Scotland may be the birthplace of golf, but Florida is where it lives year round. Rich in history and rooted in tradition, golf remains popular today and that rich history is uniquely chronicled at the World Golf Hall of Fame where legendary players are honored and exhibits pay homage to the tradition of a great game.

Nestled between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, just minutes from Florida First Coast beaches, the World Golf Hall of Fame is the centerpiece of the World Golf Village, a 6,300-acre golf mecca and premier vacation destination.

Opened in 1998, the World Golf Hall of Fame was developed as an educational tool imparting the values taught by golf – honesty, integrity, sportsmanship – through instruction, inspiration, and just plain fun. Today it stands to recognize and celebrate golf's greatest players and contributors. It has become the ultimate destination for golfers and fans and serves as an inspiration to the golfing world.
