Ponte Vedra Inn & Club Resort
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida - 904-273-7710 www.pvresorts.com/PVR-FrameSets/InnFrameSets/f-PVICProfile.html The Lagoon Course is a 5,574 par 70 masterpiece created by two design geniuses - Robert Trent Jones and Joe Lee. The course, although not especially long, demands controlled and accurate shotmaking - all fourteen clubs are required here. Water is definitely the dominant feature with a mosaic of lakes and lagoons threatening golfers on eleven holes. Tall pines, palms and ancient, sprawling oaks form the contours of this lushly landscaped course. Fairways are narrow, but kept in immaculate condition, and the greens, perfectly manicured, are small and fast. Designed in 1928 by famed British architect, Herbert Bertram Strong, the Par 72, 6,574-yard Ocean Course represents the area's first resort golf experience. Lacking earth moving equipment, Strong used 100 mules dragging slip pans to shape course contours, dredge lagoons and build up a series of earthen mounds that dot the fairways creating dramatic undulations. Praises have followed the Ocean Course from the very beginning. In 1939, the Ocean Course was selected as the host for the prestigious Ryder Cup Matches. Unfortunately, just months prior to the scheduled event, it was cancelled due to the onset of World War II. In 1942, after completing a match, golf legend Bobby Jones commented, "it's a course to challenge professionals." Five times in its history, the Ocean Course has proudly served as the site for the U.S. Open qualifying round. 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 place a demand on thoughtful and accurate approach shots.
