Sawgrass Marriott Resort

From pulling into the parking lot to entering the clubhouse and through the course of play, it was first class service. A small item but large reward was the accessibility of cold bottle Springwater when the food car lt made its way around. It was a great experience for me.

My wonderful wife give me a round at the Stadium Course for my birthday, and it may have been one of the best days of my life. This may be obvious, but the course itself is immaculate. The greens are like glass and have subtle breaks, but our forecaddie Armando gave me excellent reads. His advise - when I was smart enough to listen to it - was spot on. Be prepared to spend the day in the sand (there's miles of it), every bit of it groomed to perfection. The 77,000 sq ft clubhouse is a must see. They give free tours of it on the hour between 9am and 4pm. Be sure to get a drink from the bar and sit outside on the patio overlooking #18 when you're done. The views are stunning. As many here have said, the practice facility is second to none, and yes, there is a replica of the 17th green on the driving range to practice on, and I'm so happy to say that the practice paid off. I'll brag long enough to say I birdied the real thing a few hours later from the back tees. I don't see what all those pros are worried about..... As a parting gift, they also give you a very nice, really beautiful metal bag tag, and they engrave it for you for free. Be sure to take advantage of the free use of the locker room/showers to get the full experience....all of it highly memorable

The course was in fantastic shape. Greens rolled very true. Can’t beat Nineteen

Very nice round at Dye’s Valley. Plenty of water to contend with but fairways had landing generous zones to keep the ball in play. Greens were in great condition and the layout offers many reward decisions, overall a fun course to play.

My golf cart stopped for no obvious reasons and forced me to back up. Did not happen to the other cart. This completely made me lose my focus as I had to WALK to my ball and got behind. If there are some things we should know about restrictions, these should be made clear ahead of time. This was the second shot on a par 5 and not anywhere near the greens where I can understand it being an issue. You can post signs that direct the rider to stay in the safe zone and still reach the fairway. This was totally unacceptable.

The layout is excellent but the course conditions (fairways in the main) are unacceptable for a TPC Sawgrass course. The grass is dormant so divots are not being filled. The course maintenance crew should put sand in all the divots at the very least. Greens rolled just fine but not as fast as I thought.
