The hotel

There’s nothing quite like playing golf where the greats do: this golfer’s paradise hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic every February, with living legends playing its famous Championship Course. Recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, as part of the hotel’s multi-million dollar renovation, it’s just one of 6 exceptional courses open to guests here. It’s not just the fairways that have been revamped; the PGA National Resort has also given a fabulous makeover to its renowned full-service spa, huge Sports & Racquet Club, guest rooms, and dining venues. The Butchers Club is a must try, serving signature dishes by famous celebrity chef Jeremy Ford.

This resort is beautiful and the staff is super friendly! And the guest relations manager Jared is fantastic! Helped our team on multiple times we needed for the convention. Great food as well! 👏🏼 The bar staff was accommodating to our team for a quick bite and the valet was quick and efficient. Don’t forget to use their shuttle service!

We went to the Butchers Club for the very first time and our server Paul Costa was absolutely excellent and is the reason why we are going to come back. Thank you again!!!! The corn was absolutely to die for and the truffle jalapeño bites were unforgettable.

Our girls trip Birthday Celebration to PGA resort was absolutely perfect. From the very beginning the service from the concierge Marsha and Jared were wonderful. They booked our cabana and were available for all the questions we had up until check in and through check out. At check in, Jared greeted me and welcomed us to the property. This was such a nice touch. I also was able to meet Marsha and she was wonderful. Alex with the cottage reservations was so helpful. I was able to speak with her before our arrival and she coordinated some special surprises for the birthday girl. what a great touch. Burke shuttled us to and from our dinner on property and even stayed extra time to wait to take us back to the cottage when we were running a little late!! What amazing service. The whole staff was more than willing to make our trip extra special. The spa was wonderful. This property has all the amenities you could ever want and it makes it that much more special with the attention to service is second to none. We will be back. THANK YOU Read less
