Golf

Golf is a passion here in Jacksonville. With almost 60 courses and 1,100 holes in the seven-county area, the region is a golfer’s paradise.

Every May, the biggest stars in the sport show up for the annual Tournament Players Championship, (known as the Players,) held at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Not only do golf legends live and play here, they’ve designed some of the courses as well, including Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, who together designed the King & Bear course at World Golf Village. For a look back at the sport’s history, visit the village’s World Golf Hall of Fame.
