About PGA National
PGA National is the golf hub of Palm Beach Gardens, a resort community built around five courses: The Champion, The Palmer, The Fazio, The Match, and The Staple. The Champion hosts the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and is home to the Bear Trap, holes 15 through 17. It is large and varied, so the homes run from condos and townhomes to country club estates. The resort, spa, and dining make it feel like a destination you happen to live in.

Golfers who want resort amenities and a price point that fits, whatever it is.
How PGA National compares
This is the most flexible community in the area and the least private. Property runs from condos to estates, the golf is largely public-facing, and you are buying into a resort environment rather than a members-only one. For buyers who travel, host, or want a tour-caliber course without an equity buy-in, that flexibility is the point. For buyers who want a gate and a club that feels like theirs, BallenIsles or Frenchman's Creek is the better fit.
