About
Editor's Note: Course closed and reopen as The Yards.
The Oak Bridge Club (formerly known as Ponte Vedra Golf & Country Club at Sawgrass) in the heart of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., sits adjacent to the famed Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. The 6,413-yard, par-70 Arnold Palmer design features water on every hole, tree-lined fairways and undulating greens. Oak Bridge favors accuracy and strategy over power and distance. New owners have upgraded the clubhouse and introduced a new restaurant, The 3 Palms Grille. A tennis center is home to 10 Har-Tru clay courts.

Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2017 #12)
Reviews
Reviewer Photos
Surprisingly satisfied
Thought it was well worth what we paid. Read the reviews before going and was surprisingly satisfied. The recent reviews are not telling you really what the course was like. We will be golfing there again for sure.
Oak Bridge
The layout was fun but the course is in rough shape. Greens very bumpy and fairways pretty brown. No cart amenities and no good option for food during the round.
Terrible course conditions
The course is in terrible shape. Especially for the price. Tee boxes are dirt tracks and the greens supposedly recently air rated were absolutely horrible.
No cart service and drink prices in the clubhouse and bar were very high priced.
Tried to have brunch after at 3palms and that was not a good experience. Never received service and they were slow so there was no excuses. We got up and left.
Overall poor experience. I’ve played there before and the course would have potential if they cared about it. The course for years now has been in terrible shape and doesn’t look like it will get any better.
Will be the last time I will ever play there.
Needs lots of work!
Greens were horrible. Fairways in bad shape. No drinking water on the course, no ball washers. Limited signage for holes, no cart girls/ guys st all. Not worth the price.
Selling Part of course
Lived near this course for 2 years and just recently learned they are selling the back 6 holes next to A1A to build condos.... so they are pretty much letting the course turn into weeds all over. For the money you can play somewhere else.
Worst course I've ever played
Disregard any photos attached to this course. You cannot tell the tee b ox from the fairway from the greens. Weeds galore and unsightly. If I lived on this course I would dig one large lake.
Course was not in good condition
When i arrived i wondered why there were so few people playing. After playing a few holes it was obvious. The greens were the worst i have played, tee boxes were poor and the whole course had a an air of neglect. The layout was actually pretty good as is the location at sawgrass, si i find this difficult to understand. Practice facilities were ok but range balls were expensive. Didnt bother with the club house. Would not play again.
Great little course needs TLC
The Oak Bridge Golf Club offers a great layout with challenging shots. Club house and facilities are in great shape considering the age of the complex. Once greens are in better shape it will a hidden jewel in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Poor conditions
The greens are in such bad shape, putting is almost impossible. May never play this course again.
Shouldn’t have Sawgrass affiliated with their name
Staff was very friendly. Quick start to first tee but the pace through front nine was a snails pace; many hazards through the first nine. Fairway conditions were fair; however, overall course conditions were absolutely horrid. There were many downed trees, a total invasion of geese, dark and muddy sand traps, cart paths had more holes than Swiss cheese, and worst of all the greens; there weren’t any. They were atrocious, poorly kept, dry and dead plus it looked like they aerated the greens with giant pitch forks. Unless one wants to just play practice, I would not recommend it to anyone.
Worst greens and tees I’ve seen
Thought previous reviewers were being harsh as Oakbridge Seemed improved awhile back
Nope - greens were a combo of bare areated and rough. We often teed off outside the tee box as it was so sandy we slipped.
Sad what’s happened here
Planned renovation apparently delayed
Course is in horrid condition. Lumpy, weedy greens. Bare fairways.
3 Palms restaurant onsite is fantastic. Go for lunch or dinner and skip the golf.
Greens are horrible
Greens are horrible.
I wish they had some money to put into the course, it’s a great layout but the greens are just horrible.
The people in the clubhouse are great as are the cart guys, course just needs work
Poor greens and tee boxes
The greens and tee boxes were terrible. They should charge half of what I paid and let you know that every green is diseased and tee boxes sandy and barley any grass.
Horrible conditions
Don’t trust any positive reviews for the course, it’s in horrible shape, worst of any course I’ve ever played. They aren’t even trying to maintain the greens. It’s like putting on a beach on half of the greens.
I’ve literally never left a review for a course and am really easy going about things, figure you get what you pay for and never complain. But this course isn’t worth $20 on a weekday in the general Jacksonville/St Johns area. Certainly not worth $42 on a Sunday morning.
They will also stack tee times 10 minutes apart with foursomes and still not have the sense to send people down the back 9 in the early morning.
All around worst course I’ve ever played.
Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort Stay & Play Package
World Golf Village Stay & Play Package

This course is in horrible shape and should be shut down. Not to mention the change their rain policy daily to meet their needs. All respectable course prorate their greens fees based on rain. We were given nothing and were rained out half way through. Golf now should remove this course from their list.
Every green is a putt -putt, goofy golf adventure. This course used to be nice but needs too be closed and the disrespectful employees in the Pro shop fired.
