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.

Meh even after “upgrades”.

Fairways are decent, rough is loaded with weeds, greens are pretty beat up, bunkers hadn’t been raked since Wednesday and didn’t have much sand in them to begin with. It’s basically a $15 muni they want $40 to play.

Not Kid Friendly

I've played this course with my son in the past and have been happy with it. Apparently they've recently implemented a rule that disallows children on the course. In the past my son has enjoyed riding on the cart alongside of me while I play. He doesn't go into the woods or the water and I demand that he is respectful to the course. I've brought him onto dozens of courses in the past and we don't hold up anyone's game. In fact, we've never had anyone even close to waiting on us. When we're approaching another group I use that time to teach him some pointers. That being said, I was very disappointed when I was rudely told that I couldn't take my son along with me; he was heartbroken. I even offered to pay for his round, as opposed to simply being a passenger. I used to enjoy coming to Oak Bridge but this will deter me from coming again, with or without my son.

Everything was fine, up until we were treated with disrespect by Palms hostess, for after round bite to eat.

We walked out because of the hostesses rudeness and absence of social skills

This course would be much more fun if the greens were inviting and has some vegetation on them.

Underrated gem

Took my 3 year old son on a ride along while I golfed 18. This is a course I frequent often due to value and location. The greens leave some room for improvement but I love the scenery, layout, and it's typically not too crowded, although it was full this particular visit. Plenty of water and hazards to get into trouble with (not a good thing for my game), but I like the challenge. Will definitely be back.

Even for early March the course is in tough shape. Neither I nor my wife will play it again. We were surprised how bad it is.

It's worth the cost

This course is not in the best shape but it is in good enough shape to be well worth the $29 for a round. The only real complaint is the $8 for a bucket of about 30 practice balls. The driving range is a golf course's biggest money maker for the upkeep on it. Lowering that to $6 would get more range play. The same concept of lowering taxes, more people participate and even at a lower rate you get better revenue overall.

Still a great value

Since new owners took over a couple of years ago, Oakbridge has developed into one of NEFL best values.

Course was ok, greens were worse than last time I was here

Don’t go to practice facilities in the afternoon. There are unsupervised kids everywhere which is not a problem when supervised but this particular day they were hitting flop shots to practice greens from driving range. They also

we’re hitting flop shots from the first tee box over the hedges and from behind 9th green. The other kids are on the greens not even paying attention to what is going on around them. There were probably 40 kids there and I’m surprised nobody has gotten seriously hurt.
