The TPC at Prestancia was the
site of the former American Express Invitational from 1996-2000. |
|
 Situated on 565 lush, sylvan acres in Sarasota, Fla., the Tournament Players Club at Prestancia represents the quintessential
golf and residential community created with great care and attention to balance and detail. The present club
is a combination of old and new, created in 1984 when the PGA TOUR took over The Country Club of Sarasota and
added to its existing 18 holes a second 18-hole championship layout designed by Mike Souchak and Ron Garl. The
Stadium Course, the fourth in the TPC network, is a traditional TPC layout that melds signature TPC
characteristics with the designers' personal philosophies. Open areas behind the greens frame the holes and temper
the traditional stadium mounding look. Short holes have more demanding greens and longer ones more gentle. The
fairways are generous. One-third of the holes features water hazards, while bunker use is varied but reserved. Old
stands of trees add to the challenge on the 6,927-yard, par-72 design. While swimming and tennis are also
available in a community conveniently located less than two miles from the ocean, the TPC at Prestancia is devoted
to the pursuit of golf, an experience complemented by a grand, Mediterranean style clubhouse and generous
multi-purpose practice facility.

- Practice facility with target greens.
