TPC Sawgrass - Dye's Valley Course

It’s a really nice course, but it’s not worth the almost $400 (including forecaddie) - bucket list, but wouldn’t bother playing it again

Dyes course needs a little more water compared to Sawgrass. Greens were in great shape. Tee boxes and rough a little disappointing.

The Valley course is nice. It’s not the Stadium course. Definitely enjoyed the day but I’ve played similar courses for less money.

The Dye course rough was not cut for a few days. Was very wet which is beyond their control. But the starter was cold and unfriendly, the lady in pro shop made my visit worth it. Was rained out which sucked.
For the money won’t be back.

Friendly professional staff and immaculate course conditions.

So, I booked on golf now paying for part of my round in advance. Found 2 other gentleman to play, so I called the course to add them. No problem. I overlooked the ongoing maintenance and punched/sanded greens. Get to check in, they charge me a full green fee, not even crediting me with my money I paid golf now. All they had were excuses as to why they were charging me full price. I think it’s a crime that a club that big, charging $200+ green fess couldn’t work this out for me. Very disappointed.

Not happy how we started out! We were two holes in and the marshal came over very rudely and said we need to pick up the pace and that we are 3 minutes behind LOL... told us several times.. 3 minutes behind… group of 4 in front of us we had to keep waiting on and NO ONE WAS behind us. The entire round he kept lingering and watching our group when we were the ones having to wait several times. Not once did anyone come up behind us. Made sure to remind us to keep pace. Hard to enjoy such a beautiful place when you’re being hovered over for absolutely no reason. How can we chip with all that going on Doug???

Had a fantastic round at the valley course. Conditions were superb! Play was well paced and we played 18 holes in 3:45
Finished with an incredible lunch in the Nineteenth!

Expensive round that is reflected in the quality of grounds maintenance and greens. Pace of play was fantastic and I could spend all day on the practice areas.
The course layout was nothing to write home about. There was no food ready to go at the club house, pre-made sandwiches or non-restaurant food is only located at the half way house. The first tee was chaos, they had us tee off on 10, went to 10 and the entire maintenance crew was on the hole so they drove us to 11 which was a par 3 (never fun starting on a 215 yard par 3). An 11th tee start was a new experience.

Fourth or fifth time playing the Valley. The conditions (as always) were excellent, and the staff top notch. Pace of play was a bit slow - now to be fair that may have had something to do with the 25+ mph gusts, so I'll give a bit of a break there. Given the facilities, etc..., you can presume this won't be an inexpensive track - you'll have to decide for yourself if you're willing to spend the $$$. That said - I'll be back.

The staff was amazing at making us feel welcome.
After playing 18, one of the staff took us out to 17 even though The Stadium course was closed. Showed us the island green and the memorable 18th.
The course was OUTSTANDING. Just like you’d imagine. Pace of play was on point.
Nothing to complain about with this round.

It’s a bit unfair to expect too much of Dye’s Valley given its world-class sibling, but it’s a solid resort golf course nevertheless. The vast majority of the trouble on this course flanks fairways and greens, so straight hitters will be rewarded for their precision. The par 3s are particularly good here, and the lack of overseed means more natural-looking fall/winter conditions than at the overseeded Stadium, which I appreciate.

Course was challenging, and in good shape. Great benefit having Nick as caddy. He did a great job and was helpful in play..and finding balls!
Expensive course, but enjoyed it.
