PGA National Resort, Champions Course

PGA National Resort is a Resort, 90 hole golf facility located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The facility has five 18-hole golf courses. They are The Champions Course, The Palmer Course, The Squire Course, The Fazio Course, and The Estates Course.

The Champions Course

The course first opened for play in 1981. The Champions Course was designed by Tom & George Fazio. The course was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 1990 and again in 2002. The finishing holes, #15, #16, and #17 are known as the "Bear Trap," because they all require shots over water.

The Champion Course is the most revered of all the courses at PGA National. The Champ was the site of the 1983 Ryder Cup, the 1987 PGA Championship, as well as the permanent home for the PGA Seniors' Championship from 1982-2000 and today features The Honda Classic.
