This itinerary collects the three courses that represent the upper tier of Sawgrass-area golf. Two sit at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, and the third anchors Amelia Island's resort golf offering an hour north. Together they cover Pete Dye's most famous tournament design, a Bobby Weed redesign on the same property, and a Tom Fazio coastal layout through salt marshes and oceanfront dunes.
Fly into Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and drive the 40 minutes south to Ponte Vedra Beach. Check into the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa, which sits adjacent to both TPC courses and provides the most direct booking path for Stadium Course access.
The round everyone came for. Request a morning tee time.
Check out of the Marriott and drive one hour north to Amelia Island. The change of setting is immediate.
If staying at the Omni, the morning is free for the resort's pool deck, beach, or a walk through the nature center before the one-hour drive to JAX. Allow 75 minutes for the drive and airport processing.
The trip splits naturally between two bases. The Sawgrass Marriott ($300 to $550 per night) anchors the first two nights with on-site TPC access and stay-and-play packaging. The Omni Amelia Island ($300 to $500) provides the third night with Long Point access. Alternatively, all three nights at the Marriott work with a day-trip drive to Amelia Island, though the one-hour each way makes it a longer day.
A rental car is required for the airport transfer, the Amelia Island drive, and any off-property dining. Green fees total approximately $925 to $1,275 for the three rounds. Lodging runs $900 to $1,600 for three nights. Rental car, meals, and incidentals account for the remainder.
The three courses offer distinctly different experiences: Dye's tournament design at its most intense, Weed's thoughtful redesign at a more accessible register, and Fazio's restraint in a natural coastal landscape. The sequence moves from calibration to climax to contrast, which is the rhythm of a well-constructed golf trip.
