The World Golf Village Resort in St. Augustine, Florida, recently welcomed Pace Anderson as its new director of agronomy.
Anderson joined the team in early July and is overseeing agronomy operations for the resort’s two championship courses — the King & Bear, the only course ever co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, and Slammer & Squire, a tribute to legends Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen — ensuring world-class course conditions for members, guests, and tournament play.
Anderson has worked at other private clubs and tournament venues, most recently as senior golf course superintendent at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Georgia. During his nearly decade-long tenure there, he led major improvement projects, implemented top-tier agronomic programs, and advanced eco-friendly practices aligned with Audubon standards. Each year, he prepared the course to host the Korn Ferry Tour’s Club Car Championship.
Prior to his time in Savannah, Anderson worked nearly five years at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, home of The Players Championship. There, he was part of the leadership team that completed full renovations of the Stadium Course and Dye’s Valley Course. Over the course of his career, Anderson has supported more than 25 PGA Tour-sanctioned events across the country, bringing a championship-level eye for detail to every project.
The World Golf Village is professionally managed by Troon Golf, the resort and daily fee operations division of Troon.
