You must stay at the Sawgrass Resort to play this course. Designed by Pete Dye, Bobby Weed, and player consultant Jerry Pate, the Valley Course is the “younger brother” of the Stadium Course. Finished in 1987, the golf course has hosted events such as the SENIOR PLAYERS Championship, the NFL Golf Classic, and the final stage of Senior Qualifying School. Water comes into play on 6,838 yards along 18 holes, while fairways filled with hills and valleys create additional challenges. The Valley Course is a bit milder than its sister course, but it has more undulation in the fairways than the Stadium Course. Because this facility is situated only one mile from the ocean, the wind can become a major factor.
