Here's what nobody tells you about THE PLAYERS Championship until you're already in it: State Road A1A southbound through Ponte Vedra Beach becomes one of the most congested stretches of road in the entire Jacksonville metro — and the backup doesn't start at gate time. It starts around 7 in the morning, when tens of thousands of spectators funnel out of Jacksonville via J. Turner Butler Boulevard (SR-202) and pour onto A1A toward 110 Championship Way. By midday, returns to downtown Jacksonville can push past 90 minutes.

And the parking? General passes for Thursday through Sunday sell out weeks before tournament week, with no day-of sales at the gate — not even a backup lot.

A Jacksonville charter bus or party bus rental to TPC Sawgrass clears all of that out of the way. Your group boards at one pickup point, arrives together at the Couples Entry, and gets back on the bus when the day's play is done — while everyone who drove is still somewhere on northbound A1A. The same logic holds for non-tournament visits: a golf group booking a Stadium Course round at up to $775 per player doesn't need to coordinate a rental-car caravan through Ponte Vedra Beach residential roads on top of everything else the day involves. myjacksonvillepartybus.com makes it easy to find the right bus through a large network of bus companies serving Jacksonville — check pricing online in under 30 seconds, or call 561-202-9893 any time.

 

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to TPC Sawgrass?

TPC Sawgrass is not a downtown arena with a parking structure next door. It's a private golf club on a two-lane coastal road roughly 25 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville, and the road network around it was built for a quiet beach community — not 30,000 spectators arriving and departing in overlapping waves. During THE PLAYERS Championship, the A1A corridor becomes the single worst bottleneck in Northeast Florida for four consecutive days.

The inbound surge runs from about 7 AM through 10:30 AM; the official tournament guidance flags A1A southbound as particularly heavy from 11 AM to 2 PM on tournament days; and the outbound push from 5 PM to 8:30 PM is where groups who drove discover their 35-minute trip home actually takes an hour and a half.

For spectator groups, the bus eliminates every moving part of that problem. One pickup from your downtown Jacksonville hotel or Airbnb, one group arrival at the designated drop zone, and a bus that's ready when your group decides to leave — not when the rideshare app decides to surge. For golf groups visiting outside tournament week, the case is more personal than logistical: groups booking the Stadium Course or Dye's Valley Course are doing something special, and a minibus or Sprinter handles the whole run cleanly — pickup at the hotel, drop-off at the clubhouse guard gate, and back whenever the round is finished.

The Jacksonville sporting event transportation page covers bus options for other major venues across the metro if your trip includes more than one stop.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at TPC Sawgrass: Tournament Week vs. Regular Play

The access logistics at TPC Sawgrass change completely depending on whether THE PLAYERS Championship is in session — and getting the two scenarios mixed up is one of the most common planning mistakes first-timers make.

On a regular, non-tournament day, access is exactly what you'd expect from a private golf club. Your bus takes TPC Boulevard past the Sawgrass Marriott, stops at the guard gate on Championship Way for a daily pass, proceeds about a fifth of a mile, and drops your group at the clubhouse. Bus parking is available in the adjacent lot while the group plays or tours the grounds.

Nothing complicated — the same gated entrance the club uses every day.

During THE PLAYERS Championship — held at TPC Sawgrass each March, with the 2026 tournament running March 12–15 — the property operates under full tournament conditions and the everyday entrance is no longer your access point. General spectator traffic moves through the tournament's own transportation system. Per THE PLAYERS official parking and transportation page, designated drop-off for rideshare and non-credentialed private vehicles is the Couples Entry off ATP Boulevard, near the 15th hole.

That's where a privately chartered bus would deposit your group as well — a separate spectator entry point from the club's everyday Championship Way gate, with a short walk into the tournament grounds from there.

The official downtown hotel shuttle buses (from the Marriott, Hyatt, and Southbank — detailed in the next section) operate through pre-arranged tournament access and drop at the main tournament entrance, which is a distinct zone from the Couples Entry rideshare point. A private charter bus your group hires independently would use the Couples Entry. That's not a disadvantage — it's just the correct plan for a group arriving on a privately chartered vehicle during tournament week.

