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.

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.

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.

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

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 !

Fun Practice Course

Golf course is not in the best shape, some greens and tee boxes are sandy and the overall conditions are not the best. However, that doesn’t matter, this course is fun to practice your short game on and to bring your kids to. The driving range is great and the putting and chipping areas are fantastic. The staff are great and the overall vibes of the place is great, everyone there either playing, practicing, or working are all there for a good time. It is cheap to play and has a fun layout. All holes are straight and short with some water. Overall a great place to play.
