The Homes & Style
Hammock Cove is essentially one loop, Burnham Circle, in The Coves area near the Solana Road gate of Sawgrass Players Club, the gated TPC Sawgrass community west of A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach, ZIP 32082. It is 64 detached single-family homes per the master association, built by ICI Homes between 1988 and 1996, running roughly 1,951 to 3,021 square feet across single-story and two-story plans. Most homes sit on waterways overlooking the Dye Valley course, the signature water-to-golf exposure here.
Because the houses are 30-to-38 years old in coastal air, condition drives price more than anything else, and the documented spread between dated and renovated on this circle is enormous: one home closed at $707,500 dated in July 2024 and resold fully renovated at $1,180,000 in April 2025, per third-party records. Inspect like the vintage it is, roof, windows, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, ask for permit history on renovations, and price the view and the renovation level honestly. Note some third-party sources count 57 homes rather than 64, so confirm the plat in diligence.
Living Here
The daily rhythm is the TPC life from the community's quietest corner: errands out the Solana Road gate, the Players Pool at the neighborhood entrance, the beach minutes across A1A, Sawgrass Village near the main gate, and Mayo Clinic about fifteen to twenty minutes away. The master association adds staffed gates, parks, playgrounds, ball fields, basketball, and miles of sidewalks through the Players Club.
Living inside the gates is not the same as club membership. Golf and club access at TPC Sawgrass, The Yards, or Sawgrass Country Club across A1A are separate, optional memberships with their own pricing, so confirm current categories, initiation, and dues directly with each club. The other reality of the address is THE PLAYERS each spring: crowds and A1A traffic for a week. Hammock Cove's Solana Road position helps with daily logistics, but you are still living inside one of golf's biggest events; most residents call it a fair trade.
Before You Offer
A specific due-diligence list for a small, established sub-association inside a gated golf community.
- The fee stack — confirm the current Hammock Cove assessment, the second association line, and the Sawgrass Players Club master assessment, and exactly what each covers, in writing. There is no CDD.
- Flood and insurance — lagoons thread the community and most homes sit on water; pull the FEMA designation for the exact lot and get a real quote inside your inspection window.
- Roof and systems — on a 1988-to-1996 home, confirm roof, windows, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical vintage; roof age drives the Florida premium.
- Permit history — ask for permits on any renovation, since the dated-versus-renovated spread is wide here.
- Internet — confirm service options for the specific street.
- Reserves and covenants — read the Hammock Cove reserve picture and the 2024 amended covenants, plus the master association rules.
- School zoning — confirm the current St. Johns assignment by address with the district.
Hammock Cove vs. Comparable Communities
The honest comparison is against the other neighborhoods inside and around Sawgrass Players Club, each with a different price, product, and exposure.
| Community | The trade-off |
|---|---|
| Sawgrass Players Club | The parent community as a whole offers a wider range of sections and price points; Hammock Cove is the scarce, 64-home water-to-golf loop within it, near the Solana gate. |
| Players Club Villas | An attached, lower-maintenance way into the same gates and schools; Hammock Cove trades up to detached single-family homes with water and golf views. |
| Sawgrass Country Club | Across A1A with its own club, golf, and beach amenities at a membership premium; Hammock Cove keeps the Players Club gates and schools without an on-site club obligation. |
The verdict: if you want a scarce detached home on water with golf views, the Players Club gates, and top St. Johns schools, Hammock Cove is the buy, on the right home, at the right condition. If you want a turnkey villa or an on-site club, the alternatives above are the field to shop, by priority and budget.
Who It Fits
Hammock Cove fits if you want
- A scarce detached home on water with views over the Dye Valley course.
- The gated Sawgrass Players Club setting near the quiet Solana gate.
- Top-rated St. Johns County schools in the Ponte Vedra feeder pattern.
- The beach minutes across A1A and Sawgrass Village close by.
- An established neighborhood where renovating a dated home can pay off.
Consider elsewhere if you want
- New construction; this stock is from 1988 to 1996.
- On-site golf or club access included with the home, rather than separate memberships.
- A simple, single flat fee rather than a Hammock Cove plus master fee stack.
- To avoid THE PLAYERS crowds and A1A traffic each spring.
- Low coastal maintenance; budget roof, windows, and systems honestly.
