About this course

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.

Getting there

The journey to PGA Village Golf Club begins at either Melbourne International Airport (MLB), roughly forty-five minutes to the north, or the more convenient Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), a ninety-minute drive south through Florida's coastal flatlands. Private aviation clients will find Stuart Air Center (SUA) the most expedient option, situated just twenty minutes away and offering the discretion befitting an arrival at one of the game's most comprehensive golf destinations. The final approach carries you west from the Atlantic corridor into Port St. Lucie's carefully manicured landscape, where the transition from strip malls and sprawl gives way to the manicured grounds and championship conditioning that define PGA Village Golf Club - a sanctuary built by the PGA of America itself, where the architecture and instruction converge on hallowed turf.
