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.

First Time Playing

First time there

Friendly staff, great price. The variety of tees made it very playable for every level of player. We are average players and found it challenging, yet still fun to play. For a more skillful player, I think the back tees would provide plenty of.challenge.

We will definitely play it again during our visit in the area.

Great Fairway’s

The fairways were perfect. Greens are much better since last time I played. They need to work on the tees .

Worth the trip to Palatka to play a Donald Ross course.

Ok

Fairways were a real nice shape some of the greens were a little rough inconsistent as far as speed. Lot of areas off the fairway and rough that were bare ground had to move the ball and get a decent line. It's an old course and the greens are small and hard and hard hard to hold the ball

Great historical course

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed playing at this course. Even during the winter months, they’ve taken care with the fairways greens and tea boxes and it’s in great condition.
