TPC Sawgrass - Dye's Valley Course
Course Information
Address:
FL
United States
Architect: Pete Dye
Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass is a par-72 golf course designed by Pete Dye, Bobby Weed and player consultant Jerry Pate. Dye's Valley opened in 1987 and is adjacent to THE PLAYERS Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The course was originally designed for the PGA Tour Champions and measures 6,838 yards at par 72. The course presents a challenge with its undulations on the fairways, sweeping greens and water that comes into play upon every hole, and though milder than the Stadium Course, golfers must make accurate shots while fighting winds from the Atlantic Ocean, which is one mile away.
The course features pot bunkers and deep grassy basins around greens, water hazards lined with bulkheads, and large mounds bordering many holes, with Pete Dye's design trademarks present including a peninsula green angled over water. During a 2006 renovation, more than 300 trees were added and several bunkers were reconstructed to make them more challenging. One of the most notable holes is the 350-yard third, a par-4 that makes up for its modest length with a fairway that slopes sharply to the left and a tightly manicured collection area twelve feet below the green level. The course has recently hosted the Web.com Tour Championship.
