Rating 68.3
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.

Fun time!
Great value. Small greens provide a challenge, greens and traps could use some attention, but over all a fun course. Nice people, and a good price.

Beautiful January Day on the Course
Fabulous sunny weather in January. Fairways were green, but thick. Greens the same. Not very crowded.
A nice round and bargain.
