designed to enhance the timeless appeal of Florida's premier golf, spa
and beach destination resort. The project touched every detail of the
63-acre oceanfront address, and in turn created a resort designed to
welcome leisure and business travelers alike.
Designed
by a collaboration of MLG Architects, Monogram by Callison, Testani
Design Troupe and EDSA, the transformation focused on creating a natural
beach resort atmosphere that rejuvenates guests throughout their stay.

championship TPC Sawgrass golf course and giving guests exclusive
access. To round out the resort as a leading golf destination, Sawgrass
Marriott Golf Resort & Spa added the TPC Connection Cart Path, the first-ever connection from the resort directly to the home of THE PLAYERS championship and Web.com Tournament by golf cart. The resort is also home to two dozen pieces of golf memorabilia from The World Golf Hall of Fame.

past eight months have taken our guest experience to a new level while
further securing our position as a market leader and the resort as the
ultimate golf experience on the northeast coast of Florida," said Tom
Manno, General Manager of Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa.
"The
revamped Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa is more desirable than
ever, offering all the amenities of a newly renovated world-class
resort, including top-notch meeting facilities and convenient access to
five championship golf courses," said Andrew Rosuck, Regional Vice
President of Sales & Marketing. "We're looking forward to drawing
even more business and leisure travelers who appreciate the resort's
endless possibilities and timeless appeal."
