TPC Sawgrass

TPC Sawgrass was an absolutely gorgeous venue. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful time playing and a great breakfast at TPC Sawgrass Stadium course. Super nice layout and fairways and greens were top notch.

Beautiful course. For The players it’s a one of kind week everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime!

I hate golf. I LOVE drinking, however.
This is kind of like Jacksonville’s Kentucky Derby. Not many people *really* care about the sport, everyone dresses up like old south rich people and everyone gets their buzz on outside. Day drinking and people watching at its finest.
If you think it’s hilarious to watch country club moms wasted off their asses and stumbling around, this is the place for you.
When you score those tickets from the office, try to get some kind of tent pass, because it’s usually hot as shit in FL by this time. Or be ready to sneak in/​around and do pass-​backs. I have never seen sharing wristbands so openly discussed with security («Can you put my wristband on extra loose? I need to pass it back to a bigger guy.»)
Also, get out of there by like 6pm to avoid the awful traffic. Who cares about the actual golf?

Clean facility and grounds. Military appreciation tent with complimentary food and drink. Weather was gorgeous and staff was excellent.

Great facilities, great place to have an event. We were there on Saturday for a Derby party that benefited Youth Crisis Center, and the folks at TPC Sawgrass know how to throw a great party. Plenty of food, plenty to consume, and they had the famous island green setup for us to try and chip into it, for a good cause. Great place to enjoy some time away from the office, and should be packed Mother’s Day week for The Player’s Championship.

This is a bucket list golf course! $$$$$ to play, but you have to do it at least once if you are a avid golfer.
You must have a caddy, you can walk the course with individual caddies or have one fore-​caddie for a foursome and ride in your own cart (this is what we did). Ours was most helpful to locate your ball and give you a read of the green.
TPC has gone to permanent year-​round cart path only to protect the course for the tournament in May. Plan for a 5 hour round.
Afterwards, plan to stop in the 19^th Hole for a beer and hamburger to relive your round.

Great experience. It’s $ 450 plus fore caddie tip, but worth it. The course was in great shape, even though it had poured the prior 2 days.
Customer service amazing, just a great experience all around. Not sure much needs to be said about this course, speaks for itself.
I’ll say this though and it was surprising to everyone in our foursome, 16, 17, & 18 weren’t nearly as difficult as you would think. Then again there was no wind or tournament conditions lol.

This is a must do event in Jacksonville. The TPC is a bucket list for the sport’s fan. Friendly staff and great experience.

Beautiful course, though the ²⁰¹³⁄₂₀₁₄ winter took its toll
Am amazing course, framed by some signature holes and an amazing clubhouse. This is one of those courses most golfers have on their bucket list. Wonderful to check it off.
Took a star off for the poor shape of the greens and the five temporary greens we had to use. For about $ 450 a person, one would expect better playing conditions.
On the other side, our caddy was fun and did a marvelous job saving us some strokes. And this course deserves the reputation it has as one of Dye’s masterpieces. Beautiful design… and many risk-​reward scenarios to keep you thinking.

I am by no means a golfer and will never be good to be even considered for the sport, but TPC Sawgrass is a magnificent facility and has some beautiful views. Beautiful site also for a NE Florida wedding, so I’ll review that aspect of TPC sawgrass.
Considered one of the top venues and catering for weddings, TPC Sawgrass boasts spectacular views and top service to their clients. The venue was voted top by brides in the local jax bridal magazine. From the beginning of our inquiry to the sales catering team till after the wedding, TPC has gives us the best service and wedding experience.
Our wedding was October 2013, prime month for weddings in FL. Throughout the process, Chris Hoffman & Molly Mieras along with the sales catering team was helpful and accommodating by all means. I wouldn’t exchange our wedding venue for anything! Yes it is on the pricier side of venues but there’s much more value and service you receive! As booked for the venue, you get top notch catering, sales catering team, wedding cake from Classic Cakes, social membership for one year (great discounts!), and beautiful views.
Overall I am pleased with TPC sawgrass and their magnificent staff members. I can’t express how much I love this place!

This is a beautiful golf course that I have grown up by since 1997, being that when we moved from New Jersey to Florida my parents had their house built in Sawgrass TPC. Although I am not a golfer, nor do I really understand the sport, I do see the beauty of the course and have seen many golfers try to master this course. Come March in the TPC at Sawgrass and you start to see the banners go up on the light posts down TPC blvd., the gardeners roping of the grass so that they can spray it that «TPC teal-​green color», and kids prepping there coolers with cold bottles of water, lemonade, and treats to sell to fans. You might even see people using there driveways as a way to earn some extra cash by letting you park there for the day for a given price! The down side is to living in this area during the TPC tournament is the traffic! The good part is having tickets, we don’t have to worry about the parking bc we can either bike or walk their, and even when the TPC golf tournament is not going on we always have some of the best views!

The best golf course and golf experience I have ever had. I love to golf, but, this brought my enjoyment for the game to the next level. My forecaddie was named Johnny. He was amazing! We golfed the stadium course two days in a row (Friday then Saturday). Johnny was our forecaddie on Friday and it was his day off on Saturday… We were a little bummed about that because he wouldn’t be our forecaddie again. Well, Johnny went out of his way to find out our tee time for Saturday and came in on his day off to surprise us. It was awesome. Go have fun there and ask for Johnny.

Great course, beautiful clubhouse, awesome caddy, and friendly staff.

