Florida Golf Courses - Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa

Marsh Landings Country Club is often likened to a 6,800-yard nature preserve.

Test your skills on a 6,825-yard, par-72 golf course winding through pockets of intra-coastal marshes and towering pines, showcasing a spectacular year-round golfing experience and an extraordinary array of wildlife including ospreys, egrets and alligators!!

Water features heavily on the layout, which is reasonably flat and easy to walk depending on the time of year.

Marsh Landings is easily accessible from Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort and Spa, just a 10-minute drive through the residential secluded area of Marsh Landings Country Club.

Ponte Vedra's second test of golf is the Lagoon Course, masterpiece co-authored by two design geniuses — Robert Trent Jones with the front nine holes (1961) and Joe Lee with the back nine holes (1977).

In 2007, renowned architect Bobby Weed fully restored and enhanced the layout, adding further character and challenge to the golf experience. The restoration included new tees, fairways and greens, routing changes on several holes, new turf standards, improved irrigation and drainage, and a greatly enhanced landscaping theme. The restoration branded the Lagoon Course with its own unique identity while nicely complementing the Ocean Course.

The course, although not especially long, places a premium on accurate drives and thoughtful approaches. Water is definitely the dominant feature with a mosaic of lakes and lagoons threatening golfers on 11 holes. Tall pines, palms and ancient, sprawling oaks form the contours of this lushly landscaped course. Kept in immaculate condition, the fairways are narrow and the greens small and fast.

Designed in 1928 by famed British designer, Herbert Strong, the Ocean Course represents the area's first resort golf experience.

Lacking earth moving equipment, Strong used 100 mules dragging slip pans to shape course contours, dredge lagoons and build up a series of earthen mounds that dot the fairways, creating dramatic undulations.

In 1939, the Ocean Course was selected to host the prestigious Ryder Cup Match, an event that was unfortunately cancelled due to the onset of World War II. In 1942, after completing a match, golf legend Bobby Jones commented, "It's a course to challenge professionals." Five times in its history, the Ocean Course has proudly served as the site for the U.S. Open qualifying round.

The Ocean Course's 99 strategically positioned sand bunkers enhance the beauty and challenge of the golf experience. Designed to accommodate defensive pin positions, the elevated greens place a demand on thoughtful and accurate approach shots.

Dye’s Valley, like its famous sister Stadium Course, is a Pete Dye creation and boasts all the hallmarks of the legendary designer.

Mature trees and water hazards feature on every hole with several semi-island greens. The fairways are more generous than on the Stadium Course but the greens are still fast and undulating.

The Dye`s Valley Course has hosted the PGA Champions Tour Players Championship.

A venue for the PGA Tour Players Championship, regarded by some as golf’s fifth major, and home to one of the most famous holes in golf, the island green par-3 17th.

The TPC Stadium at Sawgrass is a tree-lined course set in a lagoon, with water a danger on every hole. With generous but slick greens and large bunkers the TPC is truly a great test of golf!

Designed by Pete Dye, the course will feature a number of enhancements for the 2007 season.
