PGA National Resort & Spa Offers South Florida Sunshine and World-Class Amenities

The occasion for the journey is the PGA TOUR Honda Classic being played this week on the mighty Champion Course at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens. The tournament has become wildly popular as many of the best players in the world live nearby (Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to name just two). The players cherish the prospect of sleeping in their own beds while playing a “home game” rather than their usual nomadic lifestyle.

Another huge reason for the success of the Honda Classic is the resort itself. PGA National is well worth a visit. The property now showcases the results of its recent $100 million revitalization as most every inch of the vast property has been transformed. Though often acclaimed, you certainly can't say they've rested on their laurels.

Over the past few years PGA National opened its splendid new Fazio Course; performed a floor-to-ceiling makeover of its 379 guest rooms including themed suites and total redesign of its Presidential, PGA, and Legends suites; built the Lakeside Lawn – a new permanent venue created due to increased popularity of its outdoor wedding settings; and opened “Bar 91” – a total redo of its 19th hole bar and grill complete with an outdoor fire pit.

They aren't done yet. Scheduled for completion later this year are three impressive new additions:

The Spa at PGA National – Already a “Top Rated” Conde Nast Traveler facility, the expansive 40,000 square-foot European-style spa is evolving. Changes will include new treatments, more luxury spa retail items, enhanced gourmet spa cuisine options at the poolside Café, and a beautiful avant-garde design of the entire space. The Spa is renowned for the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation and continues to feature the latest treatments and services. The unique Waters of the World experience offers guests a blend of therapeutic pools from France and Israel reminiscent of ancient Rome.

Health & Racquet Club – Members and guests will be greeted by a luxurious new entry pavilion and covered walkway surrounded by lush vegetation. Inside, the tennis pro shop will be re-imagined with built-in retail displays, lounge seating, hospitality stations, and children-focused areas. Floor-to-ceiling glass in the fitness rooms will provide striking views of the 19 Har-Tru tennis courts. State-of-the-art resistance and cardio equipment is planned as well as an expanded free-weight area.

iDECK – Set off the spacious lobby and sophisticated iBAR, iDECK is a 3,000 sq. ft. terrace ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. It will provide stunning views of the property's serene landscaping, picturesque pool area, and tranquil lake, making it ideal for receptions, alfresco luncheons, cocktail parties, and dining under the stars.

“Our substantial investment in every aspect of the property exemplifies our total commitment to sit at the pinnacle of the world's elite golf, resort, club and meeting destinations,” says Joel Paige, Vice President and Managing Director of PGA National. “Whether seeking a romantic wedding, successful conference, prestigious club amenities, extraordinary golf experience, or a vacation to long remember, we have everything one could ever want.”
