Palencia Golf Course

Arthur Hills, a designer with a long record of working sensitively within Florida's coastal ecosystems, designed the course. His work here reflects his trademark approach: fairways that follow the natural contours of the land, strategic bunkering, and greens complexes that reward precise approach play over raw distance. The marsh carries demand real commitment on several holes, giving the round an edge that purely inland Florida layouts rarely offer.

For visitors, playing Palencia doubles as an introduction to one of Florida's most historically rich corners — close enough to St. Augustine's colonial-era downtown that a round here pairs naturally with everything the city offers beyond the golf.
