Precision's more important than power on Ponte Vedra Inn and Club's Lagoon Course in northeast Florida
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The Lagoon Course at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club is tiny by modern standards, but to be fair, the golf course does play longer than the scorecard. For example, there are some long par 5s that help offset some short par 4s and par 3s. For the mostly older set that stalks the Lagoon's fairways, that's more than enough.
The Lagoon will not be a ton of fun for young bucks who like to bomb away with the driver, though there are some holes where the big stick is essential, like the longer par 5s. But, it is a course that will test your shot-making skills and short game. It is beautifully bunkered and water is almost literally everywhere, sometimes in places you might not expect it. It requires precision and thought. The new greens, with mini-Verde, are nicely contoured, some with dramatic slope, multiple tiers and false fronts.
The Lagoon is also an eye-pleaser. With all the palm trees, water and coquina, you might think you were in south Florida.
The course is open to members and guests staying at the resort.
