PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, has a remarkable five 18-hole championship golf courses. Designed by Karl Litten and built-in 1984, the Estate Course presents an enjoyable mix of challenging and docile holes and is located five miles west of the main resort. 

The par 72 PGA National Resort and Spa, Estates Course layout is set up for any level of player as it is one of the shorter courses at the resort. Generous fairways often make stray tee shots more manageable, and the large, inviting greens help keep the course fun for the high handicapper while an open feeling created by the property-wide housing setbacks gives a sense of isolation and tranquillity. Where golfers are tested is in the formidable placement of fairway bunkers and water hazards and forced carries too many of the greens over hazards create a test that makes each round enjoyable yet challenging. 

For those looking to master the 6,694-yard Estates layout, the club is home to the PGA National Golf Academy and extensive practice facilities. The double-sided driving range, short-game area, putting greens, and indoor training area provides a comfortable setting to work on your game. 

The resort also includes luxury hotel rooms, nine restaurants and lounges, a 34,000-square-foot conference wing, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a 33,000-square-foot health and racquet club with 19 tennis courts, a golf digest academy, and a member's club.
