Palencia Golf Course was designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 2002 on a 105-acre property along the Intracoastal Waterway and the Tolomato River, shaded by centuries-old maritime oak trees. Wooded buffers separate many holes from the surrounding neighborhood, and the course has earned Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary status for its stewardship of the adjoining marsh.
