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.

Disappointed this time around

Played course in Feb 2021 2x and enjoyed it very much as it was in great shape and manicured. We played right around a Jr fla pga event .

This visit there was a very noticeable lapse in maintenance, tees were very shaggy, fairways long, grass in trap faces and no edging of traps. Greens in good shape but seemed smaller than ever . Price still great but mayBe we caught it just before the tournament last year and it was at its best, not so much this time.

Sand traps

The only thing I find wrong with the course was the sand traps were in need of sand. They were a bit hard and weedy.

Beautiful winter day

Great winter day for golf.

Course in great condition, but the pace was a little slow due to the volume of players.

Will definitely return for another round.

Scenic course but poor fairways conditions

Pretty course in general but thin grass in many fairways and too many waste bunkers. Sand cartpaths were very rough.

Old Course

Should be a 20-25$ course. Very old, tiny greens, better off driving on the grass and avoiding cart path (bumpy, holes). Fairways themselves were in good condition. Tee boxes 12/18 of them were meh. Almost every tee box is behind the last holes green. Tight course, not TERRIBLE, but probably won’t play it again.
