TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course)
TPC Sawgrass is home to one of the most recognizable stages in golf — the iconic island green at the 17th. Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1980, the Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, was purpose-built to host The Players Championship, golf’s “fifth major.”
The course is a masterclass in risk and reward. Narrow fairways, water on nearly every hole, and Dye’s signature bunkering create a layout where boldness is rewarded and hesitation is punished. Each round is a spectacle, culminating at the 17th, where pressure and precision meet on the smallest target in championship golf.
Cypress & Salt curates TPC Sawgrass experiences that blend golf with Florida luxury. Guests enjoy stays at the Marriott Sawgrass or oceanfront resorts, curated seafood dining, spa indulgence, and private yacht excursions. Playing the Stadium Course is a bucket-list moment, elevated into a seamless luxury escape.
