Palatka Golf Club

Palatka Golf Club was designed by Donald Ross in 1925 and borders the Ravine State Gardens. The course is only 6000 yards long from the tips, but the small Ross greens and well-placed bunkers make for a solid test of a golfer's full skillset. The greens are firm and fast for the tournament.

Some recent past champions include Peter Uhlien (2008), Dillon Board (2016), Ben Reichert (2018), Cole Anderson (2019), Ryan Terry (2020), and Cody Carroll (2022).

HISTORY

The Florida Azalea was started in 1958 as a two-man team tourney. The field has, over the years, boasted players who have gone on to greatness at the professional level. Tommy Aaron, who teamed with Dan Sykes for the 1960 Florida Azalea team title, went on to win the 1973 Masters.

Bob Murphy, winner of back-to-back Florida Azalea titles while playing for the University of Florida golf team in 1965-66, was an 11-time winner on the PGA Tour.

The 220-man Azalea field competes in one of six flights. The first flight is the Championship, with a cut after 36 holes. The next five flights are Net.