Tournament week and regular play are two entirely different access situations at TPC Sawgrass. On a normal golf day, your bus enters via TPC Boulevard, stops at the guard gate on Championship Way, and drops at the clubhouse. During THE PLAYERS, the drop-off for a group on a privately chartered bus is the Couples Entry off ATP Boulevard — a separate spectator zone near the 15th hole.

Plan each scenario on its own terms.

The Official Shuttle System at THE PLAYERS Championship

THE PLAYERS runs its own layered transportation setup, and understanding each option helps you decide whether one of the official programs fits your group or whether a private charter bus makes more sense. There are three published options on the official parking page:

Downtown Jacksonville Hotel Shuttles. Climate-controlled buses depart from three hotels Thursday through Sunday of tournament week: the Marriott Jacksonville Downtown Hotel (from Water Street, at the crosswalk to the Performing Arts Center), the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, and the Southbank Hotel at Jacksonville Riverwalk. Published departure times for the Marriott are 7:15 AM, 10:15 AM, and 1:30 PM; for the Southbank, 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM, and 1:30 PM.

Passes cost $20 per person plus applicable taxes, are non-refundable, and require selecting your outbound departure at purchase. Return shuttles run a continuous loop from TPC Sawgrass back to all three hotels from 2 PM through 8 PM Thursday through Saturday and 2 PM through 6:30 PM Sunday. You can take any return loop — no fixed return time once you're there.

Nocatee Free Shuttles (Friday–Sunday). For spectators near Nocatee, Ponte Vedra Beach, and Palm Valley, the tournament offers complimentary shuttle service from three school parking lots to the Nicklaus entrance at TPC Sawgrass. The lots are Palm Valley Academy (700 Bobcat Lane, Ponte Vedra Beach) operating Friday through Sunday, Valley Ridge Academy (105 Greenleaf Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach) on Friday and Saturday, and Pine Island Academy (805 Pine Island Rd, St. Augustine) on Saturday and Sunday.

Shuttles run 9 AM to 7 PM, are first-come, first-served, and the official page notes that wait times can be long at peak hours. If your group is staying in downtown Jacksonville and the prospect of driving 20+ miles to a school parking lot in Palm Valley to catch a free bus doesn't appeal — that's a reasonable position.

Rideshare. Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services drop off and pick up at the Couples Entry off ATP Boulevard, near the 15th hole. The drop zone itself is conveniently positioned, but rideshare pricing surges reliably on tournament days — particularly in the post-play window when 30,000 people are trying to leave at once.

Moving a group of 15 or 20 people from Jacksonville in multiple rideshare cars, all with different ETAs and departure windows, is a coordination job on top of an already logistically dense tournament day.

Where a private charter bus fits in: one flat departure from wherever your group is staying, everyone arrives at the Couples Entry together, and pickup after play happens on your group's timeline — not the hotel shuttle's 2 PM earliest return or the rideshare surge window. For corporate hospitality groups, out-of-town guests, or anyone with people spread across two or three different hotels, that flexibility is the whole point.

THE PLAYERS Championship Traffic on A1A and JTB: The Honest Picture

J. Turner Butler Boulevard (SR-202) is the primary approach from Jacksonville, feeding east toward the coast before connecting south to SR-A1A through Ponte Vedra Beach. The full routing from downtown Jacksonville goes I-95 South to I-295 South, east on Exit 202/JTB, and then south on A1A to TPC Boulevard. Off-peak, door-to-door from downtown to the clubhouse runs about 35–40 minutes.

During THE PLAYERS, the same trip can run 60–90 minutes or longer depending on the window.

The inbound window from 7 AM to 10:30 AM is the worst of the morning, when spectators, corporate hospitality groups, and credentialed staff converge simultaneously on Ponte Vedra Beach. The tournament's own published guidance flags A1A southbound as busiest between 11 AM and 2 PM on tournament days — so neither the early rush nor the midday wave is a soft period. If your group needs the first tee shots, plan for a pre-7 AM departure or build in a substantial buffer.

If a midday arrival is acceptable, the late-morning window (10:30 AM to 11 AM) is about as manageable as tournament days get on this road.

