Home to the world-famous TPC Stadium Course, Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort is right up there with the most iconic destinations in all of golf. Every March, The PLAYERS Championship rolls into town and, yes, the par-3 17th (the Island Green) is every bit as intimidating in person as it looks on TV. That hole alone has delivered more drama than most courses manage in a decade. If you've ever wanted to test yourself on one of the best courses in Florida, this is the definition of a genuine bucket list experience.
Set on Florida's Atlantic coast at Ponte Vedra Beach, the resort is around two hours by road from Orlando International Airport. A popular play is to do a couple of nights at Orlando (theme parks, outlets, the lot) then head east for golf and the coast. Away from the Stadium Course, is another fantastic Pete Dye design the Dye Valley Course, plus plenty more quality golf within easy reach. The World Golf Hall of Fame in St Augustine is an easy add-on if you fancy an afternoon out. However you build it, Sawgrass is the kind of trip you'll be retelling in the clubhouse for years.
Who is this for?
Golfers and groups who want a Florida trip built around a genuinely iconic course, with a proper resort set-up for post-round downtime (spa, beach club, dining) and the option to bolt on Orlando or St Augustine.
Who is it best for?
Anyone who's always wanted to stand on the 17th tee at Sawgrass and have the "Right, don't chunk it" moment, plus couples and groups who want luxury facilities and plenty to do away from the course.

THE PLAYERS Stadium Course, designed by Pete Dye 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.
THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is ranked as one of the best courses in America

When staying at Marriott Sawgrass the Par-72 parkland layout created by Pete Dye is a must play addition to THE PLAYERS Stadium Course. Golfers will find water on every hole alongside immaculate fairways that lead to large greens.
At the end of a manageable drive from both Jacksonville and Orlando sits the four-star Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa, a smart base near Ponte Vedra Beach that's geared up for golfers and groups. The resort has 508 newly refurbished rooms across waterfront guest rooms, suites and two-bedroom villas, so you can keep it simple as a couple or scale it up for a society trip. If you're travelling with mates, the villas are often the easiest way to keep everyone together while still having your own space.
Accommodation includes 324 waterfront guest rooms, 24 suites and 80 two-bedroom villas. Rooms are elegant without being overdone, and you've got the essentials covered after a long day out on the Stadium Course: quality bathrooms, Wi-Fi, a fridge for drinks and snacks, plus in-room entertainment. The design is clean and comfortable, and the whole resort is built around the needs of golfers who want quality, convenience and a base that matches the calibre of the courses on offer.
You're not short of options. Café Italiano is the go-to for regional Italian, while the Augustine Grille covers a contemporary menu that works well for groups. For a lively post-round drink, Champs Lounge brings the late-night energy with live entertainment and dancing. Prefer something calmer? The Cabana Beach Club does classic grill favourites with ocean views, perfect for winding down after your round.
The Spa at Sawgrass has 19 treatment rooms set among a network of lakes and is ideal for recovery the day after you've taken on 17. The Cabana Beach Club is a real highlight of the resort, with direct beach access, water sports and plenty of space to switch off. There's also a tennis academy that hosts ATP Tour events and activity clubs for teenagers and under-12s, which makes it a solid option for mixed groups where not everyone is playing 36 holes a day.
With the TPC Stadium Course and four other championship layouts right on your doorstep, the Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa is one of the world's most desirable golf holiday destinations, offering the rare combination of tour-level golf, luxury accommodation and Atlantic coast relaxation all in one place. If Sawgrass is on your list, it's well worth locking in tee times early, especially around PLAYERS season.

Really poor hotel. Felt like a motel. Staff didn’t wash our bedding in 3 days- avoid at all costs.

Only stayed for one night. The hotel & staff are lovely but thought the food was overpriced.

Horrific accomodation, the Villas are like something from a Days inn out of the seventies. I had also requested twice about having a decent room as the lead booker and was told that would be subject to availability and actually got the worst room! 2 of the 4 parties complained and got upgraded to the main hotel which does show they did have availability all along. the only reason we didn't complain was a) we had unpacked and b) didn't want to cause a scene but safe to say, would not recommend the Villas. Also a low mark for the staff for the above points. Really disappointing last few days to a great trip.

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.

A total gem of a course that gets lost in the shadow of its big brother. Perfect as a warm up to the Stadium course, this has teeth as well. Highly enjoyable and subject to the same excellent around service as the main event.

Wow, this was the prelude to the main event and what a course Don’t be worried about this being the second course at Sawgrass it was awesome and very enjoyable A little shocked that we had to pay for a caddy in here as we thought that service was only in the stadium course but the reads they give you in difficult greens is very welcome Great course great service and we got happy hour in the bar too
