TPC Sawgrass Tee Times and Booking

The short answer

The Players Stadium Course is a public daily fee course, so anyone can play it, but the green fee is firmly at the premium end. For 2026 the rack rate is around 750 dollars per round in peak season, which covers most of the year, dropping to around 550 dollars from June through August. The fee includes a cart, a forecaddie for the group with the tip on top, and range balls. Pricing is dynamic, and in the high demand weeks just after THE PLAYERS Championship it can climb toward 1,000 dollars.

The practical takeaway is that the surest way to play is a stay and play package with the neighboring Sawgrass Marriott, which lets you book up to twelve months ahead and lock the tee time you want. You can also book directly with TPC Sawgrass up to fourteen days in advance, subject to availability, and the more affordable Dye's Valley course is a fine second round on the property. Decide early whether you are booking a package or a day round, because that choice shapes how far ahead you can plan.

How the pricing works

TPC Sawgrass uses dynamic pricing, so there is no single price for the Stadium Course, only a price for your particular date and the demand to play that day. The rack rate sits around 750 dollars through the peak months and eases to around 550 dollars in the summer heat, while the weeks immediately after THE PLAYERS Championship, when every visiting golfer wants to play the course they just watched on television, push the dynamic fee toward 1,000 dollars. The fee is all in for cart, forecaddie and range balls, which softens the headline a little.

That makes the round plannable once you understand the levers. If budget matters most, a summer round is markedly cheaper, with the trade off of Florida heat and afternoon storms that make an early tee time wise. If certainty matters most, a stay and play package booked months ahead is the answer, because it opens the twelve month booking window and ties the round to a room at the Sawgrass Marriott. Decide which matters more and the right booking follows.

How to book a tee time

The most reliable route is to book as a stay and play guest of the Sawgrass Marriott through TPC Vacations, which opens a booking window up to twelve months in advance. That is how most visitors secure a specific date on the Stadium Course, and it usually comes with breakfast and the option to add the Dye's Valley course. If you prefer to play as a day visitor, you can book directly with TPC Sawgrass up to fourteen days ahead, subject to availability, though the best times are often gone by then in peak season.

Whichever route you choose, plan early and be specific about your date and preferred time. The Stadium Course is a bucket list round and demand is high year round, so have a backup date ready, and remember that the green fee already includes the forecaddie who will make a first visit far more enjoyable and keep your group moving. Tip the forecaddie separately at the end of the round.

When to play, and what to expect

The Players Stadium Course is a Pete Dye par 72 of about 7,245 yards, a brilliant, fair and intimidating test that builds to the island green 17th and the water lined 18th. Peak season through the cooler, drier months brings the best conditions and the highest demand and prices, while summer is cheaper but hot and humid with a real chance of afternoon thunderstorms, so book an early time. The course keeps carts on the path to protect a tour standard surface, so plan your walk from path to ball.

Most visitors pair the Stadium Course with the Dye's Valley course on the same property and with the wider golf of northeast Florida around Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach. Whether Sawgrass is a single bucket list round or the anchor of a Florida trip, secure the Stadium time first and build the rest of the days around it.
