Fodor's Review:

One of the top golf resorts in the country and host hotel of the world-famous THE PLAYERS Championship, the Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa has plenty to offer golfers, including playing privileges on the renowned TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course. This is truly a full-service resort, whether you've come to laze about (the resort includes a 25,000-square-foot, full-service spa and allows guests access to the Cabana Beach Club, a private beach club nearby) or get active playing an Arnold Palmer-designed 18-hole mini-golf course, swimming in one of four pools or fishing in freshwater lakes and ponds. A $16-million room-renovation project in 2007 has given the resort a face more befitting its name. Pros: championship golf courses; readily available shuttle; efficient staff. Cons: beach not within walking distance; overrated food; no free parking.

I went for the golf and my wife took advantage of the fine Spa. TPC Sawgrass was in impeccable condition following 'THE Players' Championship...I finally got to play that 17th island hole. Marie fell in love with the treatments at the Spa and I must admit that the food and service was top notch (I couldn't fit in any desserts...those damn American portions)! However, make sure and try the Beef Carpacio...amazing! The rooms have just been renovated and it was very pleasant watching last night's golf highlights on a huge plasma screen every morning! I couldn't fault a thing - what a pity I couldn't bring the weather back with me to Ireland!
