About PGA National Resort & Spa
Golf fans know PGA National particularly for the Champion Course, the extremely challenging host of the PGA Tour's Honda Classic. But PGA National has far more to offer, too: four other, tamer golf courses plus an ever-improving lodging and dining complement, including the excellent Ironwood Steakhouse just off the resort's main lobby.Facts

Clever green contouring can go a long way toward amping up the intrigue of an individual hole. That's the case with the false front at The Palmer's 4th. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

The uneven edging of this bunker at The Palmer's 8th is intentional and gives it a naturalistic look. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

The Palmer's highlight hole was the par-5 18th, and now it's even more attractive. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 12/29/2017

Great course layout
Pace of play was excellent. Course conditions were very good, bunkers were just okay. Fast greens and generous fairways. This course is a great value for the price, would definitely recommend it and will play it again.

Not Worth It
Other courses are more lush and maintained in Florida for half the price. Pace of play is SLOW. No one regulates this. Amenities scarce which is surprising for the cost and the affiliation.

Only wish they had a clubhouse to grab a drink after the round. Everything else was great!

Nice course
Maybe I went in with expectations too high, but I was under-impressed with today's experience at The Estate. This course is not on the PGA resort property, but rather nestled inside a gated community. There was no signage; it was difficult to find the clubhouse. The staff was nice enough, but it lacked the "wow" factor that I was hoping for. No food or drink options except for a gatorade and granola bar.
The practice facility was nice. Free range balls are always appreciated. The bag attendant and starter were very friendly and laid back. I was there at a quieter time of day and was able to play as a single which made the pace of play perfect at 2.5 hours!
Greens were PHENOMENAL! Fairways were really nice. Rough hadn't been manicured in awhile. Lost a couple balls due to it...although maybe a few more fairway hits would've helped....lol.
All in all...nice course...was just hoping for a more amenities to round out the day.
I think it's worth your time to at least play once!
