due to conditions, we are all in a water ban and the course shows it. If Mother Nature cooperates, the course should green up and fill in once we can irrigate again.
Fabulous Spring Golf Day
Great weather day for golf. The fairways were ion good condition, some greens and tees were ok and some weren't. Overall, a good deal and course to play.
Nice course for the value
Nice course for the value this time of year. Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes were good. Some thin spots in some rough, but not bad. Some greens had some spots that haven't fully grown back in yet, but rolled pretty true.
Great course
Palatka is my go to course when I am visiting for seven weeks every winter. The fairways are great since they use rye overseed. The greens are OK considering the winter conditions. The surrounds around the greens leave a little bit to be desired. Quite a few weeds in Sandy spots I can forgive a lot however since it’s a great track, the grandfather Oaks all over the course are quite wonderful. I play this course more than any other course and it’s not even close. Try it and you’ll find out how much you like it. It’s just a great value and time.
Greens are failing!
The course layout is fair and not overly complicated. The surrounds and greens are in especially bad condition! Disease has hit and they may lose over half
Their greens. I will not go back until the greens are healthy and they are not so unreceptive to any kinds of approach shots, nearly all attempts to get close tonthe hole you jeopardize it running off and there are bunkers around every green quite unfair. Don’t anticipate I will go back.
Donald Ross makes small greens
I had read about this course and decide on a trip to Jacksonville to go play it. It was great. The pro was really cool. Ran into what I am guessing was a men’s club member and he gave me his tips for where not to hit the ball. The people were are extremely nice. The course was a bit dry but over all a fun track. Green are small so accuracy was a premium to score. I will play this course every time I am in the area. For them hopefully it rains more soon.
Course is in pretty good conditions
We played our 6th game around here
And that was our best one
Fairways are green
Bunkers have sand
Couple of greens patch with sand
We had a great day of golf
Enjoyable Round
Excellent condition, nice layout and very reasonable rates.
