Stay for Greatness The World Golf Hall Of Fame

The World Golf Hall of Fame, located in the heart of World Golf Village, is the ultimate destination for the celebration and recognition of golf's greatest players and contributors.

Through a combination of both traditional and interactive exhibit areas, the World Golf Hall of Fame has something for everyone. Exhibits educate and entertain, while paying homage to the legends of the game.

Designed to appeal to golf fans as well as avid golfers, children and seniors, at the World Golf Hall of Fame, visitors are able to:

  • Capture a keepsake photo on a replica of St. Andrews' Swilcan Burn Bridge.
  • Putt on an 1880s-style putting green with a wood-shafted putter and gutta percha ball.
  • Learn the history of the R+A and the Open Championships.
  • Get up close to over 1,000 pieces of authentic member memorabilia in the Member Locker Room.
  • See highlights of golf's greatest moments in the Great Championship Moments mini-theater.
  • Stand up to the pressure of TV cameras, commentators, and crowd noise while trying to sink the final putt and win Shell's Wonderfull World Of Golf match.
  • Enjoy two outdoor exhibits: The Challenge Hole, reminiscent of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, and a real grass 18-hole Putting Course.

The World Golf Hall of Fame opens and displays special exhibits each year in tribute to one of its members. Through November 2008, “Jack Nicklaus: Golf’s Golden Champion” is featured, offering visitors a look in to the golf legend’s life on and off the course.

For special events, the World Golf Hall of Fame is a magnificent venue for private and corporate functions, from the spacious Hall of Fame Plaza to the exclusive Trophy Tower, the Walk of Champions and the spectacular World Golf Hall of Fame IMAX® Theater.

The spirit of the game is yours to explore when you stay at The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village. Admission to the museum also includes a film in the IMAX® Theater and a round on the 18-hole putting course.
