PGA National Resort & Spa

It was not easy to find the place. Our GPS did not recognize the location. It was necessary to program the address and finally, the course is well camouflaged. The people are friendly. Given the cloudy weather, several departures had been canceled. Our departure was advanced half an hour. We played 2 holes before joining a group of 3. Which later turned into a group of 4. Then we joined a group of 4 who slowed all the others, music in the cart and unaware of the delay caused for other players. We met the Marshall at the 15th hole. He replied that he could not do anything anymore. I was surprised at the dress of some players, I thought that with the club's standing, it would be less relaxed, polo out of pants. The course is beautiful and well maintained. But I was expecting more than one PGA, in terms of the quality of its customers. I do not recommend this course, the price sold, this course is too expensive. For a PGA, you have quality regained.

This was my first time playing PGA National - Estate Course. It was a bit challenging to find because Google Maps does not direct your to the course it indicates the course is aprox 1/2 mile away and there is not directional signs to where the clubhouse is located. Even at the entrance to the course, there is very little signage.

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The course has excellent practice facilities and everything you could want as far as practice facilities.

The club house facilities are very sparse. There is no restaurant or snack bar. The pro shop has complimentary coffee and pastries but that is all that is available as far as food ad drinks. Not a big deal, I go for the golf and not the food and beverages. There is a beverage cart that made regular trips around the course so you are able to get snacks and drinks from the beverage cart.

The course was very nice and challenging. The day I played it was raining and windy. The course played very long because the was very little roll of the ball. There are LOTS of forced carries over water to reach the fairways. There is water hazards on virtually every hole.

The greens were in excellent condition and rolled true, and quick.

Take your A Game because you will need it, but it is a great course and lots of fun.

This was my first time playing the Palmer Course at PGA National. It is by far the most challenging course of the PGA National courses I have played (I have not yet played the Championship course)

The course was in beautiful condition and well kept. The Palmer Course is a true test of golf with challenging pin positions. The course plays long. I had many 170 - 190 yard approach shots into greens which are elevated and all run off the sides. Be sure to aim for the center of the greens. The greens have many mounds, undulations, ridges and humps. The greens were smooth, quick and rolled true. The 18th hole is a 600 yard real challenge surrounded by water. The 18th hole presents challenges all over with a tight drive, hazard filled 2nd and 3rd shots and challenging green.

This is a private course so tee times aren't always released but it's well worth grabbing one if you get the chance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The practice facilities were excellent with plenty of practice balls included in the green fee. The on site club house facilities are virtually non existent. The pro shop has complimentary coffee and pastries but that is all that is available. The restrooms are basic with no shower facilities.

The course, however, was very nice. It was relatively quiet when we played and we arrived a little early so the staff put us out before two four balls to ensure we were not held up, which we appreciated. There was a mobile refreshment cart that made regular trips around the course. We would certainly recommend this course and if we returned to Florida we'd try and play it again.

Playing a round at PGA National's Champion Course is a bit like stepping into the ring with a boxer. You need to stay alert at all times, because if you take a temporary vacation, even for a single shot, you can get knocked down in a hurry. Surviving to the end with your wits about you is a victory in itself, and a rewarding one. It toughens you up, because if you can play well here, you can play well anywhere.

Also worth noting, the course's recent greens expansion has made approach shots a little more manageable, though the firmness of those new putting surfaces makes shots from the rough almost impossible to keep on the green. Drive it straight if you can.

This is a great course and nice layout. The fairways are amazing, the greens where not as fast as I thought they would be. I would play this course anytime!

Played the course on a Sunday morning in early October while down from GA visiting family in Palm Beach. The course conditions were fairly nice....decent fairways and greens. The course has a bunch of water but is still relatively wide open with plenty of room to play. It was very breezy (15+ mph) when we played and the ball was getting blown about a bit but I never felt like there was no room to play.

The course is in a housing development but the houses are set way back and the course feels wide open.

I enjoyed the round. The course was fine. Nothing really special about the course but there was enough variety on a few cool holes that kept it interesting. I’d play again.

This was my first time playing the Fazio course at PGA National.

The Fazio Course is a typical resort course. The course was in excellent condition (other than a few bunkers with very little sand in the bottom). The weather was very hot and beautiful and the pace of play was excellent. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great condition.

The course is not overly difficult. The holes are pretty straight forward and you can see where you are going (except a few dog legs where you can not see the green from the tee box). There is water on a a lot of the holes, but it's not overwhelming.

The front nine twists and turns and has more dogleg holes than does the back nine. I really liked the course. The customer service and facilities are great. The only drawback is in order to play any of the PGA National courses you have to be a member or you have to stay at the resort.

First time I’ve seen PGA National on GolfNow so I jumped on it. Great course in great shape. Started with Ian the bag/cart guy who was amazingly friendly and helpful,... and the great day continued on the course. Challenging layout even though it’s very open. I’ll definitely be back!

Course was in great condition and layout was good but not very difficult (white tees).

A little far out from coast but beautiful scenery and wildlife (located next to the Everglades)

Staff was very friendly and pace of play on Father's day was under 4 hours. Would play course again!

Miles away from the resort, very slow and funny greens with impossible slopes, few amneties, not to the standard of the other PGA National courses - basic design but not expensive. We will not go back.

From the moment we pulled in to the bag drop to the time we left the parking lot nothing was short of first class. The entire staff was beyond courteous, we felt as though they went out of their way to make the day excellent, and they succeeded. The course proved fun, exciting, and quite challenging. If ever the opportunity arises we all plan to play here again. Great value for the money. Only wish we had started here rather than finished, would have avoided the other two courses we played in West Palm Beach.

Greens were ok but fairways were so dry and there was no rough, just dirt.

Was looking forward to playing, but won’t do it again this year.

Great course great layout will play anytime I can get on this course with golf now .

Very pleased with the PGA Estates course. Staff and practice facilities were great balanced by a fair price. There was confusion about pricing and payment that needs to be addressed but overall very pleased and will book again.
