The proposal

Experience the 5^th Major from the inside.

A unique experience at a very reasonable cost. A week in Florida, playing a 4-round tournament in 4 different courses in the area, with a welcome cocktail, closing dinner and awards ceremony, visiting TPC Sawgrass to see the cutting rounds (Friday) and definition (Sunday) of THE PLAYERS, enjoying St. Augustine (the oldest city in the USA).

THE PLAYERS: The best of the PGA Tour for its players is the first highly competitive stop on the annual calendar, the most competitive field of the year and the bag that distributes the highest amount of money. A course designed and thought to be the best place in the world to see live golf. A very close experience and contact with the biggest stars of world golf and a party for people, with 250 thousand attendees throughout the week, and where 90% are not golfers.

The Golf

St. Johns Golf & CC

Opened in 2001, this demanding Clyde Johnston design of 7,236 yards deep and a 75.5 rating hosted the Q-School of the PGA Tour between 2004 and 2015.
It is a highly deployed layout, with highly visual par 3, interesting par 5, and several strategic par 4 that penalize the driver from the tee. Its final 4 holes are so long that they invite more to avoid mistakes than to attack.

The King & The Bear

The only course co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus with 7,279 yards from the bottom, it contains the typical wide Nicklaus fairways guarded by crossed bunkers and the characteristic Arnie “sand areas” that emerge as beaches and the stone edges so typical of Bay Hill. Oaks and pines over 200 years old appear on the 9 holes back, creating a beautiful play of shadows as the sun crosses the day.

The Palencia Club

It is a magnificent course adapted to the natural conditions of the terrain with 7,073 yards that meander between century-old oaks, the Intracostal Waterway and the Tolomato River, offering beautiful views. Its well-groomed fairways and greens keep it challenging but friendly. The club house of Spanish architecture (similar to St Augustine), offers a first class practice area, services enviable by any clu

Slammer & Squire

Co-designed by Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. It is a great golf course with a modern design, spread out on a terrain with a certain unevenness and mountains of trees on both sides. To highlight the par 3, playing with a difference in height from tee to green, and two of them with the green behind the water hazard. It also has very good par 5, long with mountains and soft dog-legs. It has a very interesting ending: 15 is a very short par 3 with water, 16 long par 5, 17 long par 4 uphill, and 18 down a semi-island green in front of the Hall of Fame. It is a fun and challenging field at the same time!

Accommodation

2* Southern Oaks Inn St. Augustine

Set amid an incredible landscape of beautiful beaches, historical sites, and old-world charm, Southern Oaks Inn is the premier destination for spacious, pet-friendly accommodations and top-tier hospitality in the Ancient City.

5* WGV Renaissance Resort by Marriot

Boasting a prime location, the Renaissance is the only hotel within the World Golf Village suburb and its tower is meters from the World Hall of Fame and the Slammer & Squire clubhouse. It offers a great experience with modern rooms, on-site restaurant, gym, outdoor pool, and breakfast.

Double Tree St. Augustine

The DoubleTree features rooms decorated in a contemporary style and an array of amenities, including WiFi, fitness center, outdoor pool, business center. The Oak Room Restaurant & Lounge offers a perfect place to relax and meet for a good meal or just enjoy a drink from the bar. It is located near the historic center of St Augustine, where you can find different tourist attractions.

Additional Information

Friday: Cut Day

Second day of play. The day that determines who makes the cut and who does not. It is the opportunity to see all players and the stars who, perhaps, haven't play their best golf will not be here this weekend to see them play at TPC Sawgrass.

Sunday: New Players Champ

The final three holes of the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course are probably the most intimidating of the entire PGA Tour season. Even with a big lead going into the final holes, the victory is not assured because a bad shot can cost a big number. As a spectator, on the other hand, holes 16, 17 and 18 are the most entertaining to see and where a total party is lived.

Other things to do

Thinking about playing more golf: due to its excellent location in Florida, we recommend extending the program by visiting a few hours' drive from some of the region's most emblematic places such as PGA National Resort, PGA Club, Streamsong Resort, Bay Hill or Trump National Doral.
