TPC Sawgrass Green Fees and Tee Times

The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, the Pete Dye design that has staged The Players Championship since 1982, is one of the most public of the world's great courses and one of the most thrilling to play. Anyone can tee it up on the island green. Here is what it costs in 2026, how the booking window works, and how to fit the round into a Florida golf week.

The short answer

TPC Sawgrass is a daily fee public course, so there is no membership wall and no ballot, but the price swings hard with the calendar. In 2026 the Players Stadium Course runs about 550 US dollars from June through August, the warm and humid low season, and about 750 dollars across the peak winter and spring months, before climbing toward 1,000 dollars in the weeks immediately after The Players Championship when demand to walk in the champions' footsteps is at its highest. Pricing is dynamic, so the exact number moves with the date and the day's demand. The fee includes a cart, a forecaddie for the group and range balls, which is real value on a course this demanding.

The lesson is to pick your season and book early. A summer round saves hundreds of dollars and comes with empty fairways, at the cost of heat and the chance of an afternoon storm. A peak season round is pristine and pricey. Either way, the Stadium Course is the headline, and the quieter Dye's Valley Course next door makes a fine warm up the day before. Pair the two and you have the core of a Ponte Vedra Beach golf trip.

How to book, step by step

There are two routes onto the Stadium Course, and which you choose depends on how far ahead you are planning. The direct route is the simplest: book through the club, usually within a window of a few days, and pay the day's dynamic rate. This works well in the quieter summer months when times are plentiful, less well at peak season when the marquee morning slots go quickly. The dependable route for a peak trip is a TPC Vacations package, which lets you lock a Stadium Course time up to 12 months in advance, paired with a minimum one night stay at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa a short drive away. Book the stay and the round together and you remove the risk of arriving to a full tee sheet.

Whichever route you take, take the forecaddie that comes with the fee, because the local read on a Pete Dye course full of hidden contour, water and bail out angles is worth more than the gratuity. Arrive early to hit the range, study the island green from behind on the way out, and keep an extra sleeve of balls in the bag for the 17th. Then build the rest of the trip around it: a round at Dye's Valley, the TPC Scottsdale style buzz of the clubhouse, and the beaches and dining of Ponte Vedra and nearby Jacksonville.

When to go, and what to expect

Northeast Florida plays year round, and the best value sits at the edges of the calendar. The peak season from roughly January to May brings the firmest, greenest conditioning and the highest prices, along with the buzz of The Players in March. Summer from June to September is hot, humid and prone to afternoon thunderstorms, but the green fee falls by a couple of hundred dollars and the course is quiet. Autumn is a pleasant middle ground. Whenever you come, expect a par 72 of about 7,245 yards that asks for placement over power, a brilliant set of closing holes, and the most famous short hole in the game at the par 3 17th, a 137 yard island green ringed entirely by water. It is a bucket list round that, unlike many of the world's great courses, almost anyone can book.

How do you get a tee time at TPC Sawgrass?

TPC Sawgrass is open to the public, so you do not need to be a member.

Is there a forecaddie at TPC Sawgrass?

Yes. The Stadium Course green fee includes a cart, a forecaddie for the group and practice range balls, with the caddie gratuity paid separately. A forecaddie is a real asset on a Pete Dye design with hidden trouble, blind lines and the famous water, and most first time visitors find the local knowledge worth far more than the tip.

Can you play the 17th island green at TPC Sawgrass?

Yes. The par 3 17th, the island green that hosts The Players Championship, is played by every visitor on the Stadium Course. It measures about 137 yards and is ringed by water, and the pro shop sells a sleeve of balls many golfers are glad to have. Standard golf attire and soft spikes apply, and there is no handicap requirement to play.
