Our History
Prior to becoming the premier private membership Club, The Lodge & Club has seen its oceanfront location transform over the past six decades.
Tommy Sabin, a New York banker (and frequent Ponte Vedra Inn & Club guest) purchased 600 feet of oceanfront property from the Inn's parent company, the Ponte Vedra Corporation. This prime property was located 1 1/2 miles south of the Inn & Club. Sabin built (32) guest rooms and called his new oceanfront hotel - The Innlet.
The Innlet is sold to the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and was operated under Inn management as an extension of The Inn. The Innlet, with its popular bar and restaurant, The Oasis, was the informal arm of The Inn. It became the gathering place of the younger crowd offering a pleasant, more casual change of atmosphere.
Although ownership of The Innlet changes a couple of times during this twenty year period, it continues to be managed by the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club with guests enjoying full use of the amenities of both hotels.
The oceanfront site, (10) acres in all, is purchased by the Fletcher Land Development Corporation of Ponte Vedra Beach. Planning begins for the development of a new, resort hotel.
The Ponte Vedra Corporation purchases The Lodge & Bath Club and changes its name to The Lodge & Club. As in decades earlier, hotel operations at the site are managed by the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.
A remodeling and enhancement of The Lodge's oceanfront pool, Jacuzzi, beachfront cafe and signature trellis was started and completed. More than 10,000 square feet of new and decorative brick pavers were added throughout this popular recreation, dining and lounging area.
All 66 rooms and suites are renovated and upgraded resulting in recognition by the Florida Builder's Association with their Award for Design Excellence.