The post-play exit is where the day's full road situation becomes apparent. The outbound surge from 5 PM to 8:30 PM can stretch return trips to downtown Jacksonville past 90 minutes. Northbound A1A toward JTB backs up for several miles; Solano Road offers some relief if A1A is fully seized, but Ponte Vedra Beach simply doesn't have an alternate arterial capable of absorbing tournament-day volume.

If staying inland, the CR-210/Nocatee Parkway route provides a useful alternative to A1A — particularly for groups using the Nocatee shuttle lots. On a bus, that 90-minute crawl becomes the debrief of the day's highlights. In your own car, it's just traffic.

Downtown Jacksonville to TPC Sawgrass via I-295 South and JTB (SR-202) East to A1A South — roughly 25 miles, 35–40 minutes off-peak, and 60–90+ minutes during THE PLAYERS Championship's morning arrival and post-play evening exit windows.

Every Way to Get to THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass

Jacksonville doesn't have commuter rail to Ponte Vedra Beach, and the coastal road network is essentially one corridor for tournament day traffic. Here's how each option actually plays out for a group:

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Drop-off Return flexibility Best group size
Private charter bus or party bus One flat rate, split by the group Yes — single pickup, one arrival Couples Entry off ATP Blvd Full — depart on your schedule, not a fixed loop 15–56
Hotel shuttle ($20/pp) $20 per person plus taxes, non-refundable Only if your group books the same departure Main tournament entrance Low — fixed outbound departures, return loop from 2 PM Any, but no group control over timing
Nocatee free shuttle Free (requires driving to a school lot) Only if you reach the lot together Nicklaus entrance Very low — 9 AM–7 PM only, peak-hour waits Small groups in 1–2 cars
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Per car each way, surge pricing post-play No — multiple cars, staggered ETAs Couples Entry off ATP Blvd Moderate — surge pricing makes post-play costly 1–4 per car
Drive and park ~$45–50/day per car (pre-purchased, often sold out) No — caravan splits up General lot, walk to entrance High — if you can get a pass 1–3 cars before coordination multiplies

For a solo attendee already staying at one of the three downtown shuttle hotels, that $20 round-trip is hard to beat. But once your group is spread across two hotels, flying in from out of town, or large enough that coordinating five separate rideshares feels like a second job — one bus solves every logistical layer in a single arrangement. When parking passes sell out weeks in advance and post-play rideshare pricing makes the return expensive and unpredictable, a flat rate per head on a private group bus often comes out ahead on both cost and simplicity.

Check out the Jacksonville party bus prices page for current rate ranges by vehicle type.

Renting a Bus to TPC Sawgrass for a Golf Group Outing

The non-tournament case for a TPC Sawgrass bus rental is different from the March spectator crowd, and the stakes are arguably higher. The Stadium Course runs up to $775 per player from September through May, with Dye's Valley at up to $350 per player during the same period. Green fees include the cart, a forecaddie, and a warm-up bag of practice balls, per the official TPC Sawgrass FAQ — so an eight-person group is clearing $6,000 in greens fees before anyone orders lunch.

Groups spending that kind of money on a round don't need rental-car logistics, GPS rerouting through Ponte Vedra Beach side streets, or the question of who drives home after the 19th hole.

The routing on a regular day is as clean as it gets. Your bus takes the I-295–JTB corridor, turns south onto A1A, and exits onto TPC Boulevard past the Sawgrass Marriott. At the clubhouse entrance, the guard gate on Championship Way issues a daily pass; proceed about a fifth of a mile and the bag drop is right there.

A 15-35 passenger minibus is the natural fit for this trip — maneuverable enough on Ponte Vedra Beach residential roads, with overhead compartments for gear and easy parking in the clubhouse lot. For non-golfers coming along to experience the clubhouse, restaurant, and the hourly free Storytellers tours of the famous 17th island green (9 AM–4 PM, open to the public without a ticket), the same vehicle covers everyone.

Tee time bookings at TPC Sawgrass are taken up to 14 days in advance without lodging through the club's golf shop, or up to 12 months in advance when bundled with an on-site stay through TPC Vacations. Once your tee time is locked in, the bus logistics snap into place around it — one pickup from wherever the group is staying in Jacksonville, on-time arrival at the bag drop, and a return whenever the round and the post-round wind-down wrap up.

