Score
Across the available record, Tournament Players Club at Saw has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 12, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around seven violations, down from roughly 10 violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “clean glasses”, showing up four times.
Compared to other Ponte Vedra restaurants (averaging 70), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
