The Palencia Club occupies a rolling tract of coastal hammock land along the St. Johns River in St. Augustine. Designed by Arnold Palmer’s design firm, the layout threads through live-oak hammocks, pine flatwoods, and restored wetlands, preserving most of the native canopy. Fairways are framed by native wiregrass and saw palmetto rather than ornamental plantings, and the course uses minimal irrigation outside the immediate playing surfaces. Several holes play along tidal creeks that feed into the river, where saltwater wetlands create natural waste areas and occasional wind exposure. The greens are TifEagle bermudagrass, firm and modestly contoured, with run-off slopes that direct balls toward collection areas rather than bunkers. Cart paths remain largely on the perimeter, leaving interior movement primarily by foot. Drainage throughout the property is integrated with the surrounding watershed, allowing seasonal sheet flow to pass beneath fairways via timber bridges and low-water crossings.
The Palencia Club currently has (within 1 mile) 2 single family homes for sale with an average list price of $864,450 and 1 condo for sale with a list price of $259,900. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there is 1 new construction home for sale. The average annual property tax for The Palencia Club is $6,048.34.
