World Golf Village: retirement covers the green fees. It doesn't cover the fillings.
Between the King & Bear, the Slammer & Squire, and the family streets of Murabella, World Golf Village runs on two calendars: the retiree's, organized around tee times and grandkid visits, and the young family's, organized around International Golf Parkway and the school run. Both share one line item nobody warns you about — original Medicare pays for exactly none of your routine dentistry. The day you retire, a filling becomes a cash purchase, and most offices won't tell you the cash price until you're horizontal.
We publish it standing up. A composite filling on our founding fee schedule is $175 for one surface on a front tooth and $195, $245, or $295 for one, two, or three surfaces on a back tooth. Membership — $39 a month, $29 for the Founding 500, no insurer anywhere in the transaction — drops those to $140–$236 and folds in the cleanings, exams, and X-rays that anchor a retiree's dental year. Every case is quoted in writing first; nobody discovers a number in the parking lot.
The studio opens in September 2026 up I-95 in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor — from the International Golf Parkway exit it's one highway leg north. Hours run 7am to 7pm across all seven days, so morning golf and dentistry stop competing: the roughly 31-minute visit fits between a dawn round and lunch, or slots into a Murabella parent's day without touching pickup time.
Why this works from here
- One I-95 leg north from the International Golf Parkway/SR-16 exit to the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor
- Built for the post-insurance years: cash prices published in full, membership from $29/month replaces the vanished employer plan
- 7am–7pm every day — an early round at the King & Bear and a filling fit in the same morning
Questions, answered plainly
I'm on Medicare — what will a filling actually cost me out of pocket?
With original Medicare, the full fee is yours: $175–$295 by tooth and surfaces, exactly as listed on our schedule. Some Medicare Advantage plans carry a dental allowance — bring the card and we'll read the fine print with you, plainly. For most WGV retirees, membership at $29–$39/month beats piecing together coverage: fillings at $140–$236, routine care included.
We're at the King & Bear side — how far is the studio really?
One leg up I-95 from the International Golf Parkway exit to the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor; the exact address publishes at lease signing, waitlist first. It's the kind of drive WGV already makes for a good restaurant — and the live wait number means you make it only when the timing is right.
Can I get dental work done before a mid-morning tee time?
Comfortably. Doors open at 7am, a filling averages about 31 minutes door to door, and early morning is our quietest stretch. The one caveat we'll give you straight: you'll be numb for a couple of hours afterward, so schedule the celebratory coffee for after the front nine.
For two retired adults, what does the membership math look like?
Two Founding 500 memberships run $58 a month — $696 a year. That includes both adults' cleanings, exams, routine X-rays, and whitening touch-ups (roughly $1,100 of scheduled care at list prices), plus 15–25% off everything else, fillings included. A couple that keeps its ~90-day visit rhythm comes out well ahead of any individual dental plan we've seen priced.
You're not open yet — why should World Golf Village pay attention now?
Because the Founding 500 is finite and time-stamped: $29 a month locked for life, first notification of the address, first access to opening-week visits. Retirees who've watched employer benefits evaporate tend to value a rate that legally can't creep. The counter of remaining spots is live on this site.
