Course Advisor/Starter

TPC Sawgrass, located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is the birthplace of the TPC Network and the backdrop to PGA TOUR headquarters. Within the Mediterranean-Style, 77,000 square foot clubhouse, we provide our PGA TOUR Players, Families, Executives, Members and Guests with truly memorable culinary and service experiences in multiple dining outlets, beautifully appointed banquet and meeting spaces, and an expansive gallery. For the golf enthusiast, we provide a world class golf experience on either of our two PGA TOUR championship courses, including the famous Stadium Course, home to THE PLAYERS Championship.  If you are looking to improve your game, our PGA TOUR’s Performance Center offers lessons from the top PGA instructors in the industry as well as club fitting and fitness.

The Course Advisor/Starter monitors play on the golf course, and politely requests slow groups to speed up play. The Starter welcomes the Member and/or Guest to the course and reminds players of special play conditions, such as keeping cars on car paths.
