The Approach Shot

TPC Sawgrass Ponte Vedra

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club Ocean Course

Historic coastal resort golf

The Ocean Course is not trying to outmuscle Stadium. Good. It gives the trip history, resort polish, and a calmer day. If the group is staying at Ponte Vedra Inn, it belongs in the rotation.
