West/South Course
-9th.jpg)
Sawgrass Country Club predates its more famous neighbor, TPC Sawgrass, and was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay in the early 1970s as part of the broader Sawgrass development in Ponte Vedra Beach. The club features 27 holes divided into three nines—West, South, and East—allowing for multiple 18-hole combinations. The West/South routing represents one of these pairings and showcases the design characteristics typical of Palmer and Seay's work in northeast Florida's coastal landscape. The course occupies relatively flat terrain interspersed with natural wetlands, lakes, and stands of pine and palmetto. Water comes into play on numerous holes, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering around greens and landing areas. The layout reflects Palmer's playing philosophy of rewarding aggressive, well-executed shots while offering bailout options for more conservative approaches. Greens are moderately sized with subtle to moderate contours. Sawgrass Country Club operates as a private facility and serves as the centerpiece of a residential community. The club has maintained a traditional membership structure focused on golf, tennis, and social activities. While it does not host professional tournaments, the course provides a well-established layout for member play and has been part of the Ponte Vedra Beach golf scene for over five decades. The West/South combination offers a solid test of golf within a mature, tree-lined setting characteristic of established Florida country clubs.
Most arrivals to Sawgrass Country Club route through Jacksonville International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive southeast along I-95 and A1A into the coastal enclave of Ponte Vedra Beach. The journey trades interstate efficiency for the salt-tinged air and low-slung elegance of Florida's First Coast, where manicured resort corridors give way to the quieter, more established neighborhoods that define this corner of the Atlantic shore. As you turn into the club's grounds, the landscape softens into the kind of understated luxury that has long characterized Ponte Vedra - a place where championship golf and coastal refinement have coexisted, largely out of the spotlight, for generations.
