One of the most famous courses in world golf, the Blue Monster is a true championship test and a long-standing PGA TOUR venue. Length, water hazards, and demanding finishing holes combine to create a bucket-list experience.

Course highlight: The closing par-4 18th, widely regarded as one of Florida’s toughest finishing holes.

Champion Course, PGA National Resort | Palm Beach Gardens Ranked as the 38th best golf course in Florida by Golf Digest in 2025 Architect: Tom Fazio, redesigned by Jack Nicklaus | Par: 72
