5 Championship Courses including the famed TPC Stadium Course

Among the most distinguished highlights at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort is the famous 6,857-yard TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course. Designed by Pete Dye, the TPC at Sawgrass is ranked among the top 35 in the United States and among the top 60 in the world, according to Golf Magazine. Here, you can match your skills against "The Most-Photographed Hole in the World," the No. 17 par-3 Island Hole, where many of the world's greatest golf professionals have put their skills to the test. Four other course options at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort offer their own unique nuances of play.

TPC STADIUM COURSE Ranked as #5 among Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play," the TPC at Sawgrass is the home of THE PLAYERS Championship in March, which hosts an elite international field of past champions including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Fred Couples, David Duval, and Greg Norman. Treacherous and sand waste areas, watery oppositions on every hole, and Scottish link style bunkers are signatures of this famed par-72 course. Before the Stadium Course came along in 1980, few golf courses that hosted championships were accessible to the general public. Most major championships took place on private layouts. The TPC at Sawgrass, one of 21 in the Tournament Players Club network, changed the dynamics of golf participation in the U.S. Now, the average player can test their abilities on the same 6,857-yard crucible where the world's finest players displaced divots.

TPC VALLEY COURSE The newest challenge at Sawgrass, fashioned in the grand tradition of the Tournament Players Club as a tough complement to the TPC at Stadium Course. Water comes into play on 6,838 yards along 18 holes, while fairways filled with hills and valleys create additional challenges. Designed by Pete Dye, Bobby Weed, and player consultant Jerry Pate, the Valley Course is the "younger brother" of the Stadium Course. Finished in 1987, the golf course has hosted events such as the SENIOR PLAYERS Championship, the NFL Golf Classic, and the final stage of Senior Qualifying School.

SAWGRASS COUNTRY CLUB Ranked among the top 25 best resort courses by Golf Digest. Marriott golfers encounter water on 24 of the 27 holes throughout the medley of challenging nines stretched over 10,340 yards. The 7,072-yard, par-72 East/West rotation has earned the time-honored distinction as "the original Sawgrass." Sawgrass Country Club was designed by noted course architect, Ed Seay of Palmer Course Design. Consistently ranked in the top 100 courses to play and among the "Best in State" by Golf Digest, subscribers also rated Sawgrass in the top 10 courses in terms of service.

PONTE VEDRA COUNTRY CLUB Teeming with natural wildlife, Oak Bridge is a short, tight course featuring water on every hole and requiring straight tee shots by great iron players. The 13th hole — a 378-yard, par-4 straightaway — necessitates the fiercest water negotiation. Roughs punctuate the right fairway of this Jacksonville golf course, and a lake ribbons along the left from the tee to skirt the front of a shallow, two-tiered green with a bunkered elevation. Redesigned by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay with tree-lined fairways and slightly undulating greens, the course is thoroughly enjoyable for all levels of players.

MARSH LANDING COUNTRY CLUB Another Ed Seay design, this course is often likened to a 6,841-yard nature preserve. Imaginative routing of the nines has created two visually contrasting personalities — the front nine, which weaves through pockets of sequestered Intracoastal marshes and is dotted will tall timbers — and the back nine carved from even thicker lagoons threaded with tidal marshes.
