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.

Quick pitch and putt on a winter day
Came out mid day on a blustery and cool Winter day. The tee boxes were covered better than usual, but the greens still need lots of TLC. The night green still a temporary.
Not very crowded, and overall a fun experience to practice some short irons.
Good course for kids and short game practice
Overall course condition can be improved specially the greens. Ideal course for kids and elders learning the game.
GOOD PRACTICE
Palm Valley is great for practice... course is easily walkable and overall in good condition. few greens and tee boxes a little rough but cant beat a good walk on the course.
Great walking course
Great course to work on short game… yeah tee boxes and greens need some work, but overall great value for the money. Busy course but players are courteous and let you play thru if there is room, but overall moves pretty good.
Decent practice course for short irons
You get what you pay for at Palm Valley, which isn’t much. About half of the tee boxes are either under repair or completely abandoned. Fairways are narrow and could use a mow, but the holes are short. So if you’re lucky, you won’t have to play out of them all that much.
The course is great if you are looking for an affordable spot to work on your short iron accuracy, or if you are looking to play an entire round with a 7 iron, Roy McAvoy style. Oh, and they charge extra for a push cart, so pack light for this little cowpoke 9 hole oasis. I wouldn’t recommend asking about GolfNow. The owner seems to be offended people are booking “Hot Deals” and robbing them of the extra few bucks.
Depends on what you are looking for
So how you view this course will depend on what you are looking for. If you simply want an inexpensive place to work on your game - this is it. If you are looking for swanky town - keep looking - this ain’t it. Huge range (grass and mats). Friendly staff. Small greens and enough bunkers and water to make it interesting. Some greens are really tuff and some are alright. Tee boxes are challenging/ generally not enough grass. But you usually get what you pay for. Good value in a convenient location. Not great, but I can make it work. I’ll be back.
Owners are letting the course return to farmland
Sand on tee boxes, deep sand on several greens and various types of weeds on all greens. Really sad little course
Hillbilly farm golf
The worst course conditions I’ve ever played on.
Any previous reviews stating otherwise are fraud posts prob from the owners. Sand on tee boxes, sand so deep it was like a trap on several greens.
A shame as years ago this was a decent place to get in some iron work
Great Practice Facility
PVGC is a nice little 9 hole par 3 course (2 hole are par 4 at 240 and 210 yards). Their driving range has a nice new turf area along with classic mats along with newer range balls. This is a great place to hit balls and then walk a quick 9 and practice on course. Majority of the holes are around 100 yards so perfect to work on scoring play. Go out w a few mates and a pop or two and enjoy a walk about. Simple vibes that are sometimes missing at bigger clubs/courses. I recommend checking it out. Cheers ,,,, Mk
Fun in the sun.
I was a nice relaxed atmosphere.
Easy to get range balls, practice putting, and then hit the course.

should be reported as a course shill - how on earth are the course conditions "excellent" ? My fellow golfer who'd never been said they were the worst he'd ever seen and called it a Hillbilly Farm course !
