The most private, club-centered lifestyle in Ponte Vedra. A guard-gated golf community around an Arnold Palmer course, with its own oceanfront beach club.
The Plantation at Ponte Vedra Beach is a private, guard-gated golf-and-beach community of custom homes, built from 1989 onward around an Arnold Palmer–designed course. It is gated within gated in feel: quiet streets, larger lots, Mizner-influenced architecture, and a membership that centers on golf, tennis, and dining.
The beach club is the differentiator. Unlike most golf communities, The Plantation has its own oceanfront beach club — so members get both the golf-club life and a private beach, without leaving the community.
It is the smallest, most private of the big Ponte Vedra club communities, and it trades variety for that privacy. There is less turnover here than in Sawgrass or Marsh Landing, and homes are almost entirely large custom single-family homes. If you want a club to be your social center, this is the one to look at first.
