Fodor's Expert Review Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa
1000 PGA Tour Blvd., Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, 32082, USA
Golf is at the heart of this luxurious resort, but there's no lack of opportunity for other recreation or for sheer indulgent relaxation, if that's what you're after. Besides offering access to the renowned Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, which hosts THE PLAYERS Championship each year, the resort has trails for jogging or biking, as well as an acclaimed 18-hole miniature golf course that appeals to the whole family. There are plenty of other activities for the kids, too. Or, you can simply laze about in the highly regarded spa or by one of the many swimming pools. It's not an oceanfront resort, but that's just a technicality: the exclusive oceanfront Cabana Beach Club is a three-minute drive or shuttle ride away. The elegant hotel tower is home to several casual restaurants and lounges, including Alice & Pete's Pub and the upscale Vernon's First Coast Kitchen & Bar featuring farm-to-table cuisine.
