Explore the history of Florida, then hit the beaches to cool off.

Situated near the nation's oldest city of St. Augustine on Florida's sunny east coast is Grand Villas at World Golf Village®, a beautiful resort featuring well-appointed 1- and 2-bedroom villas with all the comforts of home for you and your family. This historic area, known for its European charm and Spanish colonial architecture, is also home to the World Golf Hall of Fame® adjacent to the resort.

A vacation at Grande Villas offers something for everyone. With 43 miles of white-sand beaches nearby, you could choose to enjoy a day of fun-in-the sun splashing in the waters of the blue Atlantic. History buffs will want to explore the narrow cobblestone streets of this former Spanish colonial town, where nearly 5 centuries of history collide in the best way with quaint cafes, inviting bars and restaurants, charming bed and breakfasts, shops, art galleries and more. Ponce De Leon's legendary Fountain of Youth was discovered here near Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the U.S. built by the Spanish in 1672 to protect the city from pirate raids.

St. Augustine is also a mecca for golfers, so don't forget to pack your clubs and take advantage of two championship 18-hole courses designed by legendary golf pros Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. And that’s just for starters. There’s plenty to do for non-golfers, as well. Practice your backhand on the tennis courts, shoot some hoops on the basketball court, perfect your spike at the volleyball net or pump some iron in the fitness center. After you’ve worked up a sweat, cool down with some leisurely laps in the spectacular heated resort pool, or relax in the hot tub.

All of the World Golf Village® amenities are also yours to enjoy. Restaurants, shopping, an IMAX® theater and the World Golf Hall of Fame® are just a short walk away. And be sure to try out the interactive putting greens at the Hall of Fame.
