The Watersound Club team will be joined by
PGA legend Davis Love III and his design firm, Love Golf Design, in
building a new golf course named “The Third”
The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) is excited to
announce the construction of another world-class Watersound Club
golf course. Watersound Club staff are working closely with Love
Golf Design founders Davis Love III, Mark Love and Scot Sherman to
bring the new course to life as an additional amenity for
Watersound Club members. In homage to both the PGA great helping
design the new golf course and the fact that it will be the third
championship golf course in the Watersound Club collection, the new
course will be named simply “The Third.”
The Third is designed to comfortably span approximately 300
acres just north of another Watersound Club golf course, Shark’s
Tooth. The generous acreage allows the design team room to be
imaginative in creating a layout that will please and challenge
golfers of all skill levels.
Love Golf Design and Watersound Club teams selected a unique
18-hole, Par 72 design with six sets of tees, allowing golfers to
adjust the course distance to play from 4,900 yards to over 7,600
yards on a firm, fast-playing course. The flexibility of play will
offer accessibility for the casual golfer, and even the longest
tour players will enjoy a challenge while hitting from the back
tees.
The Third joins an impressive lineup of exclusive Watersound
Club amenities including Shark’s Tooth and Camp Creek golf courses;
the member favorite Watersound Beach Club amenities comprising two
resort-style pools, two dining venues, and over a mile of
beachfront along the Gulf of Mexico; and the newly opened Camp
Creek amenities featuring a state-of-the-art wellness center,
tennis and pickleball courts, a sprawling pool complex, three
dining venues, and more.
The Third is the latest of several Watersound Club amenity
expansion projects launched in response to membership growth as
well as strong demand for golf among members. Watersound Club
membership has added more than 500 new members in 2023 and now
welcomes approximately 3,100 members from 40 states.
“We’re blessed to have an amount of land and resources available
that just can’t be found in many other places in the U.S.,” says
St. Joe Senior Vice President of Hospitality Patrick Murphy. “We’re
committed to using that to our advantage as we continue to add
amenities for our Watersound Club members.”
Leading the Love Golf Design team is Davis Love III. He is
perhaps best known as a World Golf Hall of Fame inductee who was
twice picked to lead America’s Ryder Cup Team. Just as impressive,
though, are the 27 completed projects in Love Golf Design’s
portfolio, including both new designs and renovations. Working to
naturally incorporate the mix of upland vegetation and undisturbed
wetland areas into the course layout offers an opportunity to top
even those previous designs.
“After exploring the property on our first few visits, we found
so many options it was hard to narrow the new course down to just
18 holes,” said Davis Love III. “Lead architect Scot Sherman, Mark
Love and I believe the variety of the site lends itself to building
a course with a timeless character. We’re pleased to work with a
routing that flows across white sandy dunes, with diverse native
plant materials, along with beautiful pockets of old growth cypress
and pine trees to frame the golf holes. We are thrilled with how
the routing of the golf course is progressing at this point.”
Construction has already begun on The Third. The company
anticipates the course will open for play in 2025. Additionally,
St. Joe is in the planning stage of residential homesites near this
new golf course.
