The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass

The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is one of golf's most iconic venues. The Pete and Alice Dye course is renowned worldwide for its distinctive design and challenging layout. Opened in 1980, it serves as the venue for The Players Championship, one of the PGA TOUR's most prestigious events. This annual event attracts the world's top golfers and a large international audience.

Spanning more than 7,189 yards, the Players Stadium Course was designed to improve the fan experience, incorporating raised mounds and grassy stands around many holes to improve spectator visibility during tournaments. The par-72 course is also designed to test all playing styles. Its balanced layout includes expansive bunkers, doglegs with tempting hazards, and undulating greens.

The Stadium Course is best known for its signature 17th hole, famously dubbed the "Island Green." This par-3 hole tests even the most elite golfer's precision and strategy. With water nearly encircling the entire green, many players opt for a safe approach, aiming for the green's center. This strategy reduces the margin of error to a manageable par.

The Players Stadium Course and its companion, Dye's Valley Course, offer a challenging, rewarding, and memorable experience for any golf enthusiast.
