Sawgrass Marriott Resort

The Stadium Course is known for the island green at number 17 as the center point of the dramatic final three holes.

It should also be known as a classic Pete Dye test where there's more to every hole than what you can see. Tricking the eye is a staple in golf course architecture and Pete Dye does it as well as anyone.

Course is difficult, but also fun to play. The final three are great risk/reward holes and you have to love the island green!

I crossed off a destination on my golf bucket list when I played the stadium course. I played it shortly after "The Players", and the stands were still being taken down. This was by far the hardest track I ever played. If you don't hit fairways and greens, it can be a nightmare. The rough, even around the greens was diabolical. I managed to par the front side par 3's but that was all. 16, 17 & 18 are just how I imagined. It took 3 shots to get on 17 but I got there! This is a must for any avid golfer!

The only two positive statements, the staff was friendly and the greens were OK. The fairways and rough were in terrible condition for a course of this supposed stature. Although there were rangers, the pace of play was just below that of a snail. For the price charged one would be advised to drive down the road to Saint Augustine which offers many courses very much superior to this "pasture" at similar or lesser rates.

TPC is always an awesome visit. If you like to take your time warming up and enjoying the facilities the driving range, chipping green and putting green are outstanding. The course is great too! The pace of play can be hit or miss depending on the day but it is well worth the trade off.

great Course, nice Weather, friendly Staff, must play in Ponte Vedra

This might be my favorite Pete Dye golf course. In fact, I consider it a modern classic. The home of The Players Championship has been tweaked many times over the years, and as it's matured, it's gotten better and better. The finishing stretch of 16, 17 (the island green) and 18 are as good as it gets. It's difficult, yes, but not nearly as unforgiving as some of Dye's more recent works like Pound Ridge or French Lick. For the complete experience, take a caddie and walk (forecaddies are required regardless).

Most people know about the Stadium Course, but the Valley Course isn't too shabby either. Also designed by Pete Dye, there's lots of water hazards, lush turf and tour level challenge, since it does host a Web.com event. The difference is that it's not nearly as hard as the Stadium Course. It also costs a lot less to play. If you're making the trip to the resort, you owe it to yourself to play both courses.

This course is the best course I have played in Jax, and I've played every one (except stadium course). Tee boxes are taken very good care of. Fairways are beautiful, narrow, and have a lot of hills making it very difficult, but fun! The rough is unpredictable, you can either be buried or on top, which makes for a great challenge. Bunkers are very well taken care of, nice soft sand, not hard and compact. Last, but not least, the greens are amazing, soft enough to stick the ball or spin it and firm enough to get a good roll when needed. I wish players took care of the greens though, they left a lot of divots, I fixed about 4 every hole, not the ground keepers fault at all. And customer service was awesome, very friendly staff!

Great course. I used my free threesome from GolfNow to play w/ two friends and we had a great time. We will definitely return.

Dye on Weed... very demanding, but greens were slow because they just overseeded and cart path only created very long walks.

course was in great shape even though it had just been overseeded. greens were a little slow but rolled fairly true. rest of course in great shape.

Sawgrass Dye's Valley course, definitely treated like the second class course, staff were cordial, no course information given by starter! No GPS or course planners, so played it blind!! Greens recently dressed, absolutely no chance of putting and greensmen watering greens whilst teeing off (par 3s) and whilst playing second shots into greens, very dangerous and off putting !

Wife & I played just after very heavy rains. Course was saturated which made it play much longer than the rated distance. We look forward to returning but on a day when Mother Nature is kinder. Course was immaculate and the staff was superb...a first class experience.

What a great day of golf! The staff was so friendly and pleasant. We say "unforgiving" in that if you go off the fairway, you may never find your ball. If you do, it won't be easy to get it back on track.

1st time playing the Stadium course. Absolutely beautiful. As challenging as they come. Greens play like a gym floor. Rough is deep and mean.
By all means use a fore caddie. Ours was great, and helped to make our day. He helped us with distances, was great with reading greens, and easily covered his tip with locating balls.
1st class course and organization from start to finish.

FROM RECEPTION TO STAGING TO PRE-GOLF TO FIRST TEE, THE BEST ORGANIZED & EXECUTED PLAN EVER. I THINK EVER BLADE OF GRASS ON THE PROPERTY WAS EXACTLY THE SAME SHADE OF BRILLIANT GREEN. OF COURSE THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS CAME AT THE AWESOME 17th. THERE IS GENERALLY A SMALL BACK-UP HERE ON MOST DAYS.THE OOOHS & AAAHS OF THE GATHERED PLAYERS, TRANSPORTED ME STRAIGHT TO SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE PLAYERS' .

WOW...This course is amazing! From the minute you drive onto the property you know you are in for a treat. Our caddy was incredible. He knew where every blade of grass was and how to read the greens perfectly. Leave your GPS in the bag because you wont need it here. The greens are fast and the rough is tough. You have to keep it in the fairway to score low. I would recommended this course to all golfers looking to have a true PGA experience.

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.

great course,friendly staff,fantastic experience...every golfer should play this course at least 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."
