Sawgrass Marriott Resort

Sawgrass Marriott Resort

The Sawgrass Marriott Resort is situated in Ponte Vedra Beach just outside Jacksonville in North Florida. The resort is home to one of the most famous golf courses in the world, the TPC Stadium Course, designed by Pete Dye and home of the Players Championship on the PGA Tour.

If you fancy testing yourself against this tough layout including the devilish island green 17th, then there is only one way to do it, stay and play at the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa.

Resort facilities and amenities include 2 TPC championship golf courses, 18-Hole miniature golf course, 4 outdoor pools and 3 whirlpools, complimentary shuttle to beach and golf courses, fitness centre and Sawgrass Spa.

The resort underwent significant multi million dollar renovations in 2014 including the villas, hotel lobby, Vernon’s Restaurant, Alice & Pete’s Pub, Cabana Beach Club, 619 Oceanview restaurant and Cascades Deck. New to the resort as part of the renovations is the TPC Golf Cart Connection Path which now allows guests to travel by golf cart between the resort and the TPC Stadium Course.

Upon entering the resort, guests are welcomed to an open-air porte-cochère that will transform the welcome experience with elements of wood and stone surrounded by landscaped gardens. Throughout the lobby area, guests will see panoramic views of the 63-acre resort through floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the waterfall, lagoon, deck, swimming pools, Floating Hole and the nearby TPC Sawgrass course.

The lower lobby welcomes guests to a convivial space where they can gather, relax, read, dine and drink. New oversized furnishings and warmer hues set the tone for an inviting atmosphere that resembles that of a private residence.

Local attractions include Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Historic St. Augustine and the World Golf Village, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Sawgrass Golf

The Marriott Sawgrass Resort has two outstanding Pete Dye designed golf courses on-site. Consistently ranked among the top golf courses in the world and home to the Players Championship on the PGA Tour, the TPC Stadium course needs no introduction. It is one of Pete Dye’s iconic designs with the signature island green 17th hole well known to pretty much everyone who’s ever played golf.

The Stadium course is a strategists dream with decisions to make on virtually every hole, best not bring your B game!

With wide rolling fairways, larger greens and challenging water holes the Dye’s Valley Course is a gentler test than the Stadium course but is nevertheless a fun course to play.

We can also provide rates on a number of local courses including the highly rated Marsh Landing Country Club and Sawgrass Country Club. Before the TPC Sawgrass complex was built Sawgrass Country Club hosted the Players Championship with past champions including Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Mark Hayes, Raymond Floyd and Lanny Wadkins.

Marsh Landing runs along the Intracoastal Waterway and is an exclusive 18 hole private club with limited access to outside play but we can book tee times for guests staying at the Marriott Sawgrass Resort. It is recognised as one of the most scenic courses in Florida.

If you fancy a golfing day out then we can also book you on either of the two courses at the World Golf Village near St. Augustine, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame. King & Bear, named after it’s co-designers Arnold Plamer and Jack Nicklaus is the better of the two. It is a picturesque course with some memorable par 5’s. The Slammer & Squire course, named after Sam Snead and Gene Sarazon, consultants to designer Bobby Weed is also a picturesque layout with some excellent par 3’s framed by preserved woodlands and wetlands.
