TOURNAMENT PLAYERS CLUB
AT SAWGRASS™ – STADIUM COURSE
Design: Pete Dye with consultation by Deane Beman
Founded: 1980
Founded: 1980
Former PGA TOUR Chairman Deane Beman envisioned a series of courses
designed specifically for hosting top-flight tournaments before large galleries.
The first, and perhaps best, product of his vision was the TPC at Sawgrass™.

Built across the highway from the Atlantic Ocean, TPC at Sawgrass was intended
to become the fifth major tournament on the PGA TOUR. PGA TOUR Pros,
however, found the new course to be unfair to players, and Dye went back to
the drawing board in 1983 to smooth some course features. A target design,
TPC at Sawgrass debuted the concepts of stadium golf: plenty of undulating
terrain and carefully placed pot bunkers. Nearly every one of the eighteen
holes is flanked by water to challenge the most seasoned golfers. Experience
on the course pays dividends, as the numerous blind shots and quick greens
become less troublesome. However, slender fairways demand consistent shots
to finish with a good score.

The signature of the course, the lovely island of Hole 17 has spelled doom for
innumerable rounds, as there is no margin for error. If the pin is at the front of
the green, use a pitching wedge. If it’s at the back, you should consider a
nine-iron. Either way, hit a straight tee shot, or put on your wading boots.
While Hole 17 gets all of the accolades, Hole 18 can catch you off-guard.
Water runs down the left side of the hole, yet a tee shot pushed away from it
can leave you with a difficult approach to the tiny green. Overshooting the
green can plop you in the bunkers at the back. Good luck and have fun….

This course is a slender and temperamental beauty. Drop your shots on
the Bermuda grass of the fairways, or you may be hacking through the
jungle to find it.
