North-east Florida fits four quite different golf stops into roughly 85 miles of coast, all reached from Jacksonville International. TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Vedra Beach is the PGA Tour’s home, and its Stadium Course, where The Players is staged each March, takes bookings from anyone. World Golf Village, outside St Augustine, has two Troon-run public courses with prices that move daily and a 30-day booking window. The other two are resort rounds. Oak Marsh at Omni Amelia Island, the Pete Dye layout from 1972 rebuilt in 2025, is kept for hotel and villa guests and club members. The Nicklaus Ocean Course at Hammock Beach in Palm Coast is listed as open to resort guests, members and their guests. This page sets out who can book what, what each fee covers and how long the drives are.

The Stadium Course, Pete Dye’s 1980 design and the setting for the island-green 17th, which measures only about 137 yards. Summer rounds cost US$550 against US$775 from September, and the clubhouse runs free tours on the hour.
Green fees & bookingKing & Bear, the one course Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus designed together, with Slammer & Squire a short drive away. Tee times for either go on sale online 30 days ahead, from US$75 with a cart.

All Jacksonville & Amelia Island golf packages on Golfbreaks
Only two of the four venues publish a price. On the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass a round costs US$550 a player from June to August and US$775 from September to May, covering a shared cart, a forecaddie for the group and a bag of range balls; add a forecaddie tip of at least US$40 each. World Golf Village moves its rates daily, from US$75 on Slammer & Squire and US$79 on King & Bear up to US$249, with cart and range balls in the price. Oak Marsh and the Hammock Beach Ocean Course have no standalone fee, so price the room and the round together.
Jacksonville International (JAX) serves all four, and a hire car is essential. Omni Amelia Island is about 30 miles away, roughly 40 minutes. TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Vedra Beach is about 40 minutes by road, World Golf Village around 45 minutes south at exit 323 on I-95, and Hammock Beach about an hour and a half down the same interstate at Palm Coast. Fly into Daytona Beach (DAB) instead and Hammock Beach is only 35 miles off. St Augustine works best as one base for three of them: World Golf Village is 20 minutes away, TPC Sawgrass about half an hour and Hammock Beach around 40 minutes.
The kindest weather here falls from February to May and again from October to December, and spring brings the fullest tee sheets. The Players takes over in mid-March, when the Stadium Course is closed or limited and dynamic pricing lifts the fee, so plan around tournament week unless you are going to watch. Sawgrass Marriott stay-and-play guests can book a year out, against 14 days for everyone else. Summer is hot and humid with afternoon storms, but it is the cheap season at TPC Sawgrass and World Golf Village. Hammock Beach has published 2027 aerification closures for 21–25 June and 16–20 August, and hurricane season runs June to November.
The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass takes direct bookings up to 14 days ahead, with Dye’s Valley next door from US$250, and World Golf Village’s King & Bear and Slammer & Squire sell times 30 days out. Oak Marsh at Omni Amelia Island is for resort guests and club members, and Hammock Beach’s Ocean Course is listed for resort guests and members.
Not on Oak Marsh, whose tee times go to Omni and Villas of Amelia Island guests and Amelia Island Club golf members. Amelia River Club and the town course, Fernandina Beach Golf Club, are the options for non-guests. Long Point, Tom Fazio’s 1987 course, belongs to club members first.
At TPC Sawgrass only with a walking caddie, bookable September to May at US$130–160 for a single bag or US$85–115 a player for a double, reserved 48 hours ahead. World Golf Village arranges caddies and US$30 forecaddies through CaddieMaster with 72 hours’ notice.
It is about 85 miles, an hour and a half on I-95, but tee times generally need a resort stay, so treat it as a separate two- or three-night leg. Pair the Ocean Course with Tom Watson’s Conservatory Course, a few minutes inland, which has an island-green par-three 8th.
Staying at the Sawgrass Marriott opens TPC Sawgrass’s 12-month booking window. For both venues, St Augustine sits about 30 minutes from Ponte Vedra Beach and 20 minutes from World Golf Village, and the Renaissance inside the village is the closest bed to Slammer & Squire.
