Palatka Golf Club

Inexpensive but still decent tee boxes/fairways/greens.

Not the most manicured course, but for the price it’s a great value. The keep tees, fairways and greens in decent shape, but if you veer anywhere else it’s bad news.

Staff was nice and the round was cheap. Unfortunately, pace of play was poor. I counted two 5-somes and a 6-some within a few holes of me and the twosome in front of me couldn’t keep up with the 5-some that was in front of them. Greens were very slow and conditions were average at bet. Old course and old clubhouse. I don’t think I’ll head back. Again, the staff was great and most of the people I met were nice enough. But allowing slow 5 and 6 person groups on a Saturday morning is not ok.

Unlike most of the courses in my area of northeast Florida, this course has a lot of elevation changes. It also has quite narrow fairways, lined by trees and thick rough. Playing by myself, I lost two balls off the tee that were not out-of-bounds. But, I found more looking for mine. Greens were in great shape. Some T-boxes were a little beat up, but not too terrible. I was only in 1 bunker, fortunately, so I can’t say much about them. The practice putting green is right next to the Pro shop, and the driving/chipping range is up a hill past the 10th hole.

Course was in reasonable condition with one temporary green. Greens were in fair condition but had some bare spots and were bumpy and tough to make puts inside 10 ft. Generally good experience for the price

As it turned out the course suffered a lighting strike on the clubhouse and cart barn the day before we played. Upon arrival the staff, including the pro were busy putting everything back together. The teamwork and their positive attitude was remarkable as they fought through technology issues and replaced carts that were damaged by the strike. We played, enjoyed the round and left impressed by the gritty and determined attitude displayed by everyone. Can't wait to go back

Despite a lightning strike the evening prior to our visit, the staff was busy at work upon our arrival trying to ensure that golfers got to play the round they had scheduled. Technology issues did not stop the team from processing payments and getting us on the golf course. We appreciate the effort made by the staff and look forward to returning to play at the Palatka golf club again.

Played course a few months back, and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, possibly due to extreme weather lately, the green are in bad shape. Everything else was good, but virtually all of the greens were in bad shape.

Plenty gnats and mosquitoes making golf a dilemma.

Normally I love this course. Something must have happened recently to the staff or something. Greens were garbage with massive pitting, dead spots, or long weed grass. Tee boxes were the same. No starters or anyone controlling pace of play. How they could let the junior golf tour play here also is beyond me. This course needs serious help.

Love driving down from Jax to play Palatka, but was disappointed in the conditions on this trip. Greens are the worse I've ever seen them . Staff was friendly as always and it's such a fun layout, so hoping the green conditions will improve. Tee boxes and fairways were pretty rough as well, which was surprising as they normally have the course in really good shape. Hopefully it'll all come back!

Always been my "go to" course and know there's been a drought, but there was no grass on any green, fairways were barren and sandy on a hot late spring day. Not very crowded as you might guess. Sad to see such a fall.

Good hotdogs and beer in the clubhouse, though.

Great course, but greens are in rough shape right now. Great value for cost .,

Staff very friendly, pace of play excellent , greens a little spotty but very playable

A bit dry like everything else in the area right now, so a lot of brown. Great layout. Will definitely return.

Greens were in poor condition & relative to the size of the greens the flag placements were not good. The fairways were not very good either. Very disappointing… I made (and paid a booking fee) for 7:15am. It was clearly first come first served as 3 groups went off in front of us (golf course opens at 7.00am) so how can that be? We saw 2 people waiting in back of us so we offered for them to join us which they did. About mid way through the front 9 the group in back of us started hitting up on us. We were keeping pace with the group in front of us so this was totally unacceptable. No starter to organize anything. Disappointing day overall.
