Who's played Sawgrass?

[jcard71]

Over the winter I had planned on going down to play the TPC.

I just called today and they have the following deal. Starting June 9th, you can stay 2 nights, play 3 rounds, with two of those rounds being at the stadium course. My wife is coming with me, but wont be golfing and it would be $805.00 for this special. Considering it's $375.00 to play SAWGRASS, Im thinking I might do it...

What do you think of this special?
Who here has played it?

I've played it twice.

I marked each of my shots in the yardage book and break it out during the championship every year. Fun to watch Phil dump one into the water on 16 this year and remember that I hit the exact same cruddy shot!

I consider it to be one of those "must play" courses......and that's a pretty good price. Take the time to visit the Golf Hall of Fame in St Augustine while you're there too.

I came this close to doing that exact special. It definitely looks like an awesome deal, but I decided to go to Orlando instead on a different package. I'd love to know how it goes for you though if you decide to do it!

Yes, many years ago (before they bulldozed it a couple of years ago) and it was awesome, the Valley course beside it has it's own little quirks too (like seashell bunkers). Your deal sounds pretty good; you aren't that far from Jacksonville and there's shopping nearby. The hotel is gorgeous and the wife will like the spas. Have a good time.

With a bit of luck and some birdies, I'll be playing it for the Florida State Amateur Championship in June!

I've played it, top three hardest courses I've played... you appreciate what the pros can do even more after playing it... if you get the chance by all means take advantage

Good luck Jorruss.

MacGregor 1025's.........you're the man.
Great sticks.
It's a shame what happened to that company.

Does anyone actually pay $375 for the Stadium Course nowadays? I feel like they run a special every day.

That's not a terrible deal because the hotel is great, but truthfully you might as well skip Dye's Valley. It's really not worth the money they charge because it's part of Sawgrass.

I would rather grab a special at Ponte Vedra and play both courses there (or just double up on the Ocean course), then pay to play a round at the Stadium course. There's also a decent deal at the World Golf Village... you can buy a round at either King and Bear or Slammer and Squire, then go to the other course that day and only pay the cart fee to play. The greens weren't in fantastic shape on K&B; when we were down there, but it was a pleasant course.

I saw this special and it is fabulous. TPC Sawgrass is a GREAT Track. The price for this package is a good deal. It will be warm bt hey it's worth it. The Valley is very nice too. And the hotel is nice. Sounds like a winner to me. I'd do it but was just down there. I paid plenty more.
