Marriott Sawgrass - TPC Stadium Course
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
 Regarded
as Pete Dye's masterpiece, the TPC Stadium Course has become the
crown jewel of the courses played on the PGA TOUR. Before the course
came along in 1980, few golf courses that hosted major golf events
were accessible to the general public. Now there are some 21 TPC
Courses available to the public in the U.S. Many golfers remember
that the layout was very controversial when it first opened because
it was so difficult. However, Dye listened and made changes to soften
the course and make it "more fair." Through the years,
there is no question that it has become one of the most popular
courses with the Players. Huge mounds bordering the fairways provide
an amphitheater type of setting making players feel like they are
on center stage. You'll feel that way too, especially as you attempt
to keep on dry land on the infamous 17th island green.
