World Golf Village Renaissance Resort
According to the U.S. Golf Association, the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine will close in late 2023 and relocate to Pinehurst, North Carolina. It was founded in 1974 in Pinehurst and moved to St. Augustine in 1998 as the centerpiece of the World Golf Village resort community. The World Golf Hall of Fame will reopen in 2024 at Golf House Pinehurst, a new USGA campus with administrative offices and a testing and research facility.
The World Golf Village Renaissance Resort has one golf course, designed by architect Bobby Weed and Hall of Fame members Sam "The Slammer" Snead and Gene "The Squire" Sarazen. It features 36 challenging holes of championship golf. The golf course is known for its tricky par-3 holes and the beauty of the landscape.
Its traditional layout meanders through native flatwoods, running alongside wetland preserves and wildlife habitats. The breathtaking Slammer & Squire Course features contoured greens and gently rolling fairways. There is also a lot of water on the golf course in the form of lakes and marshes. The golf course was built in 1998.
Florida
By far, Jacksonville has the most golf courses when it comes to Florida. It is home to some of the most famous and recognizable golf courses, including the No. 2 public course in the state and the No. 11 public course in America – the Players Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass. There are over 70 golf courses throughout Jacksonville, from the historic Donald Ross-designed Hyde Park to semi-private and resort courses designed by numerous modern golf's top architects.
Undoubtedly, Palm Beach is the golf capital of Florida. It has more golf courses than any other state in the country, more specifically, over 160.

From the famous PGA National Golf Resort to the municipal course designed by none other than resident Jack Nicklaus, there is something in Palm Beach for every golfer, regardless of their skill level. Playing golf in Palm Beach is accessible to those who are on a budget, too, so this destination should be on the bucket list of every golfer.
