THE PLAYERS Stadium Course
THE PLAYERS Stadium Course recently underwent a historic summer-long restoration. 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.
Dye’s Valley Course
As sibling to the world renowned PLAYERS Stadium Course, Dye's Valley Course has had it share of legends competing on its manicured surfaces, with water on every hole. Dye's Valley Course was host to the Senior PLAYERS Championship at Dye's Valley in 1988 and immediately garnered a prestigious winner, Billy Casper. In 1989, former U.S. Open Champion, Orville Moody shot a course record of 64 in the third round to outdistance Charles Coody and Gary Player. 1990 marked the last year of this event on Dye's Valley. It has also been home to the Cadillac NFL Golf Classic and the United Van Lines Aces Championship.

The layout features beautiful tree-lined fairways and mildly undulating greens, which demand proper shot placement and a deft touch with the short game.
