Swing into St. Augustine: Your Home Base for The PLAYERS Championship & More
A Front‑Row Seat to Golf’s Greatest Show
If you’re planning a getaway around THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, you couldn’t pick a better home base than our cheerful 3‑bedroom bungalow in West Augustine. The PLAYERS took place March 12–15, 2026, on the iconic Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, just a short drive south of us (en.wikipedia.org). Come 2027, the tournament returns March 9–12, so you can plan ahead for next spring’s excitement (visitstaugustine.com).
Why West Augustine Works
You’ll be tucked into a peaceful, fully fenced home where kids and pups can roam safely after a day of spectating. Downtown’s historic charm, seafood spots, and local shops are minutes away—so you get the best of both worlds: golf thrills by day, cozy home evenings by night.
More Than Just the Pros
If you’re looking for something a little more local or laid-back, St. Augustine hosts several great golf events:
-
St. Augustine Amateur – Held each December at St. Johns Golf Club, this 54‑hole stroke‑play tournament brings top amateur talent to town from December 4–6, 2026 (staugustineamateur.com).
-
St. Augustine Shootout for Students – July 31 to August 2, 2026, this event at World Golf Village’s King & Bear course (with an optional round at TPC Sawgrass on August 3) supports youth financial literacy through The Giboney Foundation (thegiboneyfoundation.org).
-
WSGA Senior Women’s Championship – Scheduled for October 5–7, 2026 at the King & Bear course, this amateur event welcomes senior women golfers with a handicap limit and awards the Katherine Graham Senior Trophy (womens-southerngolfassociation.org).
-
Charity Golf Benefit – On May 11, 2026, Catholic Charities hosts a scramble-style golf tournament at the Palencia Club to support emergency assistance programs in St. Johns County (visitstaugustine.com).
After the Final Round: Home Sweet Home
After a day on the course or watching the pros, return to your home-away-from-home to unwind. Roast marshmallows in the fenced yard, gather around the living room, or enjoy a sunset moment on the patio—just steps from comfort.
