Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort sold in joint venture acquisition near TPC Sawgrass Stadium course

Joint venture to purchase 66-acre resort adjacent to the iconic TPC Sawgrass Stadium course

South Street Partners, a leading private equity investment and development firm headquartered in Charlotte and Charleston; Dream Finders Homes, a nationally recognized homebuilder headquartered in Jacksonville and the official homebuilder of the PGA TOUR; Pat Battle, executive chairman of Diamond Baseball Holdings and former chairman and CEO of IMG College (formerly: Collegiate LicensingCompany); and select joint venture equity partners (the “JV”) have acquired the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa (“Property” or “Resort”) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The property is located on approximately 66 acres adjacent to the iconic PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, an irreplaceable golf destination that has hosted THE PLAYERS Championship annually since 1982, and just minutes from the newly completed PGA TOUR Global Home and PGA TOUR Studios. The acquisition financing was provided by the affiliated funds of BDT & MSD Partners.

Located just three miles from Ponte Vedra Beach, the resort consists of 351 hotel keys, 163 villa keys, approximately 114,000 square feet of meeting space, nine on-site food and beverage outlets, a 25,000-square-foot full-service spa and fitness center and the two-acre oceanfront Cabana Beach Club, which includes the popular 700-member Ocean Bar & Rooftop built in 1912. The JV will focus on significantly improving the resort offering, with plans for an extensive renovation. In addition, guests staying at the resort are entitled to book tee times up to 12 months in advance at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course and Dye’s Valley Course, TPC Sawgrass’ two championship golf courses designed by Pete Dye.

“The acquisition of Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa perfectly complements our existing hotel portfolio of exceptional properties located in fast-growing, southeastern markets with A+ locations,” said Henry Armistead, managing director of South Street Partners. “Together with our investment partners, we are delighted that this incredible asset will be the first investment for South Street’s SSP GP Fund II.”

Known as the jewel of Florida’s historic coast, Ponte Vedra Beach is known for its world-class golf courses, pristine white sand beaches and luxury resorts, but it is also steeped in history and culture and offers extensive recreational opportunities with easy access to Florida’s famous Intracoastal Waterway offering excellent boating, fishing and dining along the 10-mile waterway through Ponte Vedra and Palm Valley. In addition to the area’s incredible golf offerings, residents and visitors can enjoy tennis, spas and water activities, or relax on Ponte Vedra’s 7 miles of pristine beach, some of which have a unique pink hue from the coquina shells found in the sand.
