As of 2021, it has the biggest purse ($15,000,000) and winner's share ($2,700,000) among all Tour events. Yes, the Tour Championship pays more. In 2019, the Tour Championship's "bonus pool" reached a record $70,000,000 with $15,000,000 going to the 1st place winner alone, but that money isn't considered official earnings by the Tour. Instead, it's considered FedExCup "bonus money." The Players Championship is often regarded as the "fifth major." It's a prestigious event that draws top-notch fields year in and year out. The event is owned and operated by the PGA Tour. It's held annually in March (previously May) at TPC Sawgrass where the Tour's national headquarters are located. TPC Sawgrass has two courses, the famous Players Stadium Course where this tournament takes place, and the lesser-known, but still great Dye's Valley course, designed by legendary course architect Pete Dye and Bobby Weed. The Players Stadium Course is unique and stunning, filled with numerous water hazards and large, long bunkers that run parallel to many of the fairways. Like the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale where the Waste Management Phoenix Open is held and Augusta National Golf Club where the Masters is held, The Players Stadium Course was designed with spectators in mind. The par-3 17th hole island green is one of the most iconic in golf. The course has appeared in several video games, most notably EA Sports' PGA Tour. Oh yeah and the clubhouse? Talk about one of the most beautiful and grandiose in golf. The Players Stadium Course is also made for TV. The TV coverage, which has been handled by NBC and Golf Channel in recent years, is second only to CBS and the Masters, in my opinion. I'm sure it has to do with the Tour's complete involvement with this course and event. Like the Masters, in addition to limited commercial interruptions, coverage of The Players includes better-than-average shot tracking and statistics and video-game-like 3D models of the greens for enhanced analysis. Many of golf's biggest names and greatest players have won this event. Congratulations to the latest Players champion, Justin Thomas, who won this year (2021). I've never seen JT so emotional after a win than after he won The Players this year. Some of my favorite players to win in the past decade include Jason Day (2016), Rickie Fowler (2015), Tiger Woods (2013), and Matt Kuchar (2012 - Go Jackets!). Rory McIlroy (2019), Webb Simpson (2018), Sergio Garcia (2008), and Phil Mickelson (2007) have also won. Jack Nicklaus has the most wins (3) followed by Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Hal Sutton, Davis Love III, and Tiger (all tied at 2 each). However, Jack's three victories occurred before the tournament moved to TPC Sawgrass in 1982. I will end this review with two memorable moments at The Players on 17. In 2015, Kuch chipped one-handed with his back to the green: https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1369634412778954758. In 2019, Kevin Na walked his putt in and Tiger followed suit: https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1369276659300524032.

Amazing PGA Instructor!…read more I highly recommend Thomas Crumrine, PGA Certified Instructor at Bent Creek. From the very beginning, he took the time to ask questions and understand my goals, learning style, and experience level before offering any instruction. He used analogies that immediately clicked for me. Instead of generic tips, Tommy connected every lesson back to things I could easily understand, making each adjustment feel natural. Beyond being an excellent teacher, Tommy is approachable, patient, and clearly has a deep knowledge of the game. His personalized coaching style made the lesson both enjoyable and effective. I absolutely recommend scheduling a lesson with him.

I was doing dry January so it was Gatorade followed by shots of pickle juice for me. I just learned that the land here was once a settlement of Mocama people. After them Don Juan McQueen had a slave plantation here. When you are on the course along the marsh, it is cool to think of how historical this land is and the people who once lived here thousands of years ago.

There is a gym with tennis courts, a pool, and a soccer field near the front of the community. There is practically anything you could ever need in the gym and I think it is a great recreational facility. There is also a clubhouse that has its own pool. The clubhouse is great for private events since it has a wonderful view of the golf-course. I've personally attended several college and graduation events here and was always impressed. The golf course is lovely and lush. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery. One of my favorite holes looks out over the inter coastal. Overall a lovely place to live and hangout!

Many courses in Jax are in way worse shape and almost double the cost. Starter was a little on the worthless side (a kid) - a five-some went out in front of us - one guy was walking and wearing a tee shirt, and he didn't have his own bag. That's the reason for minus one star. Thankfully, they only played 9 holes. The cart lady Jules was really nice. We ordered hot dogs at the turn and she delivered them to us on the 11th hole. Great service and very friendly. Looking forward to coming back soon.

All the website said about weekends was that the green fees with a cart is $35 on weekends. Imagine my surprise to get here at 730 am and find it packed. Kind of a wasted trip. And I received a little aggressiveness about not knowing, "well this is every weekend...." Ok? This is my first weekend morning here. It would just be nice if the website said ANYTHING about it so I could've planned something else.

Pool: gets full of kids, but hey, we love that! Food: pretty good. Fairly standard. But good courteous service. Can eat outside facing the ocean which is nice. Don't particularly like everyone coming up the stairs from the beach checking out my meal, but there are other tables! Valet service if you can't make the 40 yard walk from the parking area. Plenty of curbside golf cart parking RIGHT next to the beach entrance. FYI: This place is private, requires a code to get in (gates to cars and to the club). Overall I love it and it will be sad when we're not renting here and I can only longingly look from the road as I drive by.

This is a great addition to the beaches and one I happened on quite by accident. I had just moved back to the beach and was going to take an old shortcut that only us natives braved when low and behold I was in a round about looking at baseball fields and stretches of green! How cool, and how aggravating now I had to turn around and go the long way, but not before I checked it out. Wingate is sixteen acres of open land that includes two adult softball fields, two football fields, two T-Ball fields, two little major league fields, and one girls' softball field. That's a lot of fields and they all get used. Chances are if you are on a team, you have played here or at least sat in the bleachers and watched. There is also Paws Park which is a place where dogs roam free. Well inside the fence that is! There are separate areas for large and small dogs that have city provided shade and water. I am glad we have something of this size at the beach. We needed it for a long time.
