The PGA National Resort and Spa
The PGA National Resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, would seem to be all about golf. Well, yes and no. Though golf is the major attraction at the PGA National Resort , this is a full service resort that boats a 40,000-square-foot European spa, a vast Health and Racquet Club, and a top level golf academy. All that, along with its five championship golf courses, make PGA National the perfect destination, not just for golf, but for romantic getaways, weddings, family vacations and unique corporate outings.
PGA National Resort and Spa is also the current home of the Honda Classic, but has also hosted more than a dozen PGA Senior Championships, the 1983 Ryder Cup, and the 1987 PGA Championship, but that's not all there is to PGA National. In addition to its five tournament-level courses, the resort features a long list of amenities and facilities that would be the envy of many a larger complex:

-
Just minutes from high-end shopping, attractions and the beach
-
Only 20 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport
-
Less than 45 minutes from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport
-
