No golf outing is ever quite complete without a visit to the spa, especially if one needs to sooth away the aches and pains brought on by playing 36 holes of golf in a single day. And that’s something that’s more than a possibility at Sawgrass with its two great courses – two opportunities that can’t be missed.

The Spa at Sawgrass is set on 15 acres of winding lagoons, moss-draped water oaks, twisted palms and giant magnolias. Its ultra-modern building is one of deep inset windows, warm wooden accents, cream stone tiles and understated earth-tone décor. As in all spas of the type, the overall ambiance is accented by soothing music, soft lighting and an air of quiet comfort unique to the industry. Beyond the norm, however, is its unique, eastern-inspired setting.

The spa’s amenities include 19 private treatment rooms, including 12 massage rooms, four skincare rooms, two hydrotherapy rooms, one couples massage room and a luxurious spa suite for extended services along with private men's and women's locker rooms, each with its own steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi and relaxation lounge.

An extensive workout studio features an array of cardio equipment, each with a private television and Cybex strength-training equipment. There’s also a “movement studio” for private workouts and supervised classes in Pilates, Yoga, Aerobics and Spinning, and an outdoor heated pool, with Jacuzzi, massage pavilions and landscaped relaxation area.

Finally, for the ladies, there’s a Nail-care studio, featuring five manicure stations and four deluxe pedicure stations.

Packages

There seems to be almost as many packages available at the spa as there are treatments, or you can combine spa services and golf to create your own custom package or allow the staff to guide you. Me? I recommend at least a deep tissue full body massage. It takes about an an hour. Follow that with 10 or 15 minutes in the steam room and you'll feel like an entirely new person. When all is said and done, though, the spa experience is all about fun, rest and relaxation.
