About this course
The Ryder Course at PGA Village Golf Club in Port St. Lucie serves as one of three championship layouts at this facility operated by the PGA of America. Tom Fazio designed the course, which opened in the mid-1990s as part of the organization's headquarters complex and educational center. The property functions as both a public-access facility and a training ground for PGA professionals, hosting instructional programs and qualifying events throughout the year. Fazio's design works with the flat terrain typical of Florida's Treasure Coast, incorporating substantial earthmoving to create elevation changes and strategic interest. The routing features generous fairway corridors framed by mounding and native vegetation, with water hazards appearing on multiple holes. Bunkers are positioned to challenge approach shots and frame greens in Fazio's characteristic style, emphasizing visual definition and strategic options for players of varying skill levels. The course layout accommodates the teaching and tournament functions of PGA Village, with multiple tee boxes allowing flexibility for different playing abilities. The conditioning standards reflect the facility's role as a showcase for the PGA of America, with particular attention to green surfaces and consistent playing conditions. The Ryder Course shares the property with the Wanamaker and Dye Courses, giving visitors access to varied design philosophies within a single complex that serves both recreational golfers and professionals pursuing certification and continuing education.
