re: TPC Sawgrass

I suppose like all things...worth it depends on the price


I have played 6...7 times (perk of volunteering and having friends that have ....friends)

The back 9 is much more challenging to me than the front. 16. 17. 18 get all the pub but really 11 through 14 are all good holes. What makes TPC tough is having to be on point with distance control. Several yds off and you have a chip shot that will give you a double in a hurry ...practice a lot distance putting chipping. It also is beneficial to know how far you can carry your driver so you dont try to cut off too much and end up in waste bunkers

#8 par 3 (for me) is a par 4....I hate that d+:m hole

If you want to see just how good Tiger is....when you get to 16 stand on right center of the fairway at 190 out and picture the flag being 6..7.paces on the front..right...and think he took a 6 iron ...with the wind from the right...and stiffed it between the flag and water. Ive seen that flag position
And it looks like here is no where to land it


Dyes Valley ..played it once. Its tough but much tougher for first timers that don't know about the direction to hit. Hit several drives that i thought were fine...only to find that water tucked on behind a mound (hidden)
