While the 17th hole of TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course is the most recognizable, its 11th hole is a beauty, too.
The PGA Tour is playing the “fifth major” at TPC Sawgrass this week.

A new course to play on Florida golf vacations: the Jim McLean Signature Course at Doral Golf Resort (hole 13).
Miami, Florida’s Doral Golf Resort must think its “new” course is so nice, they had to open it twice.
The Jim McLean Signature Course, which is a complete overhaul of what was the forgettable Silver Course, opened back in June. But that didn’t stop Doral from having a “grand opening” two weeks ago. Read more →
The Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort provides a unique experience on Florida golf vacations.
What names come to mind when I say “Florida golf resorts?”
Doral? PGA National? Grand Cypress? Bay Hill?
I bet Tampa’s Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club wasn’t one of them.
But maybe it should be.
In addition to starting its third year under new ownership, Innisbrook is located in a lovely, natural setting that is anything but “typical Florida,” and its four golf courses offer one thing in particular that most rival Florida courses can only dream about. Read more →
You can now play the world's first Waldorf Astoria golf course on Florida golf vacations.

The 17th hole is often the highlight of rounds at TPC Sawgrass and Florida golf vacations.
Most weeks, the courses you see during the PGA Tour telecast are private. But not this week. Anyone can play the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, host site of the Players Championship, and we just love that.
Many of you must love it, too, because, for the last few years on the Monday after the Players Championship, and for weeks thereafter, we get flooded with questions about playing TPC Sawgrass on a Florida golf vacation.
