The beautiful Palatka Golf Club in Palatka, Fla. plays host to the tournament teeing off on Friday
The 2024 Florida Azalea Amateur is back from March 15 to March 17, 2024, at the Palatka Golf Club in Palatka, Fla.
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).
