Sawgrass Marriott Resort

This is the first big name course ive played and definitely one of the more challenging and impressive layouts. That being said, for all the tout given to these two courses (Dye Valley and the Stadium) this one was not as well maintained as i would have expected.. Fairways were in good condition but not pristine, greens were good but mediocre when compared to other courses and maybe its just me but on a course like this i wouldnt expect to have to walk around the fairways searching for distance markers on sprinkler heads.. (No visual markers. i thought every course had at least a 150 yrd marker visible..) Overall i give it 31/2 - 4 stars because the layout is that good and i still think it was a great deal for $59.

The Valley course has undergone renovations and is getting better. The greens are almost there and the rest of the course is in great condition. Staff always great and makes you feel welcome. Still don't like the idea of paying over $100 for a round but it was worth it this time. Will be back.

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!

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.

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.

Amazing course and staff. Course in great condition.

The greens at Dyes Valley are full of black mold and are in horrible condition. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate them as a one. Even worse yet they want tell you about the condition of the greens until after you get to the first one.
Also the range is under renovations are not available for use

Greens had issues but other than that it was great

the course is a great layout i would play it again in a heartbeat after the greens are fixed. the faiways are good but then i would go back after seeing greens and demand my money back. you can go to st johns country club for 1 fourth the money and see great cond.

Course was playing short, many tees were forward and that helped as we could skip the driver on a few holes. Course is difficult but fair, narrow but with a bit of room for error on most holes but not all. Greens on the back nine were in pretty good shape with a few spots but on the front they were in rather terrible condition. Green #1 is half dirt, half grass, no kidding, and is the worst on the course. Beverage cart was just the right frequency. Overall for the discounted price we paid I think it was fair, not worth the rack rate though for the condition of the greens.

TPC Valley course has always been one of my favorites in the beaches area. The facility is great and the staff has always been very customer friendly. The only negative issue would be the greens are in less than "TPC" quality my last few rounds. I would rate them a 4 on a scale of 10.....based on the level I have seen them in the past.

I had good day and a bad day. I was pared with 3 other players and while I was warming up on the practice range the person I was on the cart with, took my clubs off the cart and put them on the grass at the chipping green. When confronted by the Marshall, he said he didn't want another player on his cart. I ended up playing by myself. The rest of the day was a great experience, but the start of it almost caused me to leave. I will go back but will only play with someone I know.

It's absolutely ridiculous that they would charge anyone $200 to play this course right now. They greens are in HORRIBLE SHAPE!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, unless you just have it to waste.

I paid $64 to play and it wasn't even worth the money! I am a member of St. Johns Golf and Country club and the greens are in mint condition. NO EXCUSE for the Valley course to be in the shape its in. POOR showing with the TPC just being in town.

Great design a challenge; the only negative is the condition of the greens.

Do not waste your money on the Valley!!! Greens are terrible!!! You expect the experience to be a great one and it failed. Play Jax Beach instead and save a ton of money.

They can't tear these greens up soon enough!! The greens are atrocious. Mixed grasses and an irregular surface renders them almost unplayable. Do not pay full price to play here.

This has no resemblance to the beautiful course that I played after the Winn-Dixie last year, Were it not for the great forecaddie (Shane) and the other staff this would have been rated lower.

This was a great day and a great day of golf. The greens were long and slow but Im sure they are that way as the stadium course is closed and they will get heavy traffic with TPC coming up in a couple of weeks. The course is worth every penny of $60.

Few friends had golf trip to floriday.. Played the TPC Dye Valley couse.. the club house and pratice rage is great... But the Valley couse had soooo much Construction. with All muddy cart pad... The Greens were BAD SHAPE the green were soo bad had weeds growing in few spots... Very BAD SHAPE SHOLD BE CLOSED FOR PLAY>>>> not even worth the $20 for this course.. but PETE DYE Valley Couse is the name people come toplay but the couse they get is the goat ranch...

of TPC Sawgrass as host to THE PLAYERS ]
Few friends took a golf trip to Florida and thought of playing of TPC Sawgrass Pete Dye Valley Course... it's next to the to THE PLAYERS .. Got to use the same club house as the Players Course.. After few mintues of clubhouse visit, we went to the Range to pratice.... Again still Exicted to play the PETE DYE VALLEY Course... we got to 1st hold the starter asked us to start on 10th hole... as we were driving to 10th tee box... major dirt road though the cours the cart really dirty.. After playing our first hold wanted to go back and get out money and leave.. The COURSE WAS SOOO BAD SHAPE SHOULD BEEN CLOSED FOR PLAY.. the GREEN WERE SUCH BAD Shape with weeds growing on the green.... WAIST OF MONEY in the name of PETE DYE...

Great course and we only played with 2 people in our group with no forecaddie which was their choice. Slow pace but we finished in just over 4 hrs. I would recommend this course but I get more excited to play the stadium course..