What Size Bus Does Your TPC Sawgrass Group Need?

The right vehicle for a TPC Sawgrass trip depends entirely on group size and what you're attending. A corporate hospitality group of 45 heading to a PLAYERS Championship suite needs something very different from a sixsome booking a Dye's Valley tee time in October. myjacksonvillepartybus.com connects you to a wide range of vehicles through a large network of bus companies serving Jacksonville — here's how the full lineup breaks down for TPC Sawgrass runs.

Vehicle Typical seats Best for Key features
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to ~14 Golf foursomes and sixsomes, small VIP hospitality transfers, executive groups Premium leather seating, USB charging, tinted privacy windows, easy parking at the clubhouse lot
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Golf group outings, mid-size tournament spectator groups, corporate day trips Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, maneuverable on Ponte Vedra Beach roads and TPC Boulevard
Party bus (18–50 passengers) ~18–50 Corporate hospitality and fan groups wanting a social ride to THE PLAYERS LED lighting, premium sound, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Large corporate groups, company-wide PLAYERS hospitality packages, conference outings Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, deep undercarriage bays

For THE PLAYERS Championship, corporate hospitality groups are often the larger end — 30 to 56 people coming from a sponsor pavilion or company block of tickets. A full-size charter bus handles those groups comfortably, with an onboard restroom for the A1A ride home and undercarriage storage for gear and luggage. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — include that note in your quote request at least 48 hours before your departure and the right vehicle can be arranged.

TPC Sawgrass Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices

Quote pricing through myjacksonvillepartybus.com moves with a handful of clear factors: vehicle type, total hours your group needs the bus (including time at the venue and the round-trip run), date, and where the pickup originates. To give you a planning baseline — a 25-passenger party bus for a corporate tournament spectator group picking up at a downtown Jacksonville hotel and running to TPC Sawgrass might fall in the range of $275–$375 per hour on a weekend; a 40-56 passenger charter bus for a large hospitality group on a full-day run might come to $1,350–$2,850 for the day. Those are example ranges to give you a sense of scale — the real number for your specific date, headcount, and itinerary comes from the online form or a quick call.

The per-head math is worth running. A 25-person group sharing one bus versus 25 individuals each booking a round-trip rideshare from Jacksonville — at tournament-day surge pricing both ways — often swings toward the charter bus once the full cost comparison lands. And unlike rideshare, a chartered bus rate is fixed upfront: no post-play surge, no waiting for a car in the Couples Entry queue.

Getting to TPC Sawgrass from Jacksonville: The Route and the Timing

The approach to TPC Sawgrass from Jacksonville follows the same route whether you're headed to THE PLAYERS Championship or a regular tee time. From downtown Jacksonville or the Riverside area: I-95 South to I-295 South, then east on Exit 202 (JTB / J. Turner Butler Boulevard). JTB connects east through the Intracoastal corridor before the approach south to SR-A1A, which leads through Ponte Vedra Beach to TPC Boulevard.

Turn at TPC Boulevard, pass the Sawgrass Marriott, and the guard gate at Championship Way is about a mile ahead. The official TPC Sawgrass directions page has the full routing if you need to confirm any segments before the trip.

From Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), the run is about 30 minutes off-peak via the same I-95–I-295–JTB corridor. Groups flying in for a Stadium Course outing or a PLAYERS Championship trip often get picked up at baggage claim directly, skipping the rental car scramble on a day that's already front-loaded with logistics. The Jacksonville airport shuttle guide covers how bus pickups at JAX work, terminal by terminal.

Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to TPC Sawgrass via I-295 South and JTB East — about 30 miles, roughly 30 minutes off-peak. Groups flying in for THE PLAYERS Championship or a Stadium Course outing can be picked up at baggage claim and run directly to Ponte Vedra Beach, no rental car required.

