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.

Ok

Fairways were a real nice shape some of the greens were a little rough inconsistent as far as speed. Lot of areas off the fairway and rough that were bare ground had to move the ball and get a decent line. It's an old course and the greens are small and hard and hard hard to hold the ball

Great historical course

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed playing at this course. Even during the winter months, they’ve taken care with the fairways greens and tea boxes and it’s in great condition.

Great course

Course was in good shape for early February.
Will only get better as we get into the spring and summer months.
Only complaint is how does a course let a few groups of 5 out at 10 am.
Great layout with blind tee shots and hilly terrain

Fun time!

Great value. Small greens provide a challenge, greens and traps could use some attention, but over all a fun course. Nice people, and a good price.
