Palatka Golf Course
About Palatka Golf Course
Set just across the St. Johns River from downtown Palatka, Palatka Golf Club is a vintage layout with an unhurried, traditional character.
The course was designed by Donald Ross and opened in 1925. Its holes roll gently across sandy ridges in an open, uncluttered setting, skirting the quiet woodlands bordering Ravine Gardens State Park.
The focus here is on the game's traditional elements: interesting holes, a welcoming staff, and a round that can be played at a brisk pace without consuming an entire day.