Approximate drive times from common Jacksonville-area origins (off-peak):

From… Approx. distance Off-peak drive time Tournament-week window
Downtown Jacksonville ~25 miles 35–40 min 60–90+ min during peak inbound/outbound
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) ~30 miles 30–40 min 55–80 min during peak windows
Jacksonville Beach ~15 miles 20–30 min 30–60 min — shares A1A with tournament traffic
St. Augustine ~30 miles 35–45 min 50–70 min

Tournament week timing: the cleanest inbound window is before 7 AM if you want early tee shots, or after 10:30 AM if a midday arrival works. For the return, lingering on-site until after 7 PM lets the worst of the 5–8:30 PM outbound crush clear before you're back on A1A. On a chartered bus, that delay is just the ride — your group sits back while the road sorts itself out.

Tips for Your TPC Sawgrass Visit

A few things that catch first-time PLAYERS visitors off guard, pulled from the tournament's own published guidance at theplayers.com:

  • General parking sells out — and there's no day-of alternative. Tournament-day parking passes (~$45–50 per car, per day, Thursday through Sunday) must be purchased online in advance. No parking is sold at the gate. The tournament has historically sold out of general parking for all four tournament days before the week begins. Tuesday and Wednesday passes are also available online if your group attends practice or pro-am rounds.
  • Gates open at 7:30 AM daily. First-round tee times begin shortly after. If your group wants to see the early morning groups on the Stadium Course — including the famous par-three 17th island green — plan your inbound timing around the pre-7 AM window or accept the midday A1A reality.
  • Clear bag policy is enforced at the gate. Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12×6×12 inches, or one small opaque bag no larger than 6×6×6 inches. A gallon-sized clear plastic bag with homemade food is also permitted. Backpacks and non-clear bags larger than 6×6×6 are turned away.
  • No memorabilia inside the gates. Pin flags, photos, trading cards, golf balls, and other sports paraphernalia cannot be brought into the tournament.
  • The entire venue operates cashless. All transactions are digital and contactless — bring cards or mobile payment. No cash is accepted anywhere on-site.
  • Children 15 and under enter free with a ticketed adult. Family groups attending with kids should factor this into the per-head cost of any transportation arrangement.
  • Empty reusable cups up to 32 oz are welcome. Bring a clean, empty cup for free water refills on-site.
  • For non-tournament visits, free public access is broader than most people expect. The clubhouse, restaurant, and golf shop are open to the public without a tee time. Free Storytellers tours of the grounds and the 17th island green run hourly, 9 AM–4 PM — a genuine one-hour experience even if no one in your group is playing that day.

Frequently Asked Questions: TPC Sawgrass Charter Bus & Party Bus Rentals

Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off during THE PLAYERS Championship?

During THE PLAYERS Championship, privately chartered group buses — and rideshare vehicles — use the Couples Entry off ATP Boulevard as the designated drop-off and pick-up zone. That's a separate spectator access point near the 15th hole, distinct from the club's everyday Championship Way entrance. The tournament's official hotel shuttle buses (Marriott, Hyatt, Southbank) operate through pre-arranged tournament access and arrive at the main tournament entrance — a different zone from where a private group bus would deposit passengers.

The official source for current drop-off information each year is THE PLAYERS parking and transportation page.

Where does a bus drop off on a regular, non-tournament day?

On a regular non-tournament day, access is straightforward. Your bus takes TPC Boulevard past the Sawgrass Marriott, stops at the guard gate on Championship Way for a daily visitor pass, and proceeds to the clubhouse — about a fifth of a mile past the gate. Drop-off is curbside at the bag drop, and the bus can park in the adjacent clubhouse lot while the group plays or tours.

See the official TPC Sawgrass directions page for the complete approach routing.

How much does parking cost at THE PLAYERS Championship?

Tournament-day general parking passes typically run approximately $45–50 per car per day Thursday through Sunday, plus applicable taxes, and must be purchased online in advance — no parking is sold at the gate. Tuesday and Wednesday passes are also available at a lower rate. General parking historically sells out well before tournament week begins.

For the most current pricing, check the official parking page for each year's numbers. A group arriving on one charter bus avoids the per-car parking cost entirely — the bus drops your group at the Couples Entry and there's no pass to purchase.

How far is TPC Sawgrass from downtown Jacksonville?

