Former PGA Hall of Fame area hotel sells in St. Augustine

Former World Golf Hall of Fame-Area Resort Trades Hands

A well-known golf resort near what used to be the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine has sold for $24.25 million. Atrium Finance sold the St. Johns County property. SUN Development & Management Corp. bought the hotel. The property is west of Interstate 95, north of International Golf Parkway.

The 301-room hotel at 500 South Legacy Trail opened in 1988 alongside World Golf Village. It operates under the Renaissance Hotels brand, which is managed by Marriott.

The hotel sale is the latest development in World Golf Village’s transition. The World Golf Foundation closed the Hall of Fame in 2023 and relocated it to Pinehurst, North Carolina. The adjacent IMAX theater closed in late 2024. Despite the closures, the surrounding area remains an active commercial corridor in St. Johns County with the arrival of national retailers such as Bass Pro Shops, Buc-ee’s, and Costco.
