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 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.

Don’t believe the few reviews that speak of great course for your short game ! There are no greens !! Bare spots, weeds and longer weeds that’s it.

You can play the 9 holes with a hybrid and a nine iron.

Fine bring the putter but you’ll see it’s not even worth it

Snag a hot deal for $10 but don’t waste your $$ on a regular priced round

I keep hoping they’ll fix the tee boxes and greens and keep getting disappointed

Great course for irons play!

Great short course with challenging holes. Very reasonably priced. Not sure why it doesn’t have a better rating, I could not open the reviews section. I like the laid back atmosphere and the staff are friendly, they will show you how to use the Top Tracer app if you want to use one of the bays. The owner is committed to making this small course the best it can be. I like being able to get on the course for a quick round. Weekends are busier naturally.
