About
Nicknamed “The Champ,” PGA National’s flagship golf course is one of resort golf’s more demanding tests. Originally laid out by Tom Fazio in 1981 ahead of hosting duties for the 1983 Ryder Cup, it has since become a passion-project of sorts for nearby resident Jack Nicklaus, who has made both major and subtle adjustments to the course since the 1990s.
The Champ is a quintessential South Florida course, with water coming into play on all but two holes, with narrow fairways and smallish greens guarded by deep fairway and greenside bunkers as well. If that menu of challenges isn’t enough, the course’s relatively open routing tends to invite fresh breezes, especially through the prime winter season. Good thing PGA National Resort’s accommodations and amenities are luxurious and relaxing; after going 18 holes with The Champ, golfers are grateful for a well-earned break.
