The Homes & Style
Sawgrass Country Club is a luxury market with a notably wide range, driven by its variety of housing and its rare east-of-A1A, beach-access position. Recent inventory has carried an average asking price in the low-to-mid $1 millions, with listings running from condos and townhomes around $700,000 up to estates and oceanfront properties past $3 million. Because the housing mix is so broad, headline averages move with whatever segment is selling.
Demand is driven by the beach access, the gated security, the 27 holes of golf, the top St. Johns County schools, and the prestige of a Ponte Vedra Beach address, with a healthy share of second-home owners, retirees, and luxury buyers alongside buyers. The membership being optional and tiered means buyers can right-size their club commitment, which broadens the buyer pool versus a mandatory-membership community. Most homes are resales given the 1972-2005 build era, so condition and updating drive value within each village. For sellers, the beach access and membership flexibility are strong selling points; for buyers, matching the home, village, and membership tier to your needs is key.
For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. In a market this varied, with everything from $700K condos to $3M-plus estates, in-community comps matter far more than any community-wide average.
Sawgrass Country Club is a collection of distinct villages and condo communities, each with its own layout and style, wrapped around the golf courses, lagoons, and marsh. The housing variety is wide, which gives the community a broader range of price points than most luxury gated enclaves.
Inside the gates there are several condo communities offering low-maintenance living close to the ocean, with views of the golf course, marsh, lagoon, and woods. These provide the most accessible entry into the Sawgrass address and are popular with second-home owners, retirees, and those wanting a lock-and-leave coastal property. Floor plans tend to be similar one- and two-story units.
The core of the community is garden homes and single-family residences, many on golf-course, lagoon, or marsh lots. Smaller neighborhoods like Sandpiper Cove offer water-to-golf views, and homes across the community range widely in size, roughly 1,348 to over 6,500 square feet, built between 1972 and 2005, so condition and updating vary by home and village.
At the top sit estate homes on premium lots, and across Ponte Vedra Boulevard the oceanfront strip holds six luxury condominium developments along roughly 1,600 feet of private coastline at the Sawgrass Beach Club. These oceanfront condos command the highest coastal premiums in the community.
Living Here
Sawgrass Country Club's amenities split into two tiers: what every resident gets through the HOA, and what requires a separate club membership. Understanding the split is essential.
All residents, through their homeowners association, get community pool access and beach access, plus the gated security, wide sidewalks, neighborhood pools, and parks. As a homeowner you are permitted to walk across to the Sawgrass beach access at the ocean, a genuine benefit of the east-of-A1A location, without holding a full club membership.
The member-owned country club centers on 27 holes of championship golf, arranged as three nine-hole courses, woven through the community. Club membership, which is optional and offered in several tiers, adds access to the golf courses, the 13 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, the fitness center with a lap pool, multiple pools, and clubhouse dining and social events. Membership options include golf, social, and guest categories, so buyers can choose the level that fits.
Separately located across Ponte Vedra Boulevard in its own gated entrance is the oceanfront Sawgrass Beach Club, a roughly 24,000-square-foot facility along about 1,600 feet of private coastline, with two pools, oceanview dining, lounge seating, and social space, alongside six condominium developments. Full Beach Club privileges come through club membership, giving members a private oceanfront amenity, a rare pairing with a golf community.
Sawgrass Country Club's location puts retail and dining right at the gate. Directly across A1A is the Sawgrass Village shopping area and the newer Ponte Vedra Town Center, with a Publix, shops, and restaurants, close enough that residents routinely cross by golf cart for dinner or errands.
Within the community, the country club and the oceanfront Beach Club offer member dining, including oceanview dining at the Beach Club. The wider Ponte Vedra Beach dining scene along A1A is minutes away, and historic St. Augustine's nationally known restaurants are about 30 minutes south. The combination of a gated, beach-access community with walkable, bikeable retail across the street is a core part of the Sawgrass Country Club appeal.
A few things that consistently come up once buyers get serious about Sawgrass Country Club.
Sawgrass Country Club is the only full gated community east of A1A, which is why residents can walk or cart to the ocean. That coastal position is the single biggest differentiator from the Players Club and most other gated golf communities, and it is reflected in the price and demand.
A point buyers miss: your HOA dues already include community pool and beach access, so you do not need a full club membership just to enjoy the beach. Golf, tennis, fitness, and the full Beach Club require a separate, optional, tiered membership. Decide what you actually want before committing.
The most common mistake is conflating Sawgrass Country Club with the Sawgrass Players Club (TPC Sawgrass). They are separate communities on opposite sides of A1A with different clubs. Always confirm which side of A1A a listing is on.
With homes built from 1972 to 2005 across many distinct villages and condo communities, condition and updating vary widely. Some condos have dated, similar floor plans. Inspect carefully and price to the specific home and village, not the Sawgrass name alone.
Before You Offer
Separate the association from the club. Sawgrass has a mandatory community association for the gate and grounds and a member-owned club for golf, tennis, fitness, and the beach; confirm the current dues and membership requirements, which are central to buying here.
Match the product to your plans. The community spans single-family homes, patio homes, condos, and townhomes; for any attached or condo product, read the association budget, reserves, and any assessments under Florida's newer condo rules.
Confirm frontage and section, since golf, lagoon, and preserve frontage carry premiums and different upkeep across the community's villages.
On older homes, budget for systems, roof, and pool age, and get an insurance quote given the coastal location.
Sawgrass vs. Comparable Ponte Vedra Communities
Sawgrass Country Club's peers are the other gated club communities of Ponte Vedra. Against the adjacent Sawgrass Players Club, the Country Club is a separate, member-owned club with its own 27 holes and direct beach access, while the Players Club is tied to the TPC and resort. Against Marsh Landing, Sawgrass offers a wider mix of condos and patio homes plus oceanfront beach access, while Marsh Landing leans toward larger single-family estates.
Against The Plantation, Sawgrass trades a smaller, more exclusive enclave for scale, a wider range of price points, and a 5-Star Platinum club. The honest shorthand: pick Sawgrass for a member-owned club with beach access and varied product; pick Marsh Landing or The Plantation for a more uniformly single-family estate setting.
Who Sawgrass Fits Best
Sawgrass Country Club fits buyers who want a member-owned gated country club with 27 holes of golf, a major tennis program, and direct Atlantic beach access in Ponte Vedra Beach, anyone who values a wide range of product from condos to estates inside one club, and members-focused buyers near the Southside job centers.
Sawgrass Country Club is a weaker fit buyers who want the lowest carrying cost or no club membership, those set on new construction, anyone seeking a uniformly single-family estate community, or buyers who want a non-gated neighborhood.
