Golf & Country Club Living in Ponte Vedra

TPC Sawgrass, also called Sawgrass Players Club, spans over 1,200 acres in Ponte Vedra Beach and is home to the Pete Dye designed Stadium Course, site of THE PLAYERS Championship every spring, along with the PGA Tour headquarters itself.

Sawgrass Country Club sits east of A1A along the coastline, and its Ed Seay designed course actually hosted THE PLAYERS Championship from 1977 to 1981, before the tournament moved across the road to TPC Sawgrass.

Marsh Landing sits on the north end of Ponte Vedra Beach, offering an 18 hole golf course, marina access for boaters, and an easy commute to downtown Jacksonville or the Mayo Clinic area via JTB.

Marsh Landing offers a more contained, single club neighborhood feel, while Sawgrass Players Club sits within a broader golf ecosystem including TPC Sawgrass and The Yards, a key distinction for buyers deciding between the two Ponte Vedra communities.

Sawgrass Country Club membership carries an initiation fee reported around $120,000 with a multi-year waitlist, and is widely considered Florida's most prestigious club, entirely separate from simply owning a home in the area.

Both the Stadium Course and Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass take public resort bookings, with peak Stadium Course rates running $450 or more, a rare chance to play a PGA Tour venue without a club membership.

Sawgrass Players Club is made up of 16 individual subdivisions, including Cypress Creek, Oakbridge, and Sawgrass Island, offering everything from condos to single family estates within one gated golf community.

Both Sawgrass and Marsh Landing operate under a master association plus individual sub-HOAs, meaning buyers should expect architectural review boards and separate club membership decisions on top of standard HOA rules.
