TPC Sawgrass

Pete Dye's THE PLAYERS Stadium Course is among the most famous in the world, and is the annual host to the so-called ‘fifth major', the Players Championship. The highlight, which goes without saying, is the incredible 17th hole with its island green, which has to be one of the most exhilarating golf experiences anywhere. Look past the most discussed hole and the TPC Stadium Course presents an exacting 6,954 yard layout, whose fairways and greens are pristine. No less than $30 million has been invested in the course, and the work completed in 2006 has affirmed the amazing Players' Course at the forefront of golf in Florida and beyond.

The trophy and awards cabinet of the THE PLAYERS Stadium Course is already overflowing, but it has recently been ranked 5th in Golf Magazine's list of the ‘Top 100 Courses You Can Play'.

THE PLAYERS Stadium Course is ranked as one of the best courses in America

Signature Hole: Hole 17, Par 3, 137 yards, SI 14

The concept for the signature hole for Sawgrass was supposedly drawn up on the back of a cocktail napkin by Alice Dye. It has now become one of the most famous holes in golf and one which Luke Donald branded as "Do or Die. The island green is a favourite amongst many PGA Tour players and coming in at 17 has been known to make or break a round. A must play hole for any golfer.

This addition to TPC Sawgrass is Pete Dye's Valley Course, which is already regarded as being worthy of standing side-by-side with the TPC Stadium Course, and has also hosted the PGA Tour's finest.

The ambitious project reflects Dye's extravagant design ethos, and the result is a magnificent 6,838 yard championship layout overflowing with water and sand. Perfectly manicured fairways and slick, sweeping greens are among the characteristics that make the Valley so popular.
