Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is the Fazio course compared to PGA National's famous Champion course?

It's definitely more forgiving than the Champion, but don't mistake that for easy. You'll find wider fairways and less water overall, making it a great option if you want a strategic round without the constant pressure of the Bear Trap. We think it's perfect for a fun, competitive round where you can actually score.

When is the best time of year to play the Fazio course for ideal conditions?

We always recommend visiting between November and April. The Florida weather is fantastic then - warm but not scorching, with lower humidity. You'll find the course in pristine condition, with greens rolling true and fairways perfectly manicured.

What unique design elements or holes make the Fazio course stand out from other resort courses?

The Fazio course really shines with its strategic bunkering and subtle elevation changes, which are rare for South Florida. We particularly love the par-3 15th, where you need to navigate a tricky green protected by bunkers, and the par-5 18th offers a great risk-reward finish. It's a thinking golfer's course.

What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value when playing the Fazio course?

As part of PGA National Resort, green fees for the Fazio course are certainly resort-level, often ranging from $150-$300 depending on the season and time of day. We believe it offers excellent value for a championship-caliber experience, especially if you're looking for a top-tier round that's a bit more playable than the Champion. Consider booking a stay-and-play package for the best rates.

What's the typical pace of play and overall atmosphere like at the Fazio course?

You'll generally find a good pace of play here, especially if you book an early morning tee time. The atmosphere is relaxed but still professional, reflecting the resort's high standards. We recommend arriving early to use the excellent practice facilities and grab a drink at the 19th hole afterwards - it's a great way to cap off your round.
