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.

Golfer Reviews
Good value
Good value for the price. Small greens in good condition, rough is kind of weedy. Good target golf.
Awesome place
I have only played 8 or so courses in the area and I can say with confidence that this is the nicest course I’ve played so far. A lot of different layouts through the 18 holes and every one of the greens and fairways were in great condition.
Need a little love
The tee boxes could use some TLC. Greens in pretty good condition. Pete Dys postage style greens
Nice course. Postage stamp greens. Pete Dye, you should expect. Overall in decent condition with a few exceptions.
A shame
Course was in horrible condition!!greens were terrible fairways looked like they haven't been cut an the list goes on. It looks like neglect to me..Always loved playing here but won't be back until they get it figured out.
Waste of money
The course is in poor shape. One of the worst golf courses I have played. The were air rating never told at desk and had greens in middle of fairway. DONT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY
OMG the greens!
Love the layout. Played it last in December and it was in good shape, but it was quite rough today.
The greens were a mess with many sand patches and they were extremely slow. Some were half sodded and we were asked not to walk on or play on the new sod. (At least they are trying).
The fairways were kind of sparse in places, and we played lift clean and place to combat that.
Traps in good shape, and it was a fun round none the less, but those greens - so many three putts with first putts stopping 5-8 feet short after blasting it. And if your ball approached the hole with just enough pace to go in, it would often veer off in the last few inches and miss.
Average Course
Greens were in rough shape. Tee boxes were not mowed very well and some were had weed coverage. Overall the course is nice to play. Challenging and straightforward at the same time.
Great Layout. Course maintenance is poor.
I think the course layout is great. However the course maintenance outside the fairways is horrible. The greens were in bad shape. I hope they can improve the course maintenance to give the course a respect it derserves.
Terrible
Please advise patrons when check in. That conditions are not good . The entire course had issues !
dog track
this was the worst course contains i have ever played the green were horrible and nobody had the decency to tell you when you payed how poorly the conditions were.NEVER AGAIN! Don't play here
Too bad
I am a fan of Donald Ross designed courses but the condition of the course was unfortunate. Great layout but the ancillary bunkers were in poor condition and the greens in rough shape. Enjoyed the round as the layout and shot challenges are still awesome.
Will be very nice in 2 months
They had just punch greens and sand. Lot of course is needing big maintenance effort, but you can see this is just starting. People were very friendly. Course is nice design with narrow tee shots required.
