PGA National Resort

Frequently Asked Questions

Which course at PGA National Resort should I prioritize playing, and why?

You absolutely must play The Champion course, home of The Honda Classic. It's a true test of golf, especially when the wind picks up, and offers that professional tournament feel you won't find on their other tracks. While the Palmer and Fazio courses are solid, The Champion is the reason you come here.

What's the best time of year to visit PGA National for a golf trip?

We highly recommend visiting between November and April for the best weather - think warm, sunny days perfect for golf. Be aware that March, during The Honda Classic, will be extremely busy and expensive, so plan accordingly if you're not attending the tournament. Off-season in summer brings heat and humidity, but also lower rates.

How challenging is The Bear Trap on The Champion course, and what's your best advice for playing it?

The Bear Trap (holes 15, 16, and 17) is as tough as its reputation suggests, demanding precision and nerve, especially 15 and 17 with water everywhere. Our advice is to commit to your club selection, aim for the center of the greens, and don't try to be a hero - a bogey here is often a good score.

Is playing at PGA National Resort worth the premium price tag?

If you're looking for a top-tier resort golf experience with a championship pedigree, then yes, it's absolutely worth it. You're paying for immaculate conditions, a challenging layout, and the chance to walk in the footsteps of golf legends. Expect resort prices for everything from greens fees to dining, but the quality matches the cost.

What's the experience like at PGA National Resort beyond the golf courses?

The resort itself is fantastic, offering a luxurious and comfortable stay perfect for unwinding after a tough round. You'll find excellent dining options, a world-class spa, and multiple pools, making it a great destination even for non-golfers in your group. It's a full-service experience where everything is taken care of.
