Fun day

Great course in outstanding shape, friendly, helpful staff. Really couldn't ask for more. The rough was troublesome as in tough. Wouldn't hurt to cut it down.

Only have a chipping and putting practice area as the driving range is being upgraded.

Fun and memorable

Having watched this tournament for many years, and actually attended, I was extremely excited to get a chance to actually play it the course. We stayed on the property and the staff at both the hotel and course make it extremely easy and fun to get around, enjoy the property and ensure you get where you need to get too. Very reassuring.

The only disappointing element was only getting a small bag of balls to warm-up with on the range. I was hoping for unlimited, but I got over it quick. We rode in carts, but had the mandatory fore-caddie, who was great and and nice to have.

As far as the course itself, it was memorable. Seeing each hole in person, as I have for many years on TV was awesome. Some of the tee shots were more intimidating in person than on TV, such as the two par 5's on the front nine, 2 & 9. The conditions were great, and each hole had a different element that really distinguished each from one another.

16, 17 & 18 were definitely the highlights however. The tee-shot on 16 is critical, 17 is a simple wedge or 9-iron, but still intimidating. The green is huge, it's just very helpful to be on the proper level. 18's tee shot is great. The clubhouse in the background, lake to the left and trouble right. A really cool experience.

The property itself is massive, as is the clubhouse. It was a great experience that I can't wait to do again. I played terrible, so I'm excited to get back again, but spending the weekend with my Dad in one of golf's most recognizable spots was pretty cool.

Dumb question maybe but this course is different from the players championship? Like there is the stadium course and the dyes course?

I am looking to play the stadium course the course with the island green...

It is a "must play again" course. Excellent shape, lots of hills. Yes, it's Florida and I said that.

Great afternoon of golf

Played June 21st at 3:35 PM for $90. Played in <3 hrs with son as twosome with new Taylor Made M2 rentals. Driving range was closed but it's more important to practice putting and chipping. I'm 54 with an 8 handicap and not a long hitter. Played the mixed tees.

What followed was a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging round of golf. Par 4s and 5s challenging and par 3s playable. Greens still had some sand from aeration 3 weeks ago but rolled well. Very firm and had a few good shots roll off the back until I got used to them. Fairways in great shape. Water on so many holes wears you down by the time you're midway through back 9. Must be accurate off the tee. Shot 39-43 and very happy.

Staff was great. I would definitely play again.

This course could be so much more!

The tees boxes need to be marked with the yardage. The card has them marked, in very tiny print, by the way, but when you walk up to the tees, there are no yardage markers, so you have to guess exactly how long the hole is, which is lame.

What an experience!

I have nothing less than superlatives for our round on Dye's Valley Course. The course is in excellent shape. The staff was helpful, considerate and cordial.

There was nothing less than excellent and that made for a great day.

Thanks to the staff and management.

June 2016

TPC Valley Course was in good shape. Fairways were still a bit sandy after having been aerated just over a week ago, but the greens were in excellent condition. We played in the morning and enjoyed the round so much, we played again in the afternoon. The staff could not have been friendlier and was very accommodating. I can't wait to see how the Stadium Course greens and course changes come in this November.

Top notch experience

While I was disappointed that the Stadium course was closed until November 2016, the Dye Valley course was truely a challenging and beautiful course. The staff and amenities were top notch. You've got to experience this one!

The Valley Course returns

Things were bad for a while but with they have worked hard to improve conditions here. The greens are finally growing. They have patched the problems pretty seamlessly. They look healthy. The rest of the course is very good. The fairways are perfect. We played in 4:10

I really enjoyed it. This is a real Dye gem. no walk in the park. Play the white tees. They'll give you plenty of interest.

A Disgrace

The pace of play is ridiculous. They had a 24 man beer fueled bachelor party on the course this morning plus a bunch of other dimwits who had no respect for anyone else on the course. Grated the rangers finally got the mess cleared up after 10 holes but there is no excuse for this. And then there is the condition of the greens. They got some ugly looking fungus growing , bald patches, shoddy replacement patches. The place was closed for 6 months last year to improve them. It's a mess. The "members" are getting a very poor deal here and the resort folks are surprised at the poor conditions.

