The Complete Sawgrass Players Club Guide. (2026)

Executive Summary

Sawgrass Players Club is a gated Ponte Vedra Beach community west of A1A, home to TPC Sawgrass, the PGA Tour Headquarters, and the Players Championship. Developed by Arvida in the 1980s, it spans about 1,200 acres and nearly 1,900 residences across 16 subdivisions, from condos and townhomes to million-dollar homes on the Stadium Course, in one of the top-rated school districts in Florida.

The range is wide, with condos and townhomes at the entry end and luxury golf-course estates at the top, so the subdivision and the home define the price. This is the heart of Ponte Vedra golf, minutes from the ocean.

The draw is the prestige of living inside TPC Sawgrass with gated security and a range of homes. The trade-offs are HOA and membership structures to confirm and coastal insurance.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

The start of the Ponte Vedra boom

Arvida developed the two Sawgrass communities in the 1980s, and the Players Club, west of A1A, helped start the construction boom in Ponte Vedra Beach. The PGA Tour chose the area for a permanent home for its championship, and TPC Sawgrass became one of the best-known golf facilities in the world.

Home of the Players Championship

The TPC Stadium Course, rated among the best in Florida, hosts the Players Championship every year, with its famous 17th island green. The community also holds the Dye's Valley Course and the Ponte Vedra Golf & Country Club course, plus the PGA Tour Headquarters, all behind the gates.

Neighborhoods & Areas

Sawgrass Players Club is really 16 subdivisions, and the subdivision defines the home.

Salt Creek, Oakbridge, Cypress Creek, The Coves

The largest subdivisions, ranging from larger single-family homes to a mix of home types and the community pool in The Coves.

Condos, townhomes, and patio homes

Players Club Villas and patio-home enclaves like Turtleback Crossing offer lower-maintenance entry points.

Stadium Course homes and Vicars Landing

Million-dollar homes line the Stadium Course, and Vicars Landing is a retirement community within the gates.

Real Estate Market

Sawgrass Players Club has one of the widest ranges in Ponte Vedra, from condos and townhomes through patio homes and single-family homes to million-dollar properties on the Stadium Course. Pricing depends heavily on the subdivision, the home, and the golf or water view, and the prestige of TPC Sawgrass supports demand across the board.

Pools and parks

A community pool in The Coves and several subdivision pools serve residents, with Players Park in Oakbridge offering a playground, basketball, and volleyball.

Ponte Vedra Beach

The Sawgrass Marriott, the Ponte Vedra Beach Town Center, and the ocean are right across A1A.

HOA, CDD & Costs

Sawgrass Players Club has HOA structures that maintain the gates and common areas, and individual subdivisions can carry their own dues. Golf, tennis, and club access are separate memberships with their own costs. Confirm the current HOA dues, what they include, and any membership options for a specific home in writing, and model them into the all-in monthly cost.

Insurance is the other cost to confirm. The Ponte Vedra Beach location means wind and any flood exposure matter, so confirm the roof age, the flood zone, the wind-mitigation features, and get quotes early for any specific home.

Pros and Cons

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

The subdivision is everything

With 16 subdivisions from condos to estates, the subdivision sets the price, the dues, and the lifestyle. Pin down the right one first.

Memberships are separate

Living inside TPC Sawgrass is not the same as golf or club membership. Confirm what access a purchase includes and what membership costs.

Tournament week

The Players Championship brings crowds and traffic to A1A each spring. Some residents love it, others plan around it.
