Palatka Golf Club
About
Neighbor to the beautiful Ravine State Gardens, Palatka Golf Club offers a game that is as scenic as it is entertaining. Designed by Donald Ross in 1925, the golf course was created with all skill levels of golfers in mind. The layout is player friendly, but there are still many challenging elements to keep golfers on their toes, including Ross' signature "turtleback" greens. There are also numerous bunkers fiercely guarding the greens. The signature hole of the course is the par-3 third. This 188-yard hole is a test of accuracy, requiring a difficult tee shot to a well bunkered green. Palatka Golf Club also offers a unique aqua driving range for golfers to use.

drawbacks
This is an excellent Course to play, the people are friendly But the city of Palatka is greedy. They require the course to discriminate against you if you are not from Palatka and to charge you an addition so called tax of $5. Golf now does not mention this until after you have booked your game and even then you would probably miss it if you did not know it was going to happen. Golf NOw in my opinion should be showing it upfront as a city surcharge on tourists so that tourists realize how much they will be paying upfront.
I like the course but I do not like the sneaky way this surcharge is being handled.
Many greens and tee boxes are in tough shape, but they are definitely working on them and hopefully they will recover.
Good Value!
We enjoyed our round at Palatka! The course is not the nicest, but was fine, especially for the cost. I appreciated the fewer water hazards. All around a good time!
Beautiful Weather Round
Clear blue skis, 70° and a little wind. Fairways were covered nicely, but greens are deteriorating Not able to putt Just locked him in the room just leave them in there. We thought y’all Harry was gonna do it. He got sick last minute and he didn’t tell anybody that the best solution was put together like ninth grader and there’s a lot of adults overwhelmed. So it happens occasionally because she’s a teacher ha ha ha ha ha ha q Last year Jennifer worked with her. I thought she was in her class. I’m sure I’m sure they’ll get her be more younger. on some of them.
Will try again in the future.
Beautiful Spring Day on the Course
Fabulous weather for a round at Palatka. Had a twosome and finished in 2:40 even waiting for a foursome for a few holes.
Fairways and most tees were in good shape, but some greens need work. Overall a nice day and place to play for the cost.
Nice place to play
Fun challenge! Fairways lush greens a little on slow side but fun to be aggressive.
Challenging fun
Beautiful old trees, small elevated greens, but greens inconsistent and slow. Holes are close together, with some tees far to close to prior green. Max 6100 yards, thus not a course for long hitters.
Great Donald Ross design
Course was in very good condition. Greens and fairways were well maintained. Small elevated greens. Very good value for the money. Also this course is made for walkers, but most people are in carts anyway.
Great course for the money's
A true Donald ross course. Very long. Fairways and greens in great condition.
