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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
