TPC Sawgrass - The PLAYERS Stadium

Rating 76.4

The world renowned Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is the first course of its kind. Built with the intention of being home to THE PLAYERS, it was created for spectators. It was designed as the first stadium-style golf course, offering fans clear and stunning views. The challenging layout is routed so that no two consecutive holes ever play in the same direction. Traditional Scottish links-style bunkers, sandy waste areas, and water hazards that come into play on every hole make the Stadium Course even more interesting. There are also hundreds of oaks, pines, and palms throughout the course. One of the most widely known, and feared, holes in golf is No. 17, notorious for its treacherous island green.

Get a Caddie

Fantastic course condition in late Sept. I nabbed a great price ($225) with golf now and decided to pay the extra hundo for a caddie to walk with me. The caddies are faster than using your gps/rangefinder and earn their money on reading the greens. The course is challenging but great shots are very rewarding and if you stick the tee shot on 17 while your partners are wet, it makes you feel like a million bucks. Well worth the money.

Every golfer in the world should play this course once.

Their is not much more I can say other than fantastic. Staff was great, fore caddie helped, even the turkey wrap was delicious. I'm poor so this probably was my only chance to play this course. For the rest of my life I can watch the TPC and say " I hit one into the water on 17."

Stadium in great shape

Played the stadium course - slow round as usual - but i was ready for that. TRUST your caddy for yardages and reading greens

The place was in fantastic shape - one other draw back is a lot of maitenance crews on the scene - but gthat is why it is in such great shape

Stadium Course

Playing this course was a true high point in my life. The whole round from start to finish was awesome. The clubhouse was incredible. The staff treat you like royalty. The course is pristine and super hard. Some tee shots give you some forgivness. But, if you miss and get the rough good luck. If you miss the greens on your approach watch out it is punishing. Having a chance to play a PGA Tour course with all the history and where so many great players have been was surreal. After my round I had even more respect for what the pros can do. Had a great caddie Craig made the round even more enjoyable. Make sure you tip well. Thank You Golf Now!

CART PATH ONLY REALLY :- \

A fantastic place to play golf, a we bit over board on cart path only.
The reason they give is that they want to keep the course in the best
condition possible. This however makes for a less than enjoyable round, too much walking. You best get a caddy that will make it more enjoyable...

Perfect golf experience

The course is absolutely beautiful but tight! Stay in the fairway...the rough will eat up your ball. Make sure you watch where your ball goes into the rough, you practically have to be on top of it to find it! Water in play on almost every hole!
Practice facilities, club house, and food are best in town!

Fairways Required

This course has one consistent defense; two in the summer. The water is ever-present and in the summer, especially a wet one like this has been, the rough off of the fairways will receive your ball like the clowns mouth on the 18th hole of the Fun-House of Putt-Putt Golf...Ok, its not really that bad, but you sure want to be in the fairways.

Also, the practice green was firm, smooth, and quick while the Valley's actual greens were softer and somewhat slower, with significant grain influence on direction and pace.

This place would be worth it everyday at the Golfnow rate I paid.

Stadium Course Review

I can honestly say I've never had a better golf experience than the one I had at TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. Not only was the course amazing the staff and amenities that surrounded the course were amazing. It's without a doubt a once in a lifetime experience.

Who doesn't like TPC Sawgrass!?!

This course was way more challenging than it appears on TV. Some of the lies around the green are very challenging. Hitting the fairways are very important because hitting it in the tough my lead to a layup. 17 is a walk in the park despite playing 17 and 18 in the dark.

Great facility and the course layout is fantastic.

The course was undergoing some routine golf requirements, so the fairways and greens were not in perfect condition. That being said, it was not bad and the layout is fun and challenging. I would definitely play again and would like to see it when it is perfect condition. The club house and facilities are second to none.

Many Tees under construction, otherwise, great course!

Many of the back and "one-up" tees are under construction, and not in use. Also, there is nowhere to practice short game (wedges) beyond the driving range.
Otherwise, the course was in great shape, the staff was quite friendly, and the course was challenging, as always. Surprised at the shortage of carts. This required me to schlep my clubs around from practice green to practice tee until a few minutes before my tee time, when my cart was provided. Price is a little steep, but being a premier course, c'est la vie!

What a course. Brutally tough!

