The hotel

There’s nothing quite like playing golf where the greats do: this golfer’s paradise hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic every February, with living legends playing its famous Championship Course. Recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, as part of the hotel’s multi-million dollar renovation, it’s just one of 6 exceptional courses open to guests here. It’s not just the fairways that have been revamped; the PGA National Resort has also given a fabulous makeover to its renowned full-service spa, huge Sports & Racquet Club, guest rooms, and dining venues. The Butchers Club is a must try, serving signature dishes by famous celebrity chef Jeremy Ford.

PGA National is a great spot to land in the area. The service, the setting, the cleanliness are incomparable. The restaurants are terrific and the neighboring restaurants are also lovely. It's nice to stay in a resort where people are happy working there...it's evident.

Spacious rooms and a nice pool. Though, the pool bar staff and servers do not reflect the rest of the staff at this hotel. The rest of the restaurants on site give great service and food. Don’t forget to visit the beautiful lobby bar. The pool is nice just maybe skip the pool bar.

PGA is a great, quick getaway that makes us feel like we're far away at an exotic resort, when we're actually only 45 minutes from home:) There are times when we want to take a trip but are limited to only a day or two. There is no time for airplane travel, much less a cruise. This exquisite, close resort is ideal!

My wife and I own a home in a country club just a few miles from pga resort that we are currently renovating. We booked a week at pga resort. We wanted to visit the area and check on our home renovations and selected pga resort because of its location to our home and more importantly its 5 star rating with American Express under Fine Hotels and Resorts. I assume this 5 star was based on its golf courses. The hotel itself which we were told was renovated was like an old 1970’s era Las Vegas hotel that was blown up and replaced. The hotel rooms although very large were in serious need of renovations. My wife has serious asthma and the old furniture, carpet, drapes, etc. gave her a serious asthmatic attack which required her to use her nebulizer multiple times all night long. After we checked in and complained about our room we were told they could move us to a newly renovated room if we could just wait two nights. We had considered checking out then and going to the local Marriott but decided to stay since we were told they were moving us to a newly renovated room. We left the hotel in the morning to spend the day offsite and came back to the hotel in the early evening to find out that they moved us to another room just as old and in need of renovation as the first room. Frankly, shocking. Can’t imagine that they have a 5 star rating. Hotel needs a serious upgrade. Read less

This is a wonderful property to host an association conference. The meeting space is ample, the staff is top notch and the property is beautiful! We were onsite for 6 days and catering, concierge, meeting planning services, and AV were all a joy to work with!
