Could any
professional golfer be
better qualified to provide a hole-by-hole description of the Champion
Course at PGA National than Raymond Floyd?
The
Miami-based professional played the course in the 1983 Ryder Cup
Matches
and the 1987 PGA Championship. Floyd was victimized by the precarious
Bear
Trap holes in the final round of the 1994 PGA Seniors' Championship.
The Champion
Course completed a $4.1
million dollar renovation in December 2002. The renovated golf course,
done in partnership with Jack Nicklaus famed Nicklaus Design Team,
included
the installation of a state of the art irrigation system, which
provides
a 96 percent efficiency to conserve water, a new cart path system,
bunker
renovations, tree removal and replacement and extensive drainage system
redesign and lastly, new grassing of the entire course. The Champion
practice
range was enlarged with numerous targets added to better serve golfers.
The Champion
course provides players
with the finest playing services available worldwide and the challenge
of a course ranked in the top 5% of the most challenging courses in
Florida
and the top 10% in the United States.

The General was the last of the
four courses built with the PGA National
Development.
Dedicated on February 28, 1984, "The General" is named for its gallery
appealing designer, Mr. Arnold Palmer. Arnold Palmer attacked golf
courses
with an unharnessed fury. His style of golf is legendary.
His
character, his charisma and his
"charges" won him a legion of followers throughout the world. "The
General"
is dedicated to his honor, the leader of an army of golf enthusiasts
and
to his tireless effort to them and to the game of Golf.
The General
Course favors the Scottish
tradition with its links layouts, undulating fairways, numerous grass
bunkers
and the sharing of a common green by Holes No.8 and 12.

The Squire,
opened on October 30, 1981, is named after the immortal Gene Sarazen,
who
has set standards in golf that are looked upon today with the greatest
admiration. Nicknamed the "Squire," he is as much a part of golf
history
as anyone that has played the game. He was a true competitor who became
the first person ever to win the professional "Grand Slam" - the U.S.
Open,
the British Open, the PGA Championship and the Masters. His actions on
and off the course have always been exemplary. He stands today as a
credit
to all who have enjoyed the game.
Tom and
George Fazio, designers of
the course, refer to the "Squire" as "the thinking man's course,"
requiring
the golfer to test his/her accuracy with fairway woods and/or long
irons
off many tees and precise short iron shots into the greens. The links
layout
is the shortest yardage, but plays the narrowest of the PGA National
Golf
Club courses.

The Estate Course
was originally opened in November, 1984, as Stonewall Golf Club. On
August
28, 1988, Mr. Llwyd Ecclestone, Jr. purchased the existing 18 Hole Golf
Course. The Estate Course has its own Practice Range, Practice Bunker
and
Practice Putting Green for players to warm-up and hone their skills.
Distinguishing
The Estate Course
is the serene Florida Landscape. The golfer will find a masterful
mixture
of sand and water, while playing on lush green fairways and greens
which
wind through the open meadows, lined with Florida Pines and subtropical
foliage.

The
Haig was the first course opened for play
at PGA National Resort on March 4,
1980. The course was named in honor of Walter Hagen. Known
affectionately
as "The Haig," he became an international legend through his
accomplishments
in golf, including five PGA of America Championships. Mr. Hagen was
always
telling folks they should "stop and smell the roses," so as a tribute
to
him, rose bushes bloom at the 150 yard markers on the course.
In designing
the
Haig Course, Tom
and George Fazio's goal was to create an outstanding quality course
that
would be playable for all types of golfers. The major design factor
relates
to the location of water hazards. A careful study of the course reveals
there are no crossing water hazards. This means the golfer always has
the
option of playing around rather than through a water hazard,
eliminating
a major obstacle for the high handicap golfer. The 9th and 18th Holes
return
to the Clubhouse area, thus enabling 9 Hole play on the course and No.
1 and No.10 Tee starts as needed.
