On May 19, 1998, the World Golf Hall of Fame opened in its new location in St. Augustine. Several members of the inaugural class, including Palmer, Sarazen and Snead, were on the stage to welcome the first class for the new building: Nick Faldo and Johnny Miller.

The Hall of Fame is the centerpiece of World Golf Village, a unique vacation destination with two championship golf courses, high-end accommodations and several other amenities. Visitors from around the world continue to flock to the Hall of Fame and make use of the Village’s world-class facilities.

Designed by museum design firm Ralph Appelbaum Associates, the Hall of Fame and exhibition area contains exhibits on the game's history, heritage, and techniques; major players and organizations; golf course design, equipment, and dress; and new directions, such as ecological concerns in course management.

Admission to the Hall of Fame includes entrance to the Museum and its special exhibits (valid for the day of purchase and the subsequent day), one round on the 18-hole, natural-grass putting course and one shot on the Hall of Fame Challenge Hole. An IMAX film may be added for $5 for general run films and $10 for special engagement Hollywood films.
