Wedding Venue

TPC Sawgrass

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach is one of the most iconic golf courses in the world, home to The Players Championship and the famous island-green 17th hole. The clubhouse and its surrounding manicured fairways provide a premier private event setting for weddings and receptions in the Jacksonville area. The clubhouse ballroom and outdoor veranda accommodate receptions from 50 to 350 guests with views of the 18th hole and the course's pristine water features. TPC Sawgrass pairs elite golf heritage with Forbes-level hospitality, delivering a wedding experience with a prestige factor that few venues in Northeast Florida can match. Preferred vendor lists and full catering services are provided in-house.

Pick a day and I'll work out the light for it — sunset here, when golden hour opens, and the ceremony time that puts you inside it.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from JACKSONVILLE BEACH, 6.2 miles away.
