The Champion course, which hosts the PGA Tour’s Cognisant Classic and the notorious Bear Trap, is the most well-known feature of the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Every club in the bag is put to the test in this challenging, strategic arrangement, but playing it is also immensely satisfying. The resort features five championship courses, each with a distinct style and degree of difficulty, ranging from traditional layouts to bold redesigns by Nicklaus and Fazio.

Off the course, guests can unwind after a round at the resort’s luxurious spa, roomy villas, and contemporary accommodations. Dining is also a strong point, offering a variety of notable options from casual nibbles to elegant steak and seafood. This player-friendly resort is well-maintained and offers plenty of activities both on and off the fairways.
