About PGA National Resort & Spa

 

PGA National Resort & Spa opened its doors and fairways in 1981. Since then, The Champion Course has hosted more than 19 major PGA tournament events - including the 1982 PGA Championship, the 1983 Ryder Cup, the Seniors Tournament, and, now, the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic.

 

The award-winning Palm Beach, Florida resort showcases four other master-designed golf courses that, like The Champion, are all in their best condition ever - The Haig, The Squire, The Palmer, and The Estate.

 

But golf is just one specialty at this spectacular name in Palm Beach resorts. PGA National also features a multimillion-dollar European spa, multiple pools, seven restaurants and lounges, a 39,000-square-foot conference wing, a croquet complex, and a health and racquet club with a personal training facility.
