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.

Course Rating

The course is a cow pasture and the greens are unfit for putting. It’s awful and a waste of time and money, this course should not be listed on golf now.

It was the worst course I have ever played in my entire

Play it and see if you feel the same way, wait let me save you some money, don’t waste hard earned money.

This course looks like they are trying to let it go to sell it to developers.

JUST TERRIBLE

Played a lot of not-so-great courses while snow birding but this was the worst. T boxes in bad shape, fairways, if lucky to find a sliver of grass, and the worst THE GREENS. And I should have figured out when I drove in, and parking lot was just about empty. If you play it after you read my review, don't say I didn't tell you.

Course conditions

Fairways were in good shape as long as you roll the ball. Rough was all sand and weeds and the greens were very patchy and bumpy. Some bare spots on the greens. I've always heard courses make their money on greens so it was very disappointing.

Not worth the money

None of the greens were even remotely close to be acceptable. They seem to not have been watered for months and there was so much fungus, sand, crevices, etc.

Disappointing

Stuck with two macho men who should take golf lessons, They were all over the course with each shot and held up play. Need to learn manners as well since they played their radio and one was on his cell phone constantly. Talked loudly while the one woman was teeing off as well as when she was in the fairway (the few times they placed their shots in bounds! Fairways and especially the greens needed watering. Too bad as the area was scenic with some great homes.

New course

Love the course layout and fairways but they need to water, sand and roll the greens. Hope they get their liquor license back. Great bar

Awful Conditions

Course is not worth a single penny in the current shape, greens are dead and uneven, if you aren’t in the fairway it’s basically sand/weeds you’re hitting out of. Go elsewhere.

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.
