Golf Digest rating

a distinctly different
palm beach gardens golf course

Designed by Karl Litten, the Estate Course has an enjoyable mix of challenging and docile holes. This second-shortest course at PGA National Resort & Spa will test golfers with its formidable placement of fairway bunkers and water hazards. Generous fairways at this Palm Beach Gardens golf course will often make stray tee shots more manageable – and the large, inviting greens help keep the course fun for the high handicapper. Long, accurate tee shots are required on several holes, in order to more easily negotiate hazards in front of the greens. The homes along the golf course are set further back, contributing to the overall open feel of the course.

Located 5 miles west of the main facility, the Estate Course is nestled in a small, peaceful community, creating a more relaxing experience. The Florida pines, subtropical foliage, and beautiful lakes that blanket the course at our Palm Beach Gardens golf resort comprises a wildlife haven that can be seen throughout your round.
