Ponte Vedra Inn & Club
About Ponte Vedra Inn & Club
Somewhat overshadowed by Sawgrass, this classic inn and resort predates it by several decades. Two charming golf courses have benefited from the design expertise of local resident and experienced architect Bobby Weed, and the new Lodge recently increased the resort's accommodations complement by several dozen rooms. Ponte Vedra Inn & Club should be near the top of the list for visitors seeking a sense of Old Florida.Facts

Poor Condition
Unfortunately, currently River Wilderness is in very poor condition. Greens are very poor - dry, spotty, and bumpy. Fairways also baked.
The course has really gone downhill the last few years. It could be very good, but it will take time and $$ to bring it back.
It’s Been Better
This is mainly for course conditions. The staff is always great here so no complaints. Until the snowbirds leave, pace of play is horrible no matter where you go.
The fairways aren’t horrible but I’ve seen them better. Irrigation does need to be addressed as many fairways were just soppy. Not to mention people just spin tires in there to make it wore. Come on people! The most atrocious part was the greens. Between the bare spots, pitted sand, and weeds you really don’t enjoy the greens. They are usually tricky but now it’s like an obstacle course from fringe to hole.
I say, make your money and then close it down for 2 weeks to get it back to what I was used to here. Fun course when it is better.
Florida Golf
nice course but in very poor condition. fairways were adequate but greens were poor; bunkers were ok
Greens need work
Lovely course but it is not as well cared for as it has in the past. Greens were really in need of care
First time in a long time
Happy to see they are putting money into the course
Fairways were almost lush and a deep green
Greens are coming around. Quick but a little bumpy
Always loved the layout
Played in a league there for years
Very happy with the improved conditions
May consider rejoining the league
Either way, I will be back
Course needs some early season TLC
Loved the course layout , nice
Fairways and greens but likely due to drought like conditions course was pretty rough
Lost a few balls rolling off the fairways into deep clover patches that consume the visibility
Would love to come back and play it in the fall
Dry greens
Narrow fairways and small, sandy, dry hard greens with large sand traps around them.
Fast pace of play because hardly anybody there.
Nice layout.
Poor conditions
Greens hard as concrete, not being watered.
Fairways were mostly hard pan with almost no grass. Weeds were more prevalent than grass.
Many beginner golfers on course, leading to very slow pace of play.
Missed Opportunities
The course layout is amazingly solid. But the upkeep is awful. The tee boxes and fairways are “ok” but the greens are just not taken care of properly. There’s crabgrass, sand, bumps and obvious old holes all over the place. And it seemed to our group that the grounds crew takes “new” earth from the outline of all the greens to use as hole filler???? There are literal old holes filled with regular sand outlining pretty much every green. And most of the ground around the greens is just sand and dirt. Ugh. Not for $70.
Very sad condition
Played with 2 friends. Even using a golf now hot deal and a 30% off promo the price to play this course was not a good deal, overpriced for the condition of the course. The putting green was in horrible condition and the greens on the course were no better. Find a better place to play and spend your money.
Overall the course is good
The greens are below par
Great course
Love.playing this course and a great price on top, for a drought going on it's in great shape and the greens are in good shape and very fast.
