Palatka Golf Club
publicPalatka Golf Club is a historic municipal course in Palatka, a small city on the St. Johns River in Putnam County that holds the distinction of being home to one of the most historically significant golf facilities in Florida. The course was designed by Donald Ross in 1925, making it one of the few surviving Ross designs in Florida and an authentic pilgrimage site for golf architecture enthusiasts. The layout features Ross's characteristic crowned greens, natural bunkering, and strategic routing that rewards thoughtful play over power — design elements that have stood the test of time across a century of play. The course is operated as a municipal facility by the City of Palatka, keeping it remarkably accessible and affordable. The St. Johns River setting provides a scenic North Florida backdrop of live oaks, azaleas — Palatka is famous for its spring azalea festival — and the natural beauty of one of America's longest rivers.
Palatka Golf Club was designed by legendary Scottish-American architect Donald Ross and opened in 1925 during the Florida land boom era. Ross, who designed over 400 courses in North America including Pinehurst No. 2, created a thoughtful layout that has endured for a century. The City of Palatka has maintained the course as a municipal facility, preserving the Ross design largely intact and making it one of the most authentic and affordable pieces of American golf history accessible to the public.
