The amenities of PGA National are second-to-none, and include five championship 18-hole golf courses, a 32,500 square-foot health and racquet club, five-lane lap pool, and full-service spa. Many individual communities within PGA National also have their own pools and parks.

The golf courses are, as you would expect, the main attraction here. Four are located within the main grounds and one is found 5 miles west of the club. The Champion opened in 1981, and is home to the famous ‘Bear Trap’. This tough three-hole stretch was named for Jack Nicklaus, known as the Golden Bear, who designed the course. The Champion received a $4 million renovation in 2002, and became home to The Honda Classic on the PGA tour in 2007. The Fazio was originally the Haig Course, named after golfing legend Walter Hagen. This was actually the first course open at PGA, in 1980. It was renovated and re-opened as The Fazio in 2012. The Squire is known as ‘The thinking man’s course’, and is named after Gene Sarazen, who was the first golfer to win the professional Grand Slam. The course was designed by George and Tom Fazio, and is the shortest of all the courses at PGA. The Palmer was designed by Arnold Palmer, and was the last of the original courses built at PGA. This is known as the most forgiving course out of the five. Designed by Karl Litten, The Estates opened in 1984 as Stonewall Golf Club, and has belonged to PGA National since 1988.