The course was in great shape. I had heard they resurfaced the greens and fairways one month prior to our tee time, but I couldn't tell. Great shape! Greens were very smooth. I believe a 9 on the stimp meter. Not overly fast, but plenty fast enough. What a great day. Our caddy, Jason, knows this golf course like the back of his hand. Big help on the brutal greens. The greens are just very difficult to read.

experience of a lifetime

This course is no cream puff. Even with your A game you can blowup on any given hole if u dont hit right shot. I have never played a pro course except in mexico at mayakoba....and this is 10xs harder than that. Without a caddie u would be dead in the water. The rough is bermuda grass....the most u can hit out of it is a 6iron. Even my caddie said the pros can only get 5iron at most out of. If u get lucky and ur ball doesnt sink down.....u have a fair chance to hit a hybrid/5 wood/long iron....hut u have to hit it perfecto...otherwise its a chunk shot. I am still mezmorized by experience. We got rain delay for 2 hrs and only got the front side in....we are going back wed and they start everyone on wed off the back side.....bring someone to take pictures for u. Only $34 for a rider....and they will have a once in a lifetime experience as well. Plan for hot humid weather in summer...they have towels and water and anything u need. The proshop is like walking into dicks sporting goods...except all golf...all tpc sawgrass apparel. Caddie named Phil....awesome job.....I am sure all caddies are..but u neverknow...highly reccommend him if you go. We are requesting him for wednesday. Plan for 5hr round...thats only because carts have to stay on path...caddie tells u yardage your ball is out...readsall the greens for you...so nice tip highly recomme nded for job he does for u. Everything from pulling your cart up...grabbing u a club....cleaning ur club....raking all traps...fixing all divots made into green. I fould go on for days......my best way to finish this is this.......this is the golf players dream....likena kid at disney world. I am about a 12 handicap......I shot 50 from the blended tee option. This is a mix of the blue/white tees.....champions tees arent available for the public. And trust me...they are really only there for the pros. Golf now is the only way I would book ttime there. Especialy cause if u get rained out.....they are awesome....I will leave it at that. They take care of your fees and any money back. I hope when u go it does nit rain.....because price during off season.....which is july/august in florida.....you cant beat it. It was on my bucket list in life to play one pro course in united states....and we vacation to daytona annually in july.....once in a lifetime experience you will not regret. So stop hesitating and book ur round ir you are thi king about it. You onky live this life here once....then only God knows whats in store for me/you after that. Amen and amen.

Kind of a disappointment

I played the stadium course the 15th of June. I was very excited to play this course because of how famous it is. After purchasing the hot deal tee time for over $300, I arrived at the course. As I was driving up I noticed that the number one fairway seemed abnormally brown. Then I went inside to check in. The employee was very nice but he told me that they had sprayed a chemical on the fairways to kill all the grass so basically the fairways were dead grass and hadn't been watered or anything so they were hard as well. The course is having a major overhaul on the 17th so they have basically just let the grass die with no cares. The frustrating part is we were not told that they had done this til we got there. The fairways were awful! It was very disappointing. There is no way that this course should charge $410 for a non hot deal time when their fairways are dead! Another downside was our round took 5 hours and 45 minutes because we waited at every shot. Other than that, I had a great time because the layout if the course is fantastic. I would definitely recommend playing this course a couple months down the road after they do maintenance on it because it is a fun course to play!

AS SEEN ON TV

Early afternoon four some. After check in we were told the driving range closed, due to complete renovation. Since we drove an hour & twenty minutes we did not have much to do until tee time. They had 4 nets to hit into by the first tee for your warm ups.
All other amenities were good, water, towels bag tag. You must take a fore caddie, I had two over two rounds, one very good & the other not so good. They expect a rate of $40 per player for reading greens, raking bunkers, filling divots
The course is a great fun layout, but to enjoy it don't go and play the tips. Fairways very plush, but watch out for not repaired divots.
The rough must be avoided, the ball goes deep, hard to find and plan on wedging out. Bunkers and tees in good shape, the tee on the par three 13 in very bad shape. Now the greens were firm and running fast. Many had repairs with newly installed plugs, now that the TPC event is over they begin airification on June 17-June 29 the the third and final time. I would not advise going then, even for the discount rate of $225.
The course is has it all, but only as once in a life time treat . Especially at the rack rate of $410 + tax+caddie+bag staff & locker room attendants .
If you decide to go a camera is a must.
Oh, one other annoyance was the crews are taking down the stands and are quite noisy.

TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course an experience to remember!

You have to play this place at least once in your lifetime. The course layout is spectacular and is maintained as good as it gets. Staff is extremely friendly making you feel confortable. Our round lasted a little longer than normal as we were booked with a father and his 13 year old daughter and 15 year old son. Sofie the 13 year old shot an 84 and I am sure the son was in the ballpark, father was coaching along the way. Pin placement was exactly as that of the final day at the 2013 Players Championship.
