The Match Course, PGA National Resort overview
Par: 72 | Yardage: 5,841 - 6,841 | Designer: Andy Staples (2021) PGA National is known for championship golf, and The Match Course offers a refreshing twist. Designed by Andy Staples and opened in 2021, this is one of the most creative and unconventional layouts in Florida, built to prioritize fun, strategy, and flexibility over traditional stroke play. Whether you're squaring off in a match with buddies or just looking to mix it up, this course brings a new energy to the PGA National lineup.
Unlike the more demanding Champion Course (home to the Cognizant Classic), The Match is wide open, walkable, and made for quick rounds. Large shared fairways, bold contouring, and multiple angles into greens create endless ways to play. There's no rough - just fairway, waste areas, and imagination. Ideal for match play, scrambles, or alternate formats, it’s a perfect option for groups looking to shake up their trip with something memorable and less formal.
