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.

Great place to play
We come down from Canada and play this course several times in the three months we are here.
Beautiful January Day on the Course
Fabulous sunny weather in January. Fairways were green, but thick. Greens the same. Not very crowded.
A nice round and bargain.
Tricky par 5s
Can’t go wrong with a Donald Ross design
3rd time playing and the greens were much better
Fun course. Played with an outstanding couple. From Ottawa
Hi John and Liz
Overseeding at the moment greens are slow and you cannot drive the cart on the fairway.
Vastly improved
This is the first time we've played this course in quite a few months and the improvements are definitely noticeable. The greens and the fairways are in great condition. A couple of the tea boxes still need work but the sand traps were also in great condition as well.
Love the course
Much better than before need some more work. Getting back where it's my first choice.
Great price, bad conditions
Now I remember why I don’t go to this course. It was a great deal so cannot complain too much. Driving range was ok. You have to climb this huge hill, no bag stands, but the grass was good. I do not like the layout of the course. Many blind shots. Biggest complaints: anything off the fairway just ate your ball. Not high rough but high weeds. Spent a lot of time looking for balls that were just off fairway but buried. Greens bad conditions on most. If there was grass they were the slowest greens I have ever played! Had to smash the ball just to get it to the hole. One was a temporary green. People were very nice but long drive for me and too many nicer options for me closer to home.
Worst I have ever seen.
Played here many times over 25 years. My expectations are never high. WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS COURSE! Teeboxes, horrible. Greens atrocious. Fairways good enough. It is a classic and cheap. Won't be back for a while.
Ok Course
Little irritated because there where not that many people out playing so I asked the front counter guy if I could have my own cart so I could get around the course a little faster. Not so friendly of a response “ you could pay 20 dollars for it “ and then some smug response when I said I don’t think so and walked out. As far as the course tees could have used a cut, fairways were in real good shape, greens looked really nice but just a bit on the slow side. Overall it is a nice municipal golf course but as you can tell I am whining about the counter help. I will get over it and play again.
Balls flying all over the place
Keep your head down.
A 5 some and 6some with a lotta beer were out in front on a weekend….. terribly d slow play and no Marshall
