Wanamaker at PGA Village Golf Club

The Wanamaker Course at PGA Village Golf Club in Port St. Lucie serves as one of three championship layouts at this facility owned and 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 various professional development programs and qualifying events throughout the year.

Fazio's design works with the relatively flat South Florida terrain, incorporating substantial earthmoving to create elevation changes and strategic interest. The routing features generous fairway corridors bordered by native waste areas and lakes, typical of the region's golf landscape. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the bunkering follows Fazio's characteristic style with sculpted edges and white sand. The course stretches over 7,000 yards from the back tees, providing a test suitable for professional instruction and competitive play.

The Wanamaker name honors Rodman Wanamaker, the department store magnate who helped establish the PGA of America in 1916 and donated the trophy for the PGA Championship. The course reflects its institutional role within the PGA's operations, offering a venue where teaching professionals and club managers come for certification programs. The broader PGA Village complex includes additional courses, extensive practice facilities, and the PGA Historical Center, making it a significant destination for those involved in the professional side of the game.
