Set beside the scenic Ravine Gardens State Park, Palatka Golf Club offers an authentic Golden-Age golf experience on a classic 1925 Donald Ross–designed layout. The par-70 course plays just under 6,000 yards, but its challenge comes from Ross’s signature strategic elements—subtle doglegs, elevated greens, and slopes that reward smart positioning over sheer distance. Towering pines and natural sandy ridges frame the fairways, giving the course a timeless character and a peaceful, parkland feel.
Known for its firm conditions, walkability, and approachable routing, Palatka delivers a pure, traditional style of golf perfectly suited to players of all skill levels. The greens are small and contoured, demanding an accurate short game, while generous landing areas keep the course fun and playable. As one of Florida’s most charming municipal courses, Palatka Golf Club offers excellent value, rich history, and a relaxed atmosphere—making it a standout addition to any northeast Florida golf itinerary.
