Golf Courses at PGA National, Florida
The Championship Course
The Champion Course, which was originally created by Tom Fazio and his uncle George, and was later renovated by Jack Nicklaus in 2014, is the foundation of PGA National’s illustrious golfing history.
The Champion added the Ryder Cup to its list of tournament when it hosted the event in 1983. It currently serves as the host of the annual Honda Classic on the PGA Tour. The perilous closing holes, often known as “The Bear Trap,” are some of the most difficult in the World.
The Fazio Course
George and Tom Fazio created the Fazio Course, which was the first to be finished at the PGA National Resort. The strategically placed water hazards on Fazio’s 6,806 yard layout present the biggest hurdle, necessitating a mix of strength and accuracy. The Haig, which was named after the renowned Walter Hagen, a record-breaking winner in golf’s early years, features water in play on 15 holes.
The Palmer Course
Arnold Palmer, whose intense playing style is evident in his design at PGA National, created the Palmer Course. The fairways are generous and the greens big, but because there are so many significant water hazards, aggressive play carries a lot of risk. The par-5 on the 18th hole is a true all-or-nothing challenge, and one of the toughest holes for even the highly skilled golfer.

The Palm Beach Garden community offers unrivalled amenities and high class services. There is plenty to do at PGA National Resort thanks to its six championship golf courses, including the renowned Champion Course, professional golf lessons, and 19 tennis courts.

The laid-back and informal Honeybelle is right next door and a great place to unwind before supper.
