Any golfer who cherishes playing the world’s great courses will find the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to be one of the great treats of a Florida golf vacation.

Architect Pete Dye’s lustrous Stadium Course — a must-play links on a Florida golf vacation ever since the Players Championship started calling it home in 1982 — is full of unforgettable risk/reward holes.

With its infamous 130-yard, par-3 17th hole surrounded by water, the Stadium Course provides one of golf’s signature playing experiences.

And while the 17th etches the Stadium Course into our consciousness, any number of other holes merit raves and induce comparable amounts of terror.

No matter what other courses you play on your Florida golf vacation, the Stadium Course overshadows them.

In fact, the Stadium Course is so good, with so many memorable holes, it is worth noting that when planning a Florida golf vacation, two rounds at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass beat any other combination of courses near Ponte Vedra Beach every time.
