The World Golf Hall of Fame celebrates golf and preserves the legacies of 164 of the greatest players and contributors to the game from around the world through stories of the achievements and experiences of the Hall of Fame members. Past inductees include Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones and Tiger Woods. The Mission is to preserve and honor the history of the game of golf and the legacies of those who have made it great.
Opened in St. Augustine, Florida in 1998, WGHF has been the focal point for the celebration of the past, present and future of the great game of golf and has served as a steward of the game through engaging interactive storytelling and exhibitions featuring artifacts, works of art, audio, video and photography significant to the history of golf and it's members. This September the World Golf Hall of Fame closed its doors at the World Golf Village and is relocating to Pinehurst, North Carolina. The next induction ceremony will be held on June 10, 2024 ceremony in Pinehurst. While the Hall of Fame will be relocating from the World Golf Village, the legends who have been honored here will forever remain in our memories and in the spirit in which we play the game.
The resort stands as a splendid and diverse homage to the sport of golf. At the heart of the village, a serene lake takes center stage, encircled by a 1.2-mile brick Walk of Champions. Along this picturesque path, each celebrated individual is commemorated with a substantial flagstone bearing their name and an enduring symbol etched into the stone. On the lake's western perimeter, you'll find a theater, a charming café, and a soaring 110-foot monument. To the north, the village plays host to an array of shops at the World Golf Village, while to the south, the Renaissance Hotel and convention center proudly stand. Further enhancing the experience are the village's exceptional golfing offerings, including the acclaimed King & Bear and the Slammer & Squire courses, both of which have earned an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars rating from Golf Digest.
This is the only course in the world that was co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. It features a mix of styles, the front 9 being an open links-style layout while the back 9 are more typical of traditional Florida golf, with loblolly pines, old oak trees, indigenous coquina rock, and water features. This course is more of a “drivers’ course,” playing to Palmer’s and Nicklaus’ strengths as golfers.
This course, crafted with contributions from golfing legends Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, boasts a design that begins its journey beneath a remarkable tower. Nestled amidst the region's unspoiled woodlands and wetlands, the course unfolds with an inviting layout, featuring undulating greens and a sprinkling of water elements.
The PGA Tour Academy at the World Golf Villages was the first of its kind when it opened in 2000 and has become a highly respected institution, well known throughout the country.
