Storied resort with five courses, including the Champion and its famed 'Bear Trap.'
PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens is one of Florida's most famous golf destinations, home to five championship courses — most notably The Champion, with its notorious 'Bear Trap' stretch that tests the pros at the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic. The other layouts are The Palmer, The Fazio, The Match, and the 9-hole Staple. Play is reserved for resort guests and members; Champion green fees run around $450 in high season plus a forecaddie fee, and a full clubhouse, spa, and dining round out the stay.
A bucket-list round for serious golfers.
