If you’re a golfer and call Northeast Florida home, you are in luck. Florida boasts more golf courses than any other state by a substantial margin. But it’s not just quantity you’ll find in the Sunshine State, golfing legends like Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, and Gene Sarazen have all had a hand in designing premium golf courses in Northeast Florida, specifically in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area. Not only does the Jacksonville area have these amazing courses open to the public, but nearby Ponte Vedra Beach is also home to The Player’s Championship. While not considered a major by the PGA, TPC has the highest prize fund of any tournament in golf, attracts a huge following, and is known for its famous “island hole”, the 17th hole on the vaunted Stadium Course.
The World Golf Hall of Fame & World Golf Village is also in St. Augustine, and offers a wide variety of golf-related activities for those who love the game, and for those who love those that love the game. You don’t need to be a golf guru to enjoy The Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurant or the IMAX immersive entertainment experience.
