| Description | World Golf Hall of Fame is the ultimate destination for the celebration and recognition of golf’s greatest players and contributors. The World Golf Hall of Fame opened its doors in St. Augustine, Fla., in 1998.
Supported by the world’s leading golf organizations, including Augusta National Golf Club, European PGA Tour, LPGA, PGA TOUR, PGA of America, Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews and USGA, the Hall of Fame is a not-for-profit organization.
Members of the World Golf Hall of Fame are honored extensively throughout the stately museum by means of personal and professional memorabilia, artifacts, photographs and videos. The Hall of Fame’s exhibit program includes the opening of special exhibits devoted to its members throughout the year. Traditionally, each year, the Hall of Fame opens a marquee exhibit about one of its members. Exhibits representing the personal lives and professional achievements of each inductee also are unveiled at each year’s Induction Ceremony.
The World Golf Hall of Fame not only tells the story of its members, but also traces the history of golf through stories, artifacts and distinct memorabilia, including a life-size reconstruction of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge from the Old Course at St. Andrews; a replica 1880s-style putting green that allows visitors to use hickory-shafted putters and gutta-percha balls; and a state-of-the-art golf simulator, which allows guests to experience any one of more than 40 famous courses found around the world.
Guided tours are available and admission includes one film at the adjacent IMAX Theater and one round on the 18-hole, natural grass putting course. |
