The Spectacular Flagship Of the TPC Network of Golf Courses
Nearly 30 years after its conception, THE PLAYERS Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass recently marked the final stages of a magnificent eight-month, multimillion-dollar golf course redesign. Regarded as the crown jewel of Northeast Florida, this stunning, Pete Dye-designed golf course plays host to THE PLAYERS Championship – which annually attracts the strongest field in golf and is one of the PGA TOUR's most coveted titles. The course’s signature hole is the 17th – the iconic “island hole” and “The Most Photographed Hole in the World." At once exciting and controversial, it tests even the skills of the world’s greatest golfers, including Tiger, Vijay, and Phil. Additional points of interest about this world-famous golf course include:
- World-renowned, par-72 golf course, marked by treacherous and sand waste areas, watery oppositions on every hole, and Scottish link-style bunkers, designed by Pete Dye
- Annual host site of THE PLAYERS Championship in May, which caters to an elite international field of PGA TOUR professionals, including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Fred Couples, Jim Furyk, and Vijay Singh
- #5 among Golf Magazine’s “Top 100 Courses You Can Play,” among numerous other awards
- Home of the most famous hole in golf, the signature #17 island green
- Dramatically enhanced layout, achieved through a multimillion-dollar renovation completed in November 2006, adding extraordinary new challenges and features to this highly acclaimed course
- Innovative improvements to the greens, including a state-of-the-art drainage system, which uses sub-air pumps and sand to drain the putting surface in minutes, allowing play during any weather conditions
- Assistance of a personal forecaddie, offering a mixture of course knowledge and tournament history
- Private access to the course, available exclusively to Sawgrass guests
