TPC Sawgrass in GSPro

Finding TPC Sawgrass in GSPro

View DPC Sodgrass

Sawgrass is in the directory under an alternate name: DPC Sodgrass, built by DPR-OPCD. Designers rename famous courses to sidestep licensing, so the version you play is inspired by Pete Dye's Stadium Course rather than an official recreation. The routing and the water are all there, including the hole you're here for.

It's free to download, with no Patreon needed. Search for “DPC Sodgrass” in the GSPro course browser, or open its page on The Course View to see the scorecard first.

Recommended Settings

Sawgrass isn't a links course, so wind isn't its main defense. Water is, and so are greens that Pete Dye built to reject anything but a precise shot. The test is nerve and target golf, not brute wind. Our settings lean firm rather than gusty:

The greens run fast at THE PLAYERS, so stimp 12 is fair here where it would be cruel on a links. Even a breeze changes the 17th completely, which is the point: a calm island green is a wedge, a windy one is a genuine test of nerve. If you're still choosing hardware, our launch monitor buyer's guide covers every unit that runs GSPro.

Holes to Know

Dye saved his best theater for the finish. The closing stretch is why people watch:

• Hole 16. A reachable par 5 that tempts you to go for the green in two with water right. Birdie here sets up the run home; a wet ball changes the whole tournament.
• Hole 17. The island green. A wedge of around 130 yards to a green ringed by water, and one of the most famous shots in the sport. We break it down in our best par 3 holes guide.
• Hole 18. A long par 4 curling left around water the whole way down. After surviving 17, you still have to hold your nerve off the tee with the lake staring at you.
• Hole 11. A long par 5 that rewards a bold second, one of the few real scoring chances on the back nine.

About the Real TPC Sawgrass

TPC Sawgrass sits in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and its Stadium Course opened in 1980 as the first course Pete Dye designed with spectators in mind, with mounding built to seat crowds around the holes. It hosts THE PLAYERS Championship, the PGA Tour's flagship event, every March, and the 17th island green has become the most recognizable hole in American golf. It is a public course, so anyone can go and find out what that wedge feels like for real.

Setting up at home

If Sawgrass has you thinking about a home setup, start with the launch monitor buyer’s guide, which compares every unit that works with GSPro. A few other things earn their place:

• Hitting mats (Amazon): you’ll hit that island-green wedge a hundred times; a good mat saves your wrists.
• Impact screens (Amazon): Dye’s water hazards look far more intimidating projected wall-size.
• Practice nets (Amazon): the cheapest way to swing full-out indoors before an enclosure.
