Sawgrass Country Club is within a gated community in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It’s an easy 20-minute drive to downtown Jacksonville, and about 2 hours from Orlando.
There’s a cap for the total number of memberships, so you’ll have to join the wait list when you apply for membership. You don’t have to be a resident in the Sawgrass community to join, as perhaps a third of all the members live outside the community. If you do plan on becoming a resident here, the houses cost anywhere from $350,000 to $2.5 million.
The regular Country Club Membership offers access to all facilities, with options for an Individual or Family membership. The initiation fee is reportedly near $50,000 with dues of perhaps $1,000 per month. That’s not counting the food minimum of $450 a year for an individual and $750 for families.
A Junior Country Club Membership is also available for those between 23 and 39 years of age. The Junior members also enjoy full access with reduced dues. There are also temporary guest memberships available for those who have leased a property owned by a current club member.
Once you do become a member, you will have access to 27 holes of championship golf. For tennis fans, there are 13 Har-Tru tennis courts here. You should also try out the fitness center with its equipment for cardio and weight training, along with a heated lap pool.
Then you should also come by the oceanfront beach club with the adult lounging pool and the resort-style family pool. It offers an Oasis deck and a covered pavilion, along with oceanfront restaurants and dining decks.
The atmosphere here is decidedly relaxed, unlike the stuffy vibes that you might feel in more prestigious country clubs. The club offers many family-friendly activities, including kids’ nights out on weekends and child care while the parents are using the facilities. There are also after school and summer camp recreational programs.
All in all, it’s a relaxing hubbub of friendly social gatherings, with lots of families enjoying themselves. There’s very little posturing here, as everyone is just determined to have some fun.
