My wife and I are coming from the UK to at end of February to play Sawgrass...

is it as good as they say? We will be booked on the Stadium and Valley courses...is there any where else nearby that we MUST play?

What is the local area like to visit?

i've played sawgrass' stadium course twice. it is as great as they say; even better now after the tweaking that dye did a year ago or so. without question, you'll remember 17 forever. you may also remember how difficult it was. and finally, you'll likely remember how expensive it was. but you won't regret it.

as for other courses in the area. you ask the question with emphasis on "MUST" play. in my opinion, there is not another course that you MUST play. there are several, maybe dozens of, other good, even very good courses such as the courses at the world golf village in st. augustine. you'll love the valley course as well, very nice. the whole sawgrass complex is amazing.

regarding "things to do", there's not much other than the golf hall of fame, again, found at the world golf village. so if you're decision is go site-seeting or play another round or two of golf, i'd definitely choose golf and probably would send you to world golf village where you could play a couple good courses and hit the hall of fame. palencia golf club is probably my favorite that i've played outside of the sawgrass complex. and don't get talked into playing "old" sawgrass across the street from the stadium/valley courses, not worth the 1 minute drive.

i believe we have some posters from the area, so they should be able to help out even more....

these are a few of the courses i've played in the area:

King & Bear, World Golf Village St. Augustine, Florida
Palencia Golf Club St. Augustine, Florida
TPC Sawgrass - Stadium, Valley, OldPonte Vedra, Florida
Cimarrone Golf Club Jacksonville, Florida
St. John's Golf & Country ClubSt. Augustine, Florida
Slammer & Squire, World Golf VillageSt. Augustine, Florida

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
