Florida Senior Azalea Amateur
About
The Florida Senior Azalea Amateur (Senior Azalea) is held at Palatka Golf Club in Palatka, Florida — a Donald Ross–designed course that hosts the event annually rather than rotating venues. The tournament is typically played in early March (2025 dates were March 7–9) and is contested over 54 holes of individual stroke play for the championship flight, with additional handicap flights for net/prize distribution. Entry is handled through the host’s event registration (historically via the Palatka Golf Club/Golf Genius event page) and the field is limited; the tournament generally accepts sign-ups rather than being strictly invitation-only. Eligibility follows USGA amateur-status rules with a senior age category (commonly 55+); consult the event’s Notice of Competition on the Palatka Golf Club event page for exact age and acceptance criteria and current registration details.
