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.

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.

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.

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.

Great practice course

I always enjoy a nice walk on this course. Fairways in much better condition, tee boxes and greens still need improving so I don’t beat myself up over a missed putt…keep up the good work Chris you’ll get there!

Nice place to work on your short game!

Great short course with 7 par 3s and 2 short par 4s. Excellent for juniors and beginners to work on their games. Not a lot of grass on the greens or tee boxes right now. They mentioned aeration of the greens but there's more to it than that. Still an enjoyable stroll and nice time hitting shorter shots! Would have loved having a course like this growing up!

Nice course. Greens need grass.

The greens roiled nice for the lack of grass. It was a fun executive course that I paid ten bucks to play. Don’t tell the boss. I’ll be taking some lunches out there.

TLC Drastically Needed!!!

I'm surprised to see some reviewers giving this club 5 stars. The staff are friendly, but the course itself needs some serious care. I come here every now and then and thought the conditions of the course would have improved since winter, but I stand corrected. I played a round of 9 today, and the conditions are the worst I have ever seen. The tee boxes are bare with hardly any grass when teeing off. The greens are either dead or filled with so much sand that it feels like putting out of a sand trap. The greens even leave a well defined footprint, which could use a raking tool. Some of the short holes, the fairways are so dry you can putt them (Birdied the last hole using only my putter). With these conditions, pricing should be no more than $10 for 18 holes and that's being generous. Overall, the course is perfect for working with your short irons, but remember to keep your head on a swivel. These holes are narrow and backed up to each other, and balls are falling from all directions.

Ignore the shill posting good reviews !

No one would give this a decent review. Can’t putt because there’s no real grass on the green. Tee areas are sand and ruts.

The ONlY positive is hot deals can be $11 and there’s a range.

I’m complaining to GolfNow on the repeated positive reviews all from one account - prob the owners

Palm Valley 1st time

The course was narrow and water could come in to play on six of nine holes. Some of the greens were in rough shape and the greens were long making it difficult to determine the pace at which to putt the ball. But it was inexpensive for two people and one pull cart rental only $37. Not a bad place to work on your short game.