Great Course!

We happened to catch the Stadium Course on an extremely windy afternoon. So needless to say it was really tough sledding out there.

This course is not a wide open bombers course. It's a strategic and accuracy driven course. Even from the blue tees, it's not scary long...but you have to hit the fairways! Fairways is the key to playing well here. You can attack greens with short irons if you hit the fairways. If you don't hit fairways...you're hitting out of pine straw, sand, out from under trees, or a thick rough...or maybe even dropping cause you hit the water.

But the experience is great. Great staff up front, AWESOME practice facilities (make sure to hit a few shots out of the sand bunker onto the range...you'll need a few of those shots for your round), and just an overall beautiful property.

I'd recommend getting there 2 or 3 hours early, eating lunch on the patio, browse the clubhouse/locker room, putt and chip, then hit a bucket...and get after it.

We walked and our caddies were okay. They were both young, and took pride in their job...it was just a tough day on everyone with the windy conditions.

This is not a course that will wow you with views like a Pebble or Whistling Straits, so don't expect that. That would be my only complaint...is that they charge the same rate as those places, but the course doesn't have a huge wow factor. It's just a really skinny, challenging course. 16, 17, and 18 are 3 of the coolest holes you can play in the US...so really soak those in. Enjoy!

Perfect fairways

The course was in pretty good shape, the fairways were the best fairways I have every played, but the greens had a lot of rough spots, but rolled pretty good. The staff is very friendly. The course has a lot of water and had very tight fairways with big greens. I think it is a little bit over priced because of the greens.

Enjoy this one after Stadium Course

After playing the "icon" last year in the Stadium Course on my return to the area this year I made it a point to go back and see what the Valley course had to offer. Yes it does not get the hoopla that it's big brother gets but as for a golf course design, difficulty is there ,scenery is everywhere, greens are great, and overall conditions were fine for winter months. I would love to play this place in full season for grasses. Anyways think about your handicap before you start and don't think this is a push because it has no bleachers or island. The design offers many challenges based on placement of water, bunkers both fairways and greenside. Fairways are fair and have many pot type bunkers of grass and moguls for challenging your stance. Greens were rolling just fine and my est. would be about 11 on the meter. This part of TPC offers much more serenity, plenty of world class treatment and golf that you will enjoy and remember. I highly recommend that if you play Stadium you should also play the Valley to take in everything Pete Dye and the PGA has to offer you.

One of the best finishes in golf

There are obviously a lot of high hopes coming into a day at TPC Sawgrass...and the facility did not disappoint. The day starts with an impeccable clubhouse and a great practice facility. Like many golfers, I grew up playing the course a thousand times on video games before I finally made it to the track. The entire day is enjoyable, and you'd be hard pressed to find 3 better finishing holes. I made a classic bogey on 17...first tee shot in the water, then stiffed the next one. Go figure.

Worth it for any golfer to enjoy.

Pricy but well worth it

Hardest course that I've ever played. Pete dye punishes you when you hit a bad shot. Forecaddie helped because of the cart path only rule. They take very good care of the course and the conditions are perfect. Also the staff are very helpful and kind

fantastic

Played it with my friend and absolutely loved it.The forcaddie,Jason,was phenomenal.He new every blade of grass on the golf course and was a great guy.We played the white tees which was challenging enough.Course was in great shape and greens were smooth and fast.You sure can get in a lot of trouble if you don't have your A game,which fortunately I did.The 3 signature hole,16,17,and 18 I played in double bogey,par,par,which was exciting but I/m glad I hit 17 and 18th greens in regulation.Pricey,but worth it

Only go to say you have played 17.

Fore Caddy great helpful and good at reading greens.Pro shop and clubhouse staff v pleasant and accommodating.Other than that very disappointing.definitely not worth the money other than to check off bucket list to say you have played 17.Course has had a lot of water recently so will give it the benefit of the doubt.Not being able to get carts on course at any point really detracts from the experience.Clubhouse very nice and sitting on patio with view of 18 wonderful (only hole that looks like it does on TV).
