WHERE TO PLAY
>> Ponte Vedra Inn & Club (Ocean): Dating to 1928, Herbert Strong’s layout near the Atlantic Ocean hosted the 1939 Ryder Cup. And the 157-yard 9th has one of the first island greens ever built.
>> St. Johns Golf & Country Club: This 7,236-yard semi-private layout is an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary, making a round a welcome North Florida golf experience.
>> World Golf Village (King & Bear): The only course designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus features numerous hazards and the finishing stretch—two long par 4s followed by a par 5—is memorable. The Village has another layout, Slammer & Squire.
WHERE TO STAY
>> Casa Monica: First opened in 1888, this majestic hotel in the heart of downtown was renovated 10 years ago and the distinctive Moorish Revival architecture shines once again.
>> Ponte Vedra Inn & Club: Now a Florida landmark, this resort has been enticing visitors to its oceanfront rooms and sun-splashed amenities for more than 80 years.
>> Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village: Having just completed a $10 million renovation, this 10-story atrium hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the Hall of Fame.
WHERE TO EAT
>> Opus 39: The work of local artists on the walls changes as frequently as chef Michael McMillan’s menu, so diners never tire of return trips to this eatery in the historic district.
>> Reef: One of the few truly oceanfront restaurants in northeast Florida, the Reef features simply elegant dishes like pecan-crusted mahi mahi.
>> 95 Cordova: Complementing the New World, Middle Eastern and Asian dishes at this restaurant in the Casa Monica is the décor: lavish antiques, silk fabrics and hand-painted 24-karat gold ceilings.
