Golf Communities & Golf Course Homes in Ponte Vedra Beach

40 homes for sale · Updated from the MLS

Four square miles of Ponte Vedra Beach hold the most storied club real estate in the South: the home of THE PLAYERS, the club that hosted it first, a community where the deed itself is the membership, and the 1928 resort whose 9th hole was an island green half a century before TPC's 17th. This guide explains how each club actually works — then lists every golf home currently for sale in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Ponte Vedra Beach's five club communities, from TPC to the original island green

Ponte Vedra Beach is four square miles of the most storied club real estate in the South — the home of THE PLAYERS, the club that hosted it first, the only community here where the deed IS the membership, and the 1928 resort whose par-3 9th was an island green half a century before Pete Dye's 17th. All five communities below sit within about four miles of each other; what separates them is how the club works. Here's each one honestly, with two live listings apiece.

Sawgrass Country Club

Ponte Vedra Beach · east of A1A

Sawgrass Country Club is the original — this, not TPC, is where THE PLAYERS was decided from 1977 to 1981, on Ed Seay's famously windy 27 holes through the dunes and wetlands. It's also the only gated residential community east of A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach, which means every resident lives on the beach side: estate homes, patio homes, townhomes, and six condo neighborhoods across 1,250 acres, all with beach-walkover and community-pool access whether or not they join the club.

The club itself is fully private and member-owned — membership is a separate application from buying the home — and brings a 24,000 sq ft oceanfront Beach Club, a tennis center ranked among the nation's best (13 tiered Har-Tru courts), and a 6,800 sq ft fitness center with a heated lap pool. Condos here start in the $500s and double as beach getaways; single-family runs to $1.3M+.

Sawgrass Players Club (TPC Sawgrass)

Ponte Vedra Beach · west of A1A

Sawgrass Players Club is the gated community wrapped around TPC Sawgrass — Pete Dye's Stadium Course, the island-green 17th, THE PLAYERS every March, and the PGA TOUR's world headquarters physically inside the gates. About 1,900 residences spread across 16 distinct neighborhoods on 1,200 acres, from villas and condos in the low $300s to Sawgrass Island estates past $3M, with Seven Mile Drive ringing Dye's Valley course.

The fact buyers get wrong most often: buying here does NOT include club membership. TPC is a TOUR-operated resort — anyone can book the Stadium Course (peak green fees run $450+), Dye's Valley sells an annual pass, and private membership tiers layer on top with initiation reported in the $50K–$75K range. That structure is actually the draw for many owners: a world-top-50 address with the membership decision left entirely to you.

Marsh Landing Country Club

Ponte Vedra Beach · Intracoastal side

Marsh Landing is Ponte Vedra's nature play: an Ed Seay course (with Arnold Palmer's design firm) routed in 1986 to preserve the oak hammock and Intracoastal marsh, regularly rated among North Florida's top courses, inside the only Ponte Vedra Beach community with homes directly on the Intracoastal Waterway. Harbour Island's deep-water docks, the community marina, two guard gates, and a genuinely neighborly calendar — a July 4th parade, food-truck Fridays — give it a different texture than its tournament-famous neighbors.

The club changed hands in 2022 in a first-of-its-kind deal: homeowners themselves voted 92% to bring in Concert Golf Partners, securing about $7M in reinvestment — a renovated clubhouse, re-grassed range, ten Har-Tru courts, resort pool. Membership stays optional and separate from the HOA. Homes run from about 2,000 to over 22,000 sq ft; actives typically $1.25M to $5.5M+, with water-to-golf lots at the top.

The Plantation at Ponte Vedra Beach

Ponte Vedra Beach · south A1A

The Plantation is the only major Ponte Vedra golf community where the deed IS the membership: buying one of its ~560 homes automatically makes you a full equity member — no waitlist, no à-la-carte tiers, and amenity costs shared by 100% of owners. The club side is an Arnold Palmer/Ed Seay 18 (par 72, ~6,900 yards), croquet lawn, tennis, fitness, and clubhouse dining on a manicured gated campus.

The closer is the Beach House: a private ~4,000 sq ft oceanfront club with a junior-Olympic pool and private beach walkover, a short drive from the gates — country-club-all-the-time living that skews polished, quiet, and second-home-friendly alongside families. Estate homes run roughly 2,800–6,000+ sq ft with garden homes below them; actives currently span about $1.8M to $5.9M.

Old Ponte Vedra & the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club

Ponte Vedra Beach · Ponte Vedra Blvd

Old Ponte Vedra is the original fabric of the town — canopy streets with no gates, 1960s ranches on large lots steadily giving way to 4,000+ sq ft new construction, everything walkable to both the beach and the club that started it all. The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club (1928) is Florida's most prestigious club address: by club lore, the Ocean Course's par-3 9th was the first island green ever built — 52 years before Dye's 17th across A1A — and the course was slated to host the 1939 Ryder Cup before the war intervened.

Both courses are freshly renewed — an ~$8M Bobby Weed overhaul of the Ocean Course and a 2023 rebuild of every Lagoon Course green — and membership is its own commitment: initiation reported near $120K with a multi-year waitlist (junior members under 35 defer half). The real estate is blue-chip legacy money; the handful of actives at any moment typically run from the high $1Ms well past $3.5M.

Frequently asked questions

Does buying a home at TPC Sawgrass include club membership?

No — this is the most common misconception in Ponte Vedra real estate. Sawgrass Players Club homes surround TPC Sawgrass, but the courses are PGA TOUR-operated resort courses: anyone can book the Stadium Course, and private membership tiers (initiation reported $50K–$75K) are an entirely separate, optional purchase.

Which Ponte Vedra Beach community includes golf membership with the home?

Only The Plantation at Ponte Vedra Beach — buying one of its ~560 homes automatically confers full equity membership in the club, including the Arnold Palmer course and the private oceanfront Beach House. Everywhere else in Ponte Vedra, the club is a separate application, fee, and sometimes waitlist.

How much does the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club cost to join?

Reported figures put initiation around $120,000 with annual dues by category and a multi-year waitlist; members under 35 can defer half the initiation. It is widely considered Florida's most prestigious club membership — and it is entirely separate from owning a home in Old Ponte Vedra.

What is the difference between Sawgrass Country Club and TPC Sawgrass?

Sawgrass Country Club is the original — the oceanside community east of A1A whose Ed Seay course hosted THE PLAYERS from 1977–1981. TPC Sawgrass, across the road inside Sawgrass Players Club, is the Pete Dye Stadium Course built for the tournament in 1980, where it has been played ever since. They are separate clubs, separate communities, and separate membership decisions.

Can non-members play golf in Ponte Vedra Beach?

Yes — TPC Sawgrass is the headline: both the Stadium Course and Dye's Valley take public resort bookings (peak Stadium rates run $450+). The private clubs — Sawgrass Country Club, Marsh Landing, The Plantation, and the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club — are member-and-guest only.