TPC Sawgrass is approximately 25 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville via I-295 South and JTB (SR-202) East to A1A South. Off-peak, the drive runs about 35–40 minutes. During THE PLAYERS Championship, build in 60–90 minutes during the peak inbound windows (7–10:30 AM, and again around 11 AM–2 PM on A1A) and potentially longer on the return (5–8:30 PM outbound).

What is the best route to TPC Sawgrass from Jacksonville?

The primary route is I-95 South to I-295 South, then east on Exit 202 (JTB / J. Turner Butler Boulevard) toward the coast, followed by A1A South to TPC Boulevard. The official TPC Sawgrass directions page covers the full approach. During tournament week, the CR-210/Nocatee Parkway route is a useful alternative for groups approaching from an inland direction — it feeds the Nocatee shuttle lots directly and avoids the A1A coastal stretch.

If A1A is fully backed up during approach, Solano Road can offer partial relief as an alternate entry corridor.

Can I get a free shuttle to THE PLAYERS Championship?

Yes. The tournament's Nocatee shuttle program runs Friday through Sunday from three school parking lots with free service to the Nicklaus entrance: Palm Valley Academy (700 Bobcat Lane, Ponte Vedra Beach), Valley Ridge Academy (105 Greenleaf Drive, Ponte Vedra Beach), and Pine Island Academy (805 Pine Island Rd, St. Augustine). Shuttles operate 9 AM–7 PM and are first-come, first-served — the official page notes that wait times can be long during peak hours.

For groups based in downtown Jacksonville who want to travel together, driving 20+ miles to a Ponte Vedra Beach school lot to catch a free shuttle is a bigger logistical project than the $20 hotel shuttle or a private group bus.

How much does the downtown Jacksonville hotel shuttle cost for THE PLAYERS?

The official hotel shuttles from the Marriott Jacksonville Downtown Hotel, Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, and Southbank Hotel at Jacksonville Riverwalk cost $20 per person per day plus applicable taxes, and passes are non-refundable. Outbound departures vary by hotel — the Marriott departs at 7:15 AM, 10:15 AM, and 1:30 PM from Water Street; the Southbank at 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM, and 1:30 PM from in front of the hotel. Return shuttles run a continuous loop from TPC Sawgrass from 2 PM through 8 PM Thursday–Saturday and 2 PM through 6:30 PM Sunday — no assigned return time required.

Verify current schedules and availability through THE PLAYERS official transportation page before tournament week.

Can we book a tee time at TPC Sawgrass for a group golf outing?

Yes. TPC Sawgrass takes tee time reservations up to 14 days in advance for guests without lodging, booked through the club's golf shop. Groups booking an on-site stay can reserve up to 12 months ahead through TPC Vacations.

The Stadium Course green fee includes the cart, a forecaddie, and a warm-up bag of practice balls. Details on booking, walking options, and caddie upgrades are on the official TPC Sawgrass FAQ.

How early should we arrive at TPC Sawgrass during THE PLAYERS Championship?

Gates open at 7:30 AM daily, and the cleanest inbound window is before 7 AM if your group wants the first groups of the day. The official tournament guidance identifies A1A southbound as busiest between 11 AM and 2 PM on tournament days, with inbound congestion starting as early as 7 AM. If your group is fine with a midday arrival, the roughly 10:30–11 AM window is about as light as tournament days get on this road.

For the return, plan for the post-play surge between 5 and 8:30 PM and build that wait into your departure timing.

What is the bag policy at THE PLAYERS Championship?

Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12×6×12 inches, or one small opaque bag no larger than 6×6×6 inches, plus a gallon-sized clear plastic bag with homemade food. Backpacks and non-clear bags larger than 6×6×6 are not allowed inside. No memorabilia — including pin flags, photos, trading cards, golf balls, or other sports paraphernalia — may be brought into the tournament grounds.

How far in advance should we book a charter bus for THE PLAYERS Championship?

As early as your date is confirmed. THE PLAYERS Championship week draws significant group transportation demand across the Jacksonville metro, and the vehicles and configurations that fit large corporate hospitality and fan groups get claimed first. For a regular golf outing or non-tournament Stadium Course visit, two to four weeks of lead time is generally workable — but earlier always gives you more options.
