The Pete Dye-designed PLAYERS Stadium Course is home to one of the most challenging and photographed holes in the world, the famed 17th Island Green. It is also home to THE PLAYERS Championship, one of the most coveted titles in golf. Enhancements made as part of an extensive restoration of the course have elevated both the tournament and competitive play to a higher level. The PLAYERS Stadium allows golfers to experience access usually reserved exclusively for PGA TOUR players.

THE PLAYERS Stadium Course Renovation
THE PLAYERS Stadium Course recently underwent a historic summer-long restoration in 2006. The tees, fairways and greens were rebuilt with new sand and a modern drainage system to encourage "firm and fast" conditions. Offline shots are more likely to roll into difficult spots among or behind 200 newly planted trees (oaks, pines and palms). Natural waste areas, lower-level bunkers, greenside chipping areas and water hazards may also
come into play more often. The course will not be over-seeded with ryegrass, as was necessary for the previous March date of THE PLAYERS, resulting in a faster playing surface year-round. But more than the changes, Pete Dye said the alterations will allow for one basic tenet: a better course year round.
