SAWGRASS COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, USA
Designed by Arnold Palmer, Ed Seay


Sawgrass Country Club's East/West course, carved into the Ponte Vedra Beach landscape, represents a distinct departure from the area's more celebrated layouts. It whispers of late 1960s design principles, a time when playability and member enjoyment were emphasized over penal challenges.
Designed by Ed Seay, the course unfolds across relatively flat, coastal terrain. Expect generous fairways and approachable greens, encouraging a strategic, rather than power-driven, approach. Doglegs and subtle undulations demand careful club selection and positional awareness, while the prevailing ocean breezes add a layer of complexity.
While the East/West course hasn't hosted championships of global renown, it remains a cherished centerpiece of the Sawgrass community. It's a place where generations of members have honed their games and shared countless rounds, fostering a spirit of camaraderie that defines the club's character. A notable tradition is the annual Member-Guest tournament, a spirited competition steeped in good-natured rivalry.