I’m not a golfer (and probably never will be) but I can appreciate why they call this the ‘Spectator’s Course’. It was clear, upon entering the gates for The Players Championship (
) that this course was built with the golf fans in mind. The 17^th Island Green being the main attraction on the course, but many other fine exciting holes to watch and/​or play as well.
I don’t even want to know the size of staff a course like this has to have in order to make it such a seamless experience. Whomever they are, BRAVO!

Ready to be in for a treat? If so this is just the right place!
Seeing this course on TV doesn’t do it justice. From that first hole to the 18^th there’s not a single bad hole. Conditions are amongst the best if not the best that my boyfriend had played at. Just when you think you’ve seen the lushest of fairways & greens and then you come here And realized what emaciate truly should look like.
Standing on each tee box looking at each fairway, you can see contours and details that you would not be able to see on TV and appreciate the design laid out by the master mind course designer, Pete Dye. Now with the ascetic aside this course is hard. With greens being so fast it really demands a good decision off the tee to leave yourself a proper approach shot to the green.
Once on the green, you’re greeted with another challenge, actually getting the ball in the hole. How many putts? Honestly, if you’re lucky hopefully just two. Missing the fairways is one thing, missing the fairways into the pine straws … unless you are one of those that would spend five minutes to look for your ball, then take a drop.
When you finally reach the last three holes 16, 17, & 18 they are absolutely stunning. Lets start with the 16, straight 4 par fives with water on the right but not in play off the tee. Don’t be surprise to see a couple of alligators chilling around the hazards as you get closer to the green. Now the 17, YES you would never imagine but a 115 yard shot can actually be quite daunting especially when you see the actual size of island greens in person, not to mention with winds picking up. So take your time to enjoy this hole. No one will rush you as they are all there to witness it just as you are. Finally the last hole, do not hook the ball. Yes obviously being in the fairways is the best but if you were to missing right at least it will give you a chance to rather take a drop.
Overall, service was good. It truly was a great experience. Beautiful views. What more can you truly ask for?!?
Enjoy! Take pictures! and just have fun! Take in the course for what it is! You will leave the course with less golf balls you came with but with great memories and beautiful pictures!

This golf course is truly as good as it gets. It’s always in the top 100 in America and it is the home of the Players Championship. The island green 17^th is the signature hole. I birdied it! The guy I was playing with eagled the hole before, a reachable par 5. We didn’t score that well overall, but those two holes made our day. The course is top notch. I have to say that it’s one of the nicest courses I have ever played. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it. The facilities are beautiful. Great venue for weddings and small banquets. The golf shop is huge and full of great products. The professional staff is awesome and all the employees are very friendly. They have a world class practice facility where you can find tour pros on a regular basis. TPC Sawgrass is a really cool place. It’s a must do for any true golfer.

Great place for golf!!! They make you feel like you belong playing there. The Valley Course seemed easier than the Stadium Course although the fairways seemed tighter (not good for my slice). Both are good courses and will make you think about the shots.
If you plan the stadium, get a caddie (we shared one) and walk the course. Very walk-​able and you get the pro experience. The caddie is a life saver. I would have shot much worst without his guidance. There are a lot of holes that require strategy instead of just bombing away straight down the fairway.

I was so happy to play this course. The famed Hole 17 was exactly like I thought it would be. Our foursome had a «four caddie» and his name was Jerry and he was fantastic all around — great story telling, great distances and very helpful. Ate in the clubhouse after and the food was deelish! 5 apps for $ 5 each — great!

I will cherish my time playing the Stadium course. This was an amazing experience.
If you are playing the Valley course (which I felt was tougher) a forecaddie will be fine but if you are playing the Stadium course I highly recommend getting your own caddie and walking the course. It is a very walkable track.
First off, the staff was amazing. I felt very welcome and the efficiency with which they operate is exemplary. Kathy saw me through check-​in quickly and had me on my way to the range with a cart and practice balls in minutes. My caddie quickly found me on the range and walked me through the procedures and timing.
It was a roller-​coaster ride with 5 pars including on the 17^th but there were a few blow ups as well but an enjoyable experience at all times. Doug, my caddie, definitely saved me several strokes as the greens were even faster than usual due to a FCWT tournament there the previous day.
One of the things I loved the most was the abundant nature around. I spotted several gators, hawks, and all sorts of waterfowl. Living in Florida I have played many similar courses but this was just a step up and more in every respect. They were also gracious in allowing my 9yo son to ride along for a small fee and treated him very well. They definitely enhanced his already growing love of golf. I let him play the short par 3 13^th and he was able to make par.
I look forward to returning in a few years when he can play the whole course with me.
Last but not least I wanted to thank Melissa I think it was who tracked down a lost club for me. My hybrid had somehow been left on the course. I played two days before the Gator bowl. Apparently Urban Meyer was playing a few foursomes later and found it. Weird but true.

While its always an exciting experience to play a course you watch the pros play on TV, I though TPC Sawgrass was a great course, but lacked anything that really made me say «wow!» I played the course one afternoon in September of 2010 and the condition was immaculate. Despite some rain before the round, the greens were still running great and the course seemed to suck up the water quite well. However, outside of 16 – 18, the rest of the layout did not impress me more than any other Florida course would, definitely not enough to command the nearly $ 300 asking price to play the Stadium Course. Like Eli, I also played terrible, but making par on the par 3 17^th totally made the round.
