TPC Sawgrass Ponte Vedra
TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course
Stadium / Pete Dye tournament golf
The Stadium Course is the reason this destination exists for most traveling golfers. It is famous, theatrical, and legitimately demanding. The 16-17-18 finish is better in person than on television because the scale, wind, and group pressure all show up at once. Do it once, do it with the right expectations, and do not pretend the island green is the only thing happening out there.

An amazing experience was had. Every golfer must experience the stadium course at least once! We were fortunate to experience it and can't wait until we can do it again.
Don't forget breakfast before your round! Eggs Benedict was delectable!
