Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa

6 / 10

Having stayed at both the villas and the hotel, I prefer the hotel, but it could do with an uplift. Pete and Alice bar does great food, beware the portions are massive.

Check in to the hotel and thought we had been upgraded to a villa ! Rather than the hotel It’s just blocks of rooms down the road from hotel Did not eat in the hotel and back to hotel reasonably early due to early tee time next day Called reception twice to get someone to come and fix air con blowing massive cold air then hot air Yes sir someone will be there shortly Eventually opened the patio door to try to get someone sleep but still no engineer to this min 2 days later Reported it to reception on check out and they said they never had any calls from my room but lots of calls about other rooms Hand and towel rails falling off walls def in need of a re furbishment soon No sleep and no aircon spoilt the night before a great days golf Amazing location for golf and great restaurant nona blue over the road 👏

A few issues with the hotel which is a shame as the golf resort is incredible. First of all they had one room as a double and wouldn’t change it so two had to share a bed. On top of that the staff at reception didn’t really know what they were doing. Also, they told us as it was a golf booking that breakfast was at the golf club but when we got there it wasn’t so ended up having to pay for breakfast twice even though it should have been included

we were given a king bed even though we requested a twin room and when we requested to switch we were told the hotel was full and were given a rollaway to sleep on which ws not at all comfortable to be honest.

Comfortable hotel, great staff.

6 / 10

Hotel is clean and tidy but bit dated, could do with referb. Food overpriced and not the best, breakfast was a total ripoff. Go to the local diners, much better. Nothing goes on at the hotel on evenings, could do with some entertainment.

10 / 10

Room maybe needed at little TLC but clean and comfortable.

8 / 10

Try and stay in the hotel . The villas are a bit dated

I have given this rating as we were in the "Villas" at the hotel and having stayed at the hotel before there is a marked difference in the quality. The villas are dated and the air conditioning is some of the loudest I have ever experienced. I'm afraid, with the exception of the bell staff, the staff seem to be poorly trained and as a result service suffers. The hotel accommodation therefore detracted from the golf which was the main reason for our stay

Arrived at the hotel late after a delay at airport.. staff at hotel were quick to check us in and straight to bed after a long day. Had breakfast in Vernon's then got our clubs to the shuttle to the tpc course.

8 / 10

Stayed in Twin Rooms adjacent to main hotel. Rooms were spacious and clean, main Hotel building had good bar and regular transport to the Sawgrass golf course.

6 / 10

Ok hotel, functional rather than anything special. Breakfast was solid but not cheap. Nice omelette. Bar/pub was good.

10 / 10

Superb in every way…excellent

We stayed in this hotel prior to playing Sawgrass. The hotel is vast and we didn't really get to see or use most of the facilities as we were only there for one night after a late evening checkin. We were not in the main hotel but a few hundred yards away in one of the lodges ( these are really small apartment blocks in reality ). Rooms were basic but clean. We didn't actually eat on site. We went down for the breakfast buffet and were told that the breakfast was included in our rate, great ! Our waitress brought coffee etc and then another waitress turned up and said it wasn't included in the rate ! but we could have it at $30 per head !!!.............goodbye . So we went down the road to a local diner which was very good. Only other small gripe was the $20 per night parking charge ! bit rich considering how much you pay to stay there. Overall, its a hotel and unfortunately a requirement if you want an advance tee time on the stadium course.

Good hotel with ideal location next door to TPC Sawgrass.

8 / 10

Hotel staff and bar were quality , room in the villas were a bit dated and a few items were broken, not bad really and had a nice balcony

8 / 10

Nice hotel but a little tired round the edges also charge for Wi-Fi per day very poor

6 / 10

An excellent location but frankly a very tired hotel, especially if you're in the villas, which to be honest have the feel of a motel. The weak link in the Sawgrass experience.

8 / 10

Very nice stay

8 / 10

Bar closed at midnight despite it being very busy. Shower was difficult to operate in the room. Room was very nice though

2 / 10

The hotel is very tired and badly needs investment. on our first night we arrived at 10pm to be told that the bars were closed, there is no room service and nowhere close by to buy anything. one of our party found 1 teabag in their room and went to reception to ask for more and was given 1 teabag. Without doubt this is the worst Marriott we have ever stayed at.

Comfortable spacious and clean, with superb facilities

Again we were not in the Main Part of the Hotel, but in the Villa Area which was excellent and not too far from the Main Hotel complex. The Rooms were again spacious, clean and comfortable. We ate at the Pub in the Hotel and the Food was Plentiful, Tasty and reasonably priced. Again as in most cases, the Service was very good.

Stayed at the villas staff normal Marriott standard Was complete contrast to Bay Hill

8 / 10

The stay was very good however i am still trying to recoup monies from the Pre authorisation payment that the took at the start of the holiday.

10 / 10

Absolutely fantastic

6 / 10

The proximity of the hotel to TPC Sawgrass is the only reason I stayed here. The hotel is old and looking very tired and in need of refurbishment. The staff are all very helpful and professional. The restaurants were very average and were practically empty every night.

10 / 10

This hotel is pristine, drinks are not cheap but service and location are excellent. Some great Restaraunts in area. But little nightlife it’s all about the golf once you get to TPC SAWGRASS

10 / 10

Great hotel/we all loved it

8 / 10

Really nice hotel with friendly staff We stopped in the villas which were nice and quiet and a pleasant walk through the hotel grounds took us to main part of the hotel Just a short walk off site (10mins) and there were some really nice restaurants Try nona blue you won’t be disappointed

YGT customised my golf trip to ensure that the courses, accommodation, car hire and flights were tailored to suit my bespoke wishes. YGT clearly had an in-depth understanding of all the options for the destinations that I was interested in. Speaking to an actual golfer about the options for a golf holiday is definitely a bonus!
 
I arrived at Sawgrass on the Friday evening and was immediately seduced by the soothing atmosphere of the Marriot hotel and surrounding estate. Driving along PGA Tour Boulevard and Seven Mile Drive, seeing the pictures of past winners of the The Players Championship, makes you feel like you are in a very special golfing venue.
 
The Saturday morning sunsine laid bare the full glory of the courses on the estate. Seeing the sun rise over the dew on the practice ground was a sight that any golfer would yearn for. I decided to have breakfast in the Sawgrass clubhouse whilst I looked over the course guide, to plot my way around the course hole by hole. The clubhouse feels like it has been there since the 19th century, such is the old world splendour of the building and the history behind the many pictures and stories.

I was lucky enough to meet one of the many volunteers that morning, Hal Fletcher, who talked me through the history of the course as a venue for The Players Championship and its path from untouchable swamp land to one of the most revered golf venues in the world. Hal exuded the spirit of Sawgrass, was charming, funny and great company. He took me on a tour of the 16th, 17th and 18th holes too. Each turn on the route was accompanied by an anecdote that was unforgettable. Especially memorable was the story of infamous Angelo Spagnolo who carded a 3 over par 66...on the 17th alone!
 
I played the Stadium and Valley courses on 2 occasions each. The pairings were fun and the anticipation on the 1st tee at Sawgrass was immense for each golfer in the group. From the pro-shop staff right through to the starter, everyone seemed to be in a romantic state because of the surroundings. This added to the all round experience on the day.
 
YGT understand what it organise a great golf trip. Their staff and packages are first class and I can't wait to get in touch for my next trip.
