Palm Beach Gardens is known as the Golf Capital of the World, and PGA National Resort is the reason why. This sprawling resort in northern Palm Beach County is home to five championship golf courses, a world-class spa, and a level of service that has made it one of the most sought-after golf destinations in the country.

The Champion Course


The Champion Course is the crown jewel of PGA National. It hosts the Honda Classic every year, bringing the PGA Tour to Palm Beach Gardens and drawing the world's best players to a course that has challenged them for decades. The Bear Trap, holes 15 through 17, is one of the most famous three-hole stretches in professional golf. The combination of water, wind, and tight fairways has broken more than a few tournament leaderboards.

Playing the Champion Course is a bucket-list experience for any serious golfer. The course plays long and demands precision, but the conditions are always immaculate and the experience of walking the same fairways as the Tour pros is something you do not forget.

The Other Courses


Beyond the Champion, PGA National offers four additional courses: the Estates, the Squire, the General, and the Fazio. Each has its own character and challenge level, making the resort a destination where you can play a different course every day of a week-long stay.

The Resort Experience


The resort itself is a full destination. The spa is one of the best in South Florida, the dining options are excellent, and the pool complex gives non-golfers plenty to do. The location in Palm Beach Gardens puts you close to great restaurants, shopping, and the beaches of the Palm Beach area.
