So, you're ready to check a major item off your golf bucket list: playing the 17th island green at TPC Sawgrass. As a Ponte Vedra local and the founder of Sawgrass Ponte Vedra Golf Experiences, I can tell you firsthand that it is absolutely worth it.
Yes, prices have gone up, but this is truly a top 10 world golf course and experience, in my opinion. The thrill of standing on that 17th tee box is something you will never forget.
But what does it really cost to play? The price isn't just a simple greens fee. Here is a complete breakdown of the costs for TPC Sawgrass's courses and, more importantly, how to get the most value out of your trip.
The Main Event: THE PLAYERS Stadium Course Pricing
This is the one you've seen on TV. It's Pete Dye's masterpiece, the home of THE PLAYERS Championship, and a course that will test every club in your bag.
**Peak Season (September – May):** During the prime Florida golf season, a round on the Stadium Course starts at $750 per player. Be aware that TPC Sawgrass uses dynamic pricing, so for high-demand tee times, this rate can (and often does) climb to $850 or $900+.
**Off-Season (June – August):** If you're willing to brave the summer heat, you can get a significant discount. Rates during this period start at $550 per player.
The "Hidden Gem": Dye's Valley Course Pricing
Don't overlook the second course on the property. Dye's Valley Course, also a Pete Dye design, has hosted PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour events. It's a spectacular track in its own right and a "must-play" to round out your trip.
**Peak Season (September – May):** Rates start at $325 per player.
**Off-Season (June – August):** Rates start at $225 per player.
What's Included in Your Greens Fee?
That high price tag isn't just for 18 holes. The rate for both courses includes:
- Your greens fee - A golf cart - A full bag of practice balls - A group forecaddie
**Insider Tip:** The forecaddie fee is included, but the gratuity is not. The suggested tip is $40 per golfer, so be sure to factor that into your budget.
How to Get the Best Value (Hint: Don't Just Book a Tee Time)
Here's how you can get a better deal and, more importantly, a better experience.
**The "Stay and Play" Package:** TPC Sawgrass partners with the adjacent Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa. Bundling your room and golf in a "Stay and Play" package will often get you a discounted rate on your golf. But the biggest advantage is the booking window: resort guests can book tee times up to 12 months in advance, while the general public can only book 14 days out.
**The Concierge Difference: A Seamless, Bundled Experience:** This is where a service like Sawgrass Ponte Vedra Golf Experiences comes in. The "Stay and Play" packages are a great start, but they don't cover your transportation, your dining, or the special experiences that make a trip truly memorable.
Because we are a local concierge, we can bundle your entire trip—private transportation, dinner reservations, and other special experiences—with your accommodations and tee times. By booking everything as a complete package through us, we can often get you an even better overall price than you could by booking each piece separately.
Don't Just Play Golf—Have the Full TPC Experience
A round at TPC Sawgrass doesn't end when you putt out on 18. The 77,000-square-foot clubhouse is a destination in itself, steeped in PGA Tour history.
The perfect way to end your day is at the "Nineteen at TPC Sawgrass" pub. This is where we add that final concierge touch. We can make sure you get into the pub right after your round, and we know the key: getting a table on the veranda, which has unbelievable views looking back on the 18th hole. It is the perfect place to relax, raise a glass, and talk about your once-in-a-lifetime round.
