    Ponte Vedra Inn & Club (Ocean course)

    4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

    Est. 1928

    Ponte Vedra Inn & Club (Ocean course): Designed in 1928 by British architect Herbert Bertram Strong, the 6,574 yard, par-72 Ocean Course represents the Ponte Vedra area's first golf resort experience. It was later joined in 1961 by the resort's shorter Lagoon course.

    Lacking modern earth moving equipment, Strong used 100 mules dragging slip pans to give the course its contours, dredge lagoons and build up a series of earth mounds that dot the fairways. With subsequent improvements by Robert Trent Jones Sr and then Bobby Weed, praises and accolades have been heaped on the Ocean Course from the very beginning to the present day.

    The Ocean Course's ninety-nine strategically positioned sand bunkers enhance the beauty and increase the challenge of the golf experience. Designed to accommodate defensive pin positions, the elevated greens continually place a premium on well thought out and accurately executed approach shots.

    Did you know?

    The Ocean Course was selected as the venue for the 1939 Ryder Cup. However the onset of World War II led to the cancellation of the Ryder Cup until 1947, when the matches were moved to Portland, Oregon. The course has been used as a US Open qualifying course on several occasions.

      The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

      Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

      Who's Who

      Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

      Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
