About
Since opening in 1989, Palm Valley Golf Club has become a favorite among locals for the extremely affordable rates and enjoyable round. Surrounded by acres of horse farms in the heart of Nocatee, the golf course offers an idyllic and relaxing game. The nine-hole layout consists of two par 4s and seven par 3s. The golf course is ideal for beginners or for golfers looking for a casual round, but don't be mistaken: It is not a simple pitch-and-putt. Palm Valley Golf Club features well manicured target greens bordered by sand bunkers and water comes into play throughout. In addition to the golf course, Palm Valley also offers a 10,000-square-foot putting green, the largest in the area.

Iron play
Palm Valley GC is an institution. The owner family is a steward of the game. This course is a good way to hone your iron play in a leisurely pace.
Young and old alike can have fun.
Shills are pumping up the rating here
Course is basically cow pasture that isn’t being maintained well. Started playing here years ago as a quick short game place to practice. It’s gone downhill from then with tee boxes destroyed and greens being green only because weeds are that color. Reviews mostly confirmed that but now I see fantasy scores input to offset that.
There’s no way this place deserves anything more than 1-2 stars unless it’s for the range
Great place to practice
Great place to practice. Don't expect Great conditions for this price but sufficient for short iron practice. Greens bumpy but puttable. Guy in the shop was friendly. They also have a decent range and top tracer bays. Will go again for practice. Beats beating balls on the range.
Great for kids
Fun little course for kids to practice in a”real” course environment. For adults, it’s basically only good for wedge practices as the course is beat up. They have a good driving range, but it’s pricey.
Great Course for working kinks in game
Course condition is good and a nice walking course
Great short game practice
Palm Valley is in the best shape I have seen it in a long time. Definitely worth the price to work on your short game.
Great place
Totally enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The greens are in great shape. Would definitely go back.
Good Day for a Walk
course in good shape overall - a little wet in areascausing mis-hits but good day
Great Tract and Condition Much Improved
I'm glad to see the course condition improving nicely and although the people playing this course are courteous and considerate overall - I would suggest to all players please fix ball marks on the greens (even if not yours), management is working hard to get and keep the course in better shape and that's just etiquette of playing the game...I'll fix them if you don't but let's all pitch in to help.
Great Place for a Casual Round
It's a smaller par 3 course that's significantly more laid back and casual. It's a great course with great people running the business. $3 beers for those who enjoy a drink on the course. Overall, a great place!
Great Golfing Experience
I'm a Chicagoan visiting in-laws in Nocatee. Palm Valley is conveniently located and exactly what I was looking for during my long-weekend visit. Pace of play is excellent. 9- and 18-hole options. I showed up at 7AM on Friday hoping to secure the first tee time of the day - not sure of how the first-come-first-served would work. Well, not many golfers in FL are up for a round in 35 degree weather. Frost delayed my start but Dave in the pro shop offered a free bucket of balls for the inconvenience. Their practice facilities are incredible - I warmed up in one of their TopTracer booths. The course is fun and approachable. I will be back.
Beautiful Winter Day to Practice the Short Game
Warm and sunny winter day. Course very quiet. Greens the best I've seen there in 10 years, fairways ok, some tee boxes could use more work.
Overall, a great value to get out quickly for a tune up.
Nice day for golf
Wanted a quick 9 hole round and some short game practice shots. Course was a little more crowded than usual, but mostly at the driving range. Lots of families and small kids to dodge balls. The greens were better than in the past, fairways some coverage. The tees could still use some work. Overall, a fun round.
Excellent small course
Just played here again after a long break due to a wrist injury and the greens are looking better than ever. The staff is super friendly and there’s really no better value for what you get here.

Played today as soon as the nice rain showers (first of the season) stopped. Had the course almost to myself through 5th hole. The surrounding horse farms and wildlife contributed to an amazing outing. Hope this wonderful place never changes - it’s special.
