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.

wet
It was pouring down rain and they would not close the course. There was only one foursome on the entire course during our entire round. They must have also booked through Golfnow and unable to get their money back unless the course was closed. Very unfriendly policy by Golfnow. I will never book through Golfnow again.
Nice surprise!
I was paired with another golf now player. We shared the same amount of ability. He "guided" me through the course as he'd played it previously. Had a great time playing a hundred years old course. Fair but strict if you have par mind. Will be playing it again, soon.
Better than expected
Whenever our friends from South Carolina come to Florida they want to play this course. He is a greens man at TPC Myrtle Beach. He said they over seeded the fairways with rye and hopes that when it dies off as it gets warmer the conditions don’t go downhill.
Great Shape
I’ve been visiting Palatka off and on for a few years now, apart from some minor details the course conditions were in great shape and as always friendly staff.
Lush
The course was as lush as I have seen it in a long time. I stopped playing here a while ago when they had irrigation system issues.
Happy to report the course is in the best condition in years.
Fun hilly course
The course was in good condition in spite of the greens being recently sanded. Fairways were good but the rough was not well kept. Still overall a fun course to play.
nice course
Enjoy trying different places, especially when it's a Ross course. She could use some tlc, but was fun and playable with small tricky greens. If I was in the area, I would go around again.
BingoBangoBongo
Course was great, pace of play was slow because you have people playing from the whites, that absolutely needs to play from the green tees.
Poor course lay out
Tee boxes were to. Lose to putting greens . So no respect on teeing off or putting. Narrow fairways and blind fairways.
First time playing there
The course is unique to this part of Florida with elevation changes and NO water. I believe this is what is considered a links course; with the tree-lined, narrow, fairways running parallel to each other. A big plus to keep playing without drops and strokes lost. Fairways, bunkers and the greens were all in great shape. Definitely will be back.
Not worth the travel
Booked because of the reviews and price. Travel from Daytona hour and half.
Small parking lot. First tee is right off the parking lot. Seams crowded…
Narrow fairways and close together..
Small greens several blind shots .
Don’t plan on going back.
A Hem
Fantastic Donald Ross 100 year old designed gem. Fantastic value for money. Unique driving range hitting into a pond with water fountains as your yardage markers.
Friendly pro shop and restaurant staff.
Well worth the drive.
