PGA NATIONAL RESORT
🇺🇸 Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA
Designed by Tom Fazio II

The Fazio Course at PGA National, carved from the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, stands as a testament to a traditional, strategic approach to golf, a counterpoint to some of its more bombastic neighbors. Designed by Tom Fazio, it presents a distinctly playable layout, a respite and challenge for golfers of all levels.
The Fazio, built in the late 1980s, is a parkland-style course characterized by rolling fairways and strategically placed bunkers. It isn’t overly long, but demands thoughtful club selection and careful navigation. Subtle doglegs and risk-reward opportunities abound, favoring players who can shape the ball and manage their game. The landscape is framed by native Florida flora and water features, enhancing the visual appeal without overwhelming the strategic challenge.
While not a venue for major professional championships, The Fazio has held numerous regional and amateur events, consistently providing a fair test of golf in the South Florida landscape. It remains a core course at the PGA National Resort, beloved by resort guests and members alike for its accessibility and classic design.
The Fazio offers a refreshing, old-school approach to golf. It emphasizes strategy, shot-making, and the sheer enjoyment of the game, a place where a well-played round is always within reach, and camaraderie flourishes on and off the course.
