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.

Greens are Fast & True!

Great turf conditions. Greens are fast and true. Plays like a resort course from the tee boxes, very generous landing areas. Some water and forced carries on the longer holes. Great value for the conditions. Staff is friendly. Challenging layout when the wind is up! Played in 3.5 hours.

Enjoyed course even through wind and rain

First play since arriving from “up north” so was a bit rusty and the rain and wind made for tough scoring. But the course is pleasing to the eye, challenging with a variety of hole layouts, and beautiful grooming. Course took a lot of rain this day but greens remained playable as did most of the fairways. Look forward to playing it again in more typical FL weather and sunshine.

Nice course

This is a pretty nice course, well maintained! Played as a 2 some and only waited a little on back nine. I wanted to buy a shirt there but small pro shop and basically had little to offer.

Excellent Value

I really lenjoyed this course.

Good driving range with balls provided

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Tricky greens.

The course was challenging enough to keep it interesting and enjoyable.

Pretty setting with lots of water and wildlife.

Too bad there was no place to have some food and a drink after the game.

Windy Day

Played in under 4 hours with my wife and two people we hooked up with. Very windy day , which made it seem like a long day out on the golf course. Very friendly golf staff. Will go back.

Fire Randy

I have been a member at PGA for several years now and recently left because the club has really gone down hill. The head golf professional at PGA National is Randy Raimondi, who takes himself way too seriously. Instead of speaking to members like "members", he talks to you like youre a kid. He cancels tee times without first notifying the member, he doesnt return phone calls, and emails take him over a week to respond. Brookfield Asset Management recently purchased the club and the service coming out of the golf department is terrible. Randy needs to be fired immediately. I know of two other members that left because of the way they were treated from Randy. Im sure Randy doesnt care and he will just sign up new members, but the reputation of the club is spreading quickly. The club culture spreads from the top down and Randy needs to learn how to treat people. I actually think he has a Napoleon complex.

Accessible Private Club

Only way you can play here is to buy a house, or thru GolfNow. Fabulous experience. 5 sets of tees for any skill level. Challenging layout with fast undulating greens. I will definitely book here in the future as long as it’s available.
