Weather on the Atlantic coast of Florida is perfect in the Fall, making this a great beach-and-golf getaway, plus the chance to try the famous 17th Island Green on Pete Dye's legendary PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. The course is ranked by Golf Magazine among the top 80 golf courses in the world, and ranked #1 by Travel & Leisure on their list of Best Resort Courses in Florida.
Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa, named “One of the Top 10 Best Golf Resorts in the World” by Travel + Leisure, is located in Ponte Vedra Beach between Jacksonville and St. Augustine on the Florida coast. The second-largest golf destination in the U.S., the resort features 508 guest rooms, suites and villas, the Spa at Sawgrass, four swimming pools and access to 26 miles of Atlantic beach at the Cabana Club.
Golfers from around the world come to TPC Sawgrass to try to make a dry landing and sink a putt on the island green, the one that Tiger missed at THE PLAYERS 2009, and to challenge themselves to play a bogey-free round, as Henrick Stenson did in the largest comeback in THE PLAYERS history, with a six-under 66 and a four-shot victory.
