There was a time when golf was a game played in two hours or less with friends and family in tow. Scoring was important; overall enjoyment and the strengthening of relationships, even more so.

 

Located in WaterSound, Florida, The Origins Course, an extraordinary place created by The St. Joe Company – is a six-hole regulation course that alternatively plays as a nine-hole executive course and a ten-hole par 3 layout through the use of alternate tee boxes and auxiliary greens –  was designed and built with the “short course” concept at its core. The mission: make golf more fun, accessible and attractive to families, beginners and casual golfers.

 

The course was designed by Love Golf Design, and founded by PGA Tour player and PGA Champion Davis Love III in the late 90s. Known for designing traditional golf courses with classical elements, Love Design and St. Joe share a commitment to creating golf experiences that are interesting, enjoyable and challenging.

Said Love III about the Origins Course:

“Our company strives to stay connected to the roots of the game. The very origin of the game of golf revolved around a community recreational activity that could be enjoyed by everyone. At WaterSound we have the opportunity to re-create that atmosphere in a way that will hopefully provide enjoyment for all who call this community home.”
