Par 72

Length 5862 yards

Slope 118

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.

Greens were slow.

The course layout is fantastic. A few holes you need to play at least once before you have a chance to score, cool holes but you need to know have course knowledge.

The greens were pretty slow

The only reason I have a 3 stars rating instead of 4 star was that we were not allowed to drive on the fairways due to over seeding

I would highly recommend this course when we are allowed to drive in the fairways

OK

The course was over-seeded and the greens were very slow. Went there for the history of the course. For the money it was an enjoyable course to play, just don't expect pristine conditions.

Beautiful fall day of golf

They were over seeding the course, and you had to Keith carts in the rough. The greens were very thick and heavy

Overall, not a bad day to play
