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

Dog track
I thought they banned dog tracks in Florida but somehow this one still exists. Course is in horrific shape and I will not play here again....even if they were paying me to do so. The layout has potential but the head greenskeeper needs to find a new profession is this is the best he's got i took pics of the greens in terrible shape but it won't let me upload. Staff was nice but that's hardly a reason to play somewhere.
Worth the Drive
I've played this course a few times over the years and if I can find a good deal it's well worth the drive from St. Pete. Staff is friendly & practice area feels like a private club with free balls on the range, chipping and putting greens. The course is not too difficult but there's lots of water and big sandy bunkers. Carts are brand new GPS and even warn you when there's an alligator nearby which is handy! Going back in a few weeks.
Interesting Layout
Another residential country club type course that needs rejuvenation of the greens (playable, but very slow) Interesting layout, great practice areas. Bunkers were in good shape, fairways didn’t appear to be overseeded.
Not so good
Range was in horrible condition. Nice staff, but the starter and rangers were nowhere to be found Therefore the pace of play was not good. The 2 visitors I was paired with left after 3 holes. That made it tough for me as a single until the back nine. They left to play 9 at Streamsong.
We won’t ever be back.
disappointing
we've always liked this course but worse shape we've seen it in. Have played several courses in the area and this is by far the worst we've played. Not a repeat this year.
Perfect golf day
From the Pro Shop, Straight through to the after round drinks our foursome had a great day.
The staff is friendly and helpful, everyone greeted us with a smile and hello, the restaurant staff was exceptional! the manager was fantastic which trickled over to her staff as you could tell by how positive, helpful and attentive the staff was, our waitress interacted with us and joked with us. GREAT JOB BY YOU BOTH!
The golf course has several tee options, the layout is great, bunkers are the most consistent I've played in this area (sand was soft and every trap was the same, many many traps) fairways and rough are good. Greens are decent, we played late morning and they had a bit of growth making them slow.
The only thing that could be improved was the lack of golf etiquette (knowledge) of the grounds crew, we would be hitting and rather then stopping for the minute they would just carry on driving by or running there machines within 10-20 yards of us.
Thanks for. Great day!
Great day golfing
Course in good shape, staff nice. Pace of play great.
has seen better days
we've played this course several times over the past few years. Not in the best shape, our 1st game since arriving in Florida so can't yet compare to other courses.
not sure I recommend but depends what we see at other courses
Golf
Course is not in good condition. Fairways have barely any grass. Greens had a lot of sand and in below average condition. Did see plenty of alligators. Snack area wasn’t open so no food or drinks.
Nice course
Staff friendly and helpful, nice lounge/restaurant and great staff. Pace of play was great. Will be back.
Improving condition
Played here a couple of times over the last few weeks and the course is improving. The greens were hollow tined a few weeks ago and are gradually getting better and smoother. The bunkers are having new sand in them and the overall condition is getting better each week. Staff are very friendly. There are free range balls when you arrive. We played on a Sunday behind a mixed Texas scramble so the front 9 was fairly slow but the whole round took us less than 3 1/2 hours. We will play there again and it's good value for the "Hot 🔥" tee time.
