About this course

The Yards in Ponte Vedra Beach isn’t just another Florida golf club; it’s a reimagining of the game for a new generation, fostering a laid-back vibe where golf is enjoyed, not revered. Here, tradition takes a backseat to accessibility and fun, creating an atmosphere distinctly different from its more buttoned-up neighbors. Featuring two distinct courses, The Front Yard and The Backyard, the property offers a diverse golfing experience. The Front Yard, a shorter, par-3 layout, is perfect for honing your short game or enjoying a casual round with friends. In contrast, The Backyard provides a more traditional, though still approachable, 9-hole layout with a mix of strategically placed bunkers and water hazards to test your skills. While not a championship venue, The Yards deliberately emphasizes a relaxed environment. Beyond the course, The Yards cultivates a social atmosphere centered around its communal spaces. The absence of stringent dress codes and the emphasis on quick, enjoyable rounds reflect a modern attitude towards golf. It's a place where newcomers and seasoned players alike can feel welcome, fostering a sense of community uncommon in more traditional clubs. The Yards is fast becoming a local haven for those who prioritize enjoyment and camaraderie over rigid formality.
