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.

Friendly staff, quick start, good pace of play,.

Keep it in the fairway and you’ll be fine. Tee boxes are a bit close to certain greens. Smaller greens call for accurate approaches. Course was in good shape.

If you keep the ball in play at all times the condition of the course is pretty good. Rough and beyond is marginal IMO.

Tight links course with rolling fairways.

The location of the tee box to the adjacent green makes it very dangerous when taking approach shots. Potential to be hit by the adjacent tee shot. Need to install barriers to prevent stray tee shots from endangering golfers in the adjacent fairways. Dangerous course particularly with beginners teei shots.

Fairways and greens were OK. Rough is mostly weed and some type of clover leaf. We

had a $31 special so overall it was alright.
