TPC at Sawgrass

I played the Valley course October 12, 2009. To me the Valley course is much more beautiful than the Stadium course. While not easy, it is more fair than the Stadium (also a Pete Dye layout). The greens are extremely fast, but as is normal with fast greens they are true. While the greens were hard, if you spin the ball it would hold pretty good. I was surprised that the course was as dry as it was give the rain we normally get in Florida. Drives went a lot further as a result. The fairways are lush and the sand traps are well taken care of. The most fabulous clubhouse you will see, Great happy hour in the clubhouse, half off all drinks and appetizers. It is not uncommon see Pros at the course, I have played the TPC courses 4 times and have always seen a couple of pros.

I went to the Players Championship today and even though I didn't play, I walked the whole course and let me tell you, its in pristine condition. From Tee to Green the course is in perfect shape as it should be for the championship. When the PGA tour isn't there, green fees are pricy and are usually only done through Stay and Play packages. If you want to play a course with so much history and prestige, this is definitely your place.
