⚠️ Course Conditions

⏰ Tee Time Tips

• Avoid teeing off after 2:00pm during summer — risk of storms and slower pace.
• Try for early morning slots for the best greens and weather.
• Ask about replay rates, especially at Dye’s Valley and public options.

💡 Destination Tips

• Consider booking golf and lodging together for package savings.
• Bring extra balls — water and tight shots are common at Sawgrass.
• Avoid back-to-back rounds at Stadium + Ocean unless you're in good shape.
• Dine in nearby Jacksonville Beach for good seafood and casual spots.
