PGA National Resort – The Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens is a resort 18-hole course originally designed by Karl Litten in 1981 and renovated by Jack Nicklaus, famous for the Honda Classic and its ‘Bear Trap’ stretch. The par-72 layout spans 7,100 yards with a slope of 147, featuring water hazards, strategic bunkers, and fast greens. The resort includes a pro shop, practice facilities, and luxury accommodations.
The course plays as a punishing resort test, with the Bear Trap (15-17) challenging even pros with water and sand. The par-3 17th island green demands accuracy, while the par-5s offer scoring chances with risk. Golfers must manage their game around the hazards and wind, making it a thrilling championship experience.
