PGA National Resort & Spa

Nice course, good value for the quality.

Not too hard.

Great place to play and definitely a bucket list item.

Wouldn’t recommend playing it in September though as the course wasn’t in perfect shape as March during the Honda Classic

What’s a real golf course ? The answer is the champ course, no mercy,no bail out, and tons of risk rewards opportunities!

One of my all time favorite tour stops and the after round pool is amazing!

Champions Course in great shape. Other courses needed work. Greens were very nice!!

Another dog track!!! Wet everywhere, greens a not good, the layout is a putt putt course , just couldn't find the clown except for the staff!!!

This is the worst course the have. Green were so bad you almost couldn't putt. Nothing exciting about this course. Been on many public courses that are much better. Don't waist your $$$

This course of the 4 we played was a great layout and fun to play would recommend this course over champions.

Played practice round in 90 degee whether then when it was time to play 35 mph winds and in your face for the Bear Trap, still shot 83!!! Even through the bear trap.

Great Layout, nice carts and practice facility. Greens are the best of the 5 PGA National courses. Pro shop was a bit old, small and smelly, lol.

I have been a member at PGA National for about 4 years and i have witnessed the quality of the courses dropping. New ownership took over the course and the club told everyone things were going to get better. Unfortunately, this is not true. The courses have all deteriorated and lately, its embarrassing. There are literally brown spots everywhere, and no one is spending time fixing the details (and this is not because it is the summer bc other public courses dont have the same problem, maybe try turning on the sprinklers and using some fertilizer) Eventually, the details become overwhelming. I have attached pictures of the condition of the Champion, which is the flagship course. In the past, the service, and hotel rooms were subpar, but now, the courses are being neglected as well. There is trash all over the course, theres brown spots everywhere, and the courses are not maintained like other public courses in the area. The club will charge guest $150-$175 to play the champ, and the greens are full of sand. It definitely doesn't play like a private course, it plays like a municipal course. Dont get me wrong, the layout is awesome, but the whoever is the greenskeeper, they need to address the details. I dont understand why they can't send two guys out during the day and have them fix up the little things that are no consistent with a private club, let alone a PGA tour stop. I heard the PGA tour threatened to take away the tour stop because the greens were in such bad shape for the Honda Classic. The club clearly cares more about making money then the members. Trust me when i tell you they are very good at taking your money, but they won't treat you like its a prime country club. Tons of members are leaving the club because the service is terrible, i am sure even more will leave bc of the conditions of the courses.. The champ range is not open half the time, and the club promised it would be for the members. The attitude of the employees are unacceptable and they act like you are bothering them. Something needs to happen and it needs to happen quickly. Look at the pictures i posted.

Excellent course that I do not normally get to play, greens fee very affordable this time of year and usually not too crowded with other golfers. Played with two other guys I met on the 1st tee, enjoyable round other than getting caught behind a group playing team "best ball" and after they let us play through getting caught behind husband and wife hitting several tee shots including his golf instruction on every one of her shots. I'm not sure what the ranger was on the course for because he did nothing to help pace of play.

Amazing course professionally maintained greens were incredible definitely playing there again next week!!!!

THE COURSE LAYOUT WAS GREAT. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY. THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. PGA NATIONAL HAS 5 COURSES IN TOTAL. THIS COURSE IS 8 MILES AWAY FROM THE OTHER 4. THIS COURSE IS USED TO ACCOMIDATE MEMBERS DURING THE BUSY SEASON WHEN ALL 4 OTHER COURSES ARE BOOKED. THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM NEEDS WORK. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND PLAYING HERE IF IT RAINED THE DAY BEFORE. FAIRWAYS AND GREENS WERE LIKE WALKING ON A SPONGE. BAY HILL IS A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT AND THE COURSE IS A BIT CHALLENGING.

Sluggishly-paced round on a bucket list course was highlighted by stellar service from the pro shop staff, starter, cart attendant and beverage cart server. Ditto for staff for course snack bar, which offered tasty bar fare. The course? Well....from the blue tees, The Champ is not particularly stimulating visually nor it is especially tough, save No. 16 - the middle hole of the renowned Bear Trap - and No. 18. Back nine is more stout than front due to water hazards and placement of bunkers, several of which were concrete hard. The fairways and greens were brownish in spots with greens running a bit slow. Worth at least one trip around this very popular course, but not a second trek, unless the price is right.
