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.

poor start, middle and finish - I'd stay away

clubhouse attendant informs us they don't honor tee times and to wait in line at the first tee !!

never heard that one befpre but prepaid so no choise.

It got worse. First tee was like teeing off from a sand trap - greens were not rolling true as weeds were long and there were burnt out areas. I agree with a previous post and no one should've been subject to these conditions. Its only $10 but seems like owners just gave up

Won't be back

Needs an overhaul

This local pitch and putt could be a very nice short game practice course, However, it needs to be completely overhauled and then maintained. Nobody should’ve been allowed on that course yesterday it was extremely wet and probably did more damage to the course. As always, the driving range and chip and putting greens are very nice and were in good shape.

Best place to relax and hit some balls

This place has always been a favorite of mine. Even when the weather isn't the best, I still like to come out and play. The prices are ridiculously good, chill atmosphere so I'm not stressed about making sure I look like a pro golfer, and the course is fun everytime I play. Greens are a lot better than they were a year ago too. If you want a place to just relax and hit some balls, I say come here.

Fun course

If you understand what this course is, you will really enjoy yourself. If you are looking for a country club experience, this is not it. It's the equivalent of a Mom and Pop store -- charming, accessible, very affordable. A great place for newly golfers and learners, a fun place for a quick 9 or 18 holes. It is short, it is easy, It is fun. The people are fantastic and the pace of the place is comfortable. we had a great time.

Friendliest staff

Everyone is nice and they do everything they can to be as accommodating as possible. It’s a small 9 hole course, but it’s definitely a lot of fun. Great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Range Rules Substandard

Not allowed to pick up range balls and pitch again.

Staff comes out to warn you forcefully!

Most holes heel deep in water and mud. Greens so muddy, fried eggs on impact.

No smooth greens on entire course!

Overcharged me! No receipt given! (Wife non-golfer charged as player. Granted a “rain check” for more miserable golf!

What golf course let's you do that!? That's not safe nor is it proper etiquette.

Unsatifactory

Worst course conditions Ive experienced in Jacksonville. Every tee box was either beat up grass and sand or you had to hit off a cement mat. If you do actually hit there greens good luck, the greens are horrible and not worth even putting. Theres crab grass and thatch as well as bare spots. I dont think they even bother to roll them at all. This information should given when you pay. I felt duped. I will never go here again.
