My wife and I will be visiting the area next month and have a couple of questions;

Sawgrass TPC golf course- The TPC course appears to be open to the public but is very expensive. I'd like to play it as a once in a lifetime thing. Is there any means for getting a discounted rate, coupons, etc?

My wife would also like to play some golf but is not at a level to play TPC. Can someone recommend another area course that is fun to play and economical?

Also, is there a local pub or bar (dives OK) that is not tourist oriented?
