Located right next to the impressive World Golf Hall of Fame, which is the ultimate celebration of the game of golf and its greatest players with engaging interactive exhibits and historic golf artifacts, The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village recently completed a property-wide $10 million renovation. The project included the complete remodeling of all 301 guest rooms and suites, dramatic changes to the resort’s 10-story lobby atrium and entry area, remodeling of all guest room corridors, an expanded fitness center with new state-of-the-art equipment, remodeling of the billiard room, a new restaurant and bar, and enhancements to the meeting offerings and business center.  Guest rooms and suites at the resort feature new furniture, soft goods, window treatments, lighting, flat-panel screen LCD HDTV televisions, and the Marriott JackPack, which provides complete connectivity to the guests for laptops, MP3 players, digital cameras, and video game players. The rooms and suites feature a contemporary design with an Asian feel, which includes rich red bed coverings, crisp white linens, along with a color scheme of warm neutral gold. In-room offerings also include high-speed Internet access, two telephones with data ports, a wet bar and refrigerator, and in-room coffee.
 
Situated within the lush 6,300-acre World Golf Village, within minutes of the historic sites of charming St. Augustine and outstanding shopping at two large outlet malls, The Renaissance Resort features a wealth of on-site recreational options. This includes the two championship golf courses, a professional indoor golf simulator, a sauna, pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and full-service concierge.
 
It is an easy walk to The World Golf Hall of Fame’s real grass 18-hole putting course, a 132-yard Island Challenge Hole, an IMAX® Theater, and the Walk of Champions.  Guests can enjoy golf lessons at the renowned PGA TOUR Golf Academy, and the pristine nearby Atlantic beaches. While visiting the resort, you have the opportunity to explore historic St. Augustine. Founded in 1565, the area is rich with Spanish architecture, with charming cobblestone streets and many fascinating historical sites such as the historic Castillo de San Marcos fort, and The Fountain of Youth. 

For members of the arme forces, police and firefighters in the Puget Sound/Seattle area, getting o St. Augustine, FL may seem a bit daunting for a brief vacation, but as the grey winter days begin to cause both you and your family a sense of depression, there is nothing like a few days in the sun, fresh air and golf course to bring back the spring in your step and  renew enjoyment of family and friends.  Get a group of co-workers, friends and/or family together, head to northeast Florida and enjoy the warm.  On a scan of Southwest Airlines air prices per person today, they are just under $400 and that is before the military rate discount is applied. While it does include one plane change in Denver, this is a very affordable 4 day weekend or 1 week vacation!
