Sawgrass Marriott Resort

Top of the Line: The course is simply beautiful. Course conditions superb. A forecaddie appears to be automatically provided - and that is a good thing though it was unexpected. Ours (Chris) was cordial, witty, knowledgeable and very helpful. Only downer was the couple of dozen or more unrepaired ball marks on every green. They did not affect play on the excellent greens but were unsightly. I can't imagine that being a normal condition.

Not so Good: Despite the bragging in the welcoming email concerning warm-up and practice facilities, the provision of two bags totaling about 20 balls for the three ig seems a tad stingy considering the almost $900 in green fees. The turf on the practice tee was poor to non-existent (the course had hosted a junior tournament in the morning and that presumably created torn-up turf as an exception to the rule for this fine golf course. The course is a cart path only facility and not particularly well designed for that practice. It contributes significantly to the abysmal pace of play. Take a caddie and walk if you can.

Bad: Course was clearly overbooked with a delayed start and an pathetic pace of play - 5 hours, 45 minutes. We waited on every tee except those following par threes and on virtually every shot into the greens. So did the group in front of us.

Awful: I have had the good fortune in the 65 years I have played this wonderful game of experiencing everything from the sand greens and buffalo grass fairways of the rural Dakotas to the pristine conditions of the Augusta National and European links. My son and grandson-in-law have not yet been so blessed. I brought them to Sawgrass as a once in a lifetime experience. Given our 1330 tee time, we each fully expected to spent several hundred dollars following our round on clothing and other memorabilia for ourselves, friends and relatives who will never get the opportunity to see Sawgrass. Much to our dismay and my disgust, we found the proshop closed when we completed our almost six hour round. Given the half dozen or more groups still on the course I cannot comprehend the business mindset of a destination golf course which would allow this to happen (and given the readily acknowledged slow pace of play, it must happen on almost a daily basis). To compound the disappointment in being unable to make the anticipated purchases there was the need to get cash to tip the unexpected but appreciated forecaddie and the only ATM was inside the proshop. When confronted with the prospect of their forecaddie being stiffed the proshop staff agreed to allow the tip to be paid a credit card transfer but would not allow the purchase of goods.

It is a shame that the last memory of a special occasion colors all that came before. Despite the delightful golf experience, discussing TPC Sawgrass will always be a Jekyll and Hyde experience. I had hoped to show my son and grandson-in-law a class act. It did not happen.

This is actually the fifth time I've played the Stadium Course and I like more each time I play it. Some of that might have to do with the changes that have been made over the years. Much of it is due to learning the nuances of this course and how best to play it. This is classic Dye in every sense. Know where to hit it and most importantly, where to miss and when to take your medicine, and you can post a good score out here. As for the most recent round of changes – the lake between 6 and 7 and the drivable par-4 12th – I'm on board. I understand after player feedback the 12th will be tweaked before next year's PLAYERS, which will make it a better risk-reward hole. As for the experience, summertime is actually a great time to play it because green fees are less, around $250, and the course is in great shape.

Best course I have played A must for all golfers. Great experience. Great staff.

A small hiccup with the starter but the caddies fixed it with little problem. I should have walked if only to hear the caddies chat...they were exceptionally knowledgeable and very humorous. The clubhouse is phenomenal and the "Munchkins" were very gracious host. Staff is awesome and just plain nice. Worth every penny I paid for the stadium experience.The course and a par on 17 were simply awesome!

This is a beautiful and challenging course. There are many hills considering it is in Florida. The course is in great shape.

I have never had a golf experience like I had at TPC Sawgrass. Everything was first class from the bag drop off to the luunch after our round. It was an awesome experience. I would recommend playing this course for the experience of a lifetime.

Wow! First timers here. Amazing layout, challenging with lots of bunkers and water, great help from caddy assigned to our foursome.

Water comes into play on many holes and sloping fairways will challenge you to pick your target well to avoid a good shot having a bad result. The course is very picturesque and in great shape.The greens were true but not as fast as they looked. The greens are generally large but with multiple levels and subltle breaks they are a challenge. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We played in the afternoon to keep the price reasonable and the pace of play was quite good. Practice facilities were generous and very well maintained,. While the stadium course is more well-known this one is definitely worth a try.

A challenging course with nice amenities to enjoy before and after the round. Not worth $500 but close.

The 1st hole was fairly plain. However, the remaining holes were very picturesque. There are houses, water and wildlife along most holes but it is possible to keep away from these. The greens were excellent which allowed you to get the feel of pace straight away. A very enjoyable round

From the drive up to the clubhouse to the lunch on the veranda at the famous clubhouse, TPC Sawgrass is a fantastic experience. The staff is inviting and the conditions couldn't have been any better. I was interested in seeing the changes they made to the course a couple years ago. The course can is definitely challenging so be sure to pick the right set of tees! It was an awesome start to 2017 and I plan on having a buddies trip here within the next couple of years. A+

Wow is the best word to describe my experience at TPC Sawgrass! My husband and I went to play a round of golf in December for the first time and have been back multiple times since. When we drove up it was absolutely gorgeous, I had heard they did construction so I am not too sure what it looked like before. One thing they offer that I found exceptional was valet service! The parking lot is a bit of a walk and I think it really makes TPC stand apart from other golf courses we have played! Valet guy was so nice and gave us a lot of information since it was our first time there. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! The course is definitely difficult, but so worth it. We will be back.

The course is amazing, well-kept like the Stadium Course. It doesn't look like one you should walk given the long distances between greens and tees, but overall a must play. Looking forward to a return trip in late-February.

The course was a excellent condition especially the greens were rolling smooth and true. The pace of play was outstanding as our twosome played in 3:15.

Perfect day at TPC Sawgrass. The course was immaculate. Having played it 100+ times on video games it was even better in person. The new renovations are fantastic. #12 is now a great hole. Almost every hole is memorable. I couldn't imagine a better golf experience. I obviously had my playing partner record my tee shot on 17. Haven't felt more pressure over a shot in my life. The course is much more than just the island green, but that was still a uniquely special hole. I can't recommend this course enough. My playing partner said it is on the same level as Pebble Beach. Go here!
