The most renowned of all the courses at PGA National, The Champion is the site of the PGA Seniors' Championship from 1982-2000, and a "must play" for every visitor to the resort. It has 3 of the 10 hardest holes on the senior tour.
The last of the four courses built in the PGA National development, The General is named in honor of the only professional golfer ever to enlist an "army" of supporters, Arnold Palmer.
The Estate was originally opened in 1984 as Stonewall Golf Club. Designed by Karl Litten, this is the only course that features its own practice range, bunker and putting green for players to sharpen their skills. The Estate course was purchased by PGA National in 1988.
The first course opened for play at PGA National, The Haig was named in honor of Watler Hagen, who became an international legend through his many on-course exploits, including five PGA Championships.
Named in honor of the immortal Gene Sarazen (the first golfer ever to win the professional "Grand Slam"), The Squire is a perfect example of target golf since -at only 6,478 yards from the back tees - the course demands accuracy above all else.
