Golf enthusiasts hoping to get a first-hand look at the famous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass can do so without paying a dime. That's right. Nada.
Sawgrass offers complimentary tours of the Stadium Course's final three holes, as TPC Storytellers will guide the visitors, give insight about the history of the course and shot exact spots where history was made. Above, my son Joseph was beyond excited to see the island hole last Saturday afternoon and yearns to play it. For now, he'll have to settle for Tiger Woods' video game.
You can also be given a free tour of Sawgrass' magnificent clubhouse, which features a number of plush banquet halls, meeting rooms, restaurants and a pro shop second to none. While you're there, you could play the Stadium Course, but the going rate for 18 these days is close to $300. Summertime rates could dip below $200, so you might want to wait.
Sawgrass is located about 30 minutes from downtown Jacksonville, Fla., in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., on A1A. If you happen to be heading toward the Jacksonville area and you've always wanted to tour this magnificent golf course, why not drop in?
