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.

Well manicured course, challenging layout

Fairways well maintained and greens held very nice. Pace was quick until I caught up to a few groups and slowed dramatically, but I was a single so that’s to be expected - 3 wood off the tee (225-250) the entire day is all you need for this short course. Lots of water to contend with so bring your A game. Practice range was also very well maintained and golf shop prices reasonable for PGA shirts and hats. It just isn’t the PGA National that some might think it is, but for $45, you really will have a hard time beating this value.

Fairly typical Florida resort/residential golf

The Fazio is a solid if unspectacular resort option for PGA National guests. Part of the four-course main complex, it proceeds in two loops from the main non-Champion practice facility. Corridors are fairly narrow, meaning you'll often be better off hitting less than driver off the tee.

If you can keep it in play, you should enjoy the medium-sized, medium-contoured greens, which tend to be well-bunkered. Water comes into play several times as well. It won't change your life, but it's a nice enough spot for a round if you're staying at the resort.

Interesting Layout

This course is more interesting than the Champions Course, with doglegs and water in strategic locations. It was in excellent condition considering a heavy rain the night before that resulted in cart path only requirements.

Experience the Honda Classic Golf Course

PGA National is a huge resort with 5 courses. Today we played the Champions Course where the play the Honda Classic..it was a nice Course, but not too visually appealing. The course was in good shape and it was fun to play where the pros play.

Well-maintained course

Course was in perfect condition tee boxes to Fairways to Greens. Was nobody on the course but that may had to do with the Masters. Finish the round in 3 hours

Note Where It Is

It is owned by the PGA National but it is not where the rest of the courses are. GOLF NOW needs to be clear while booking. I went to the PGA National and they said this course was 20 minutes away.

Make sure you play this fun course.

This is the only PGA National course that is occasionally open to the public. So when golfnow is able to get some tee times for the public take one. This is a fun course to play that is in excellent condition with beautiful greens.

Well worth the money!

Extremely well manicured course, does require well placed tee shots- numerous water hazards and carries. Greens rolled fast and true. Course staff went over and above, very friendly, and knowledgeable - A+. Clubhouse should be upgraded to reflect the prestige of this course.

I enjoyed playing there, my only issue was the grounds crew that were doing there job's should know that when a person is teeing off on a hole they should not be weed eating the edge of the bunker up around the green while players are shooting at ALL especially on a Par 3.
