SHOULDNT BE A PART OF PGA NATIONAL

THE COURSE LAYOUT WAS GREAT. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY. THE PRICE WAS RIGHT. PGA NATIONAL HAS 5 COURSES IN TOTAL. THIS COURSE IS 8 MILES AWAY FROM THE OTHER 4. THIS COURSE IS USED TO ACCOMIDATE MEMBERS DURING THE BUSY SEASON WHEN ALL 4 OTHER COURSES ARE BOOKED. THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM NEEDS WORK. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND PLAYING HERE IF IT RAINED THE DAY BEFORE. FAIRWAYS AND GREENS WERE LIKE WALKING ON A SPONGE. BAY HILL IS A BEAUTIFUL DEVELOPMENT AND THE COURSE IS A BIT CHALLENGING.

Well manicured course, challenging layout

Fairways well maintained and greens held very nice. Pace was quick until I caught up to a few groups and slowed dramatically, but I was a single so that’s to be expected - 3 wood off the tee (225-250) the entire day is all you need for this short course. Lots of water to contend with so bring your A game. Practice range was also very well maintained and golf shop prices reasonable for PGA shirts and hats. It just isn’t the PGA National that some might think it is, but for $45, you really will have a hard time beating this value.

Note Where It Is

It is owned by the PGA National but it is not where the rest of the courses are. GOLF NOW needs to be clear while booking. I went to the PGA National and they said this course was 20 minutes away.

Make sure you play this fun course.

This is the only PGA National course that is occasionally open to the public. So when golfnow is able to get some tee times for the public take one. This is a fun course to play that is in excellent condition with beautiful greens.

Well worth the money!

Extremely well manicured course, does require well placed tee shots- numerous water hazards and carries. Greens rolled fast and true. Course staff went over and above, very friendly, and knowledgeable - A+. Clubhouse should be upgraded to reflect the prestige of this course.

I enjoyed playing there, my only issue was the grounds crew that were doing there job's should know that when a person is teeing off on a hole they should not be weed eating the edge of the bunker up around the green while players are shooting at ALL especially on a Par 3.

Enjoyable round of Golf

We traveled from Sarasota to meet up with some friends in West Palm Beach. The course is well laid out and in very good condition. Some of the fairway hazard contours will take a round or two to know how to avoid best. Greens were in very nice condition but seemed slower than they looked. Sand was a bit heavy and damp for the conditions. It would have been nice to have a 19th hole to unwind after playing. Cart service was good on the course.
We all enjoyed it and I would like a second crack at it.
