The Bear Trap is a Experience, but if the winds are blowing go to Bar 91 and drink away your Scores. Fun place with everything a golfer could Ask
Played the Fazio course. It was a muddy unplayable mess with no forewarning from the golf staff. It would have been nice to choose not to play. Poor customer service, no help with bags and waited 45 minutes for nachos with cheese from a can.
Customer service is great. Although, everything is closed. Weather is poor. And room was dirty on the ottoman. Room was said to have a view, but cant see anything because its pretty much covered by trees. My view from home is better and so are accommodations at my condo. They tried to accommodate, but its just not what was expected, but the customer service from Clarice and Cherish was good.
Beautiful course with plenty of challenging holes.
Great location for business meetings. Food and service is wonderful.
Just arrived for a 4 day stay.Lobby and rooms are impressive.
The grounds were impeccable for the Honda Classic. The parking was easy. The lobby and bar were elegant and modern. The food, champagne and beer didnt stop flowing. A great venue, will definitely be going back
Great staff. Courses are well maintained and fun to play.
The hotel fees make up for over 60% of the total cost of the stay. Gotta love those extra fees. The room was nice, but kind of expensive when everything is closed down at 6pm.
Very good customer service. Fazio course was in remarkable condition given that it had rained heavily the day before. Great greens.
Weve been visiting here for the last 4 years during the summer and we love it here. We also love West Palm. Well be back next year for food, beaches, golf and shopping next year.
Golf had accidentally charged me for the championship course during a hurricane when I played the Fazio. No golf shop employees are available for the next 2 days and Bill Horn was about as nice as could be for the situation at hand. He handled it professional as could be with much respect. A++++ for staff and con-sear desk management.
Bill Horn is a great man, he was very accommodating. This will always be one of our favorite places thanks to him.
Grounds crew sprayed me twice in the face with pesticides/insecticides on the first tee of the champions course. Starter didnt care. Grounds supervisor didnt acknowledge me. Some birthday present. Ill spend my money elsewhere. Terrible customer service if you arent a member.
Always a great time at PGA NationalHonda Classic 5k 2020
Overwhelmed to start with pulling up front to staff waiting on the next newbie... immediately they can tell and repeat there introduction twice...LOL. Beauty around every corner...cant wait to attack courses. Pool side bar was super nice with a breeze. Chicken sandwich and fruit hit the spot. My room view at night is so colorful!
Course is in good shape although had to stop playing as it rained pretty hard twice & the course was already wet from rain . . . Will have to go back
Our first night 7/18/20 our room was great.we experienced a little of the location due to covid there were limitations expect golf courses.full of fun!!!!Last night 7/22/20 front desk personnel wasn’t so helpful. I’m guessing either his tired or his just old and grouchy.Pro shop has nothing much to offer,an ordinary clothings but of course due to its name PGA where pro golfers play prices means business and to ride along will cost you 75$ not sure if that’s due to COVID-19 or it’s always been the day.Your not missing a thing,I’d say JW Marriott on John young parkway in Orlando attaches to the Ritz Carlton is best yet.
First time at the Honda Classic. Really enjoyed the experience of seeing the pro golfers up close. Had a chance to see Vijay Singh, Lucas Glover and Rickie Fowler play.
My family and I love it here. Most come to play golf, as we do. Courses are well maintained, starters and staff couldnt be friendlier. And they get it. They make the golf experience a great one.
Nice grounds, a college event was being held whole we were there, so practise facility was busy/limited. Beautiful resort and friendly staff
We had a really bad time on our visit to this resort. The grounds and the facility are immaculate and beautiful, but the staff is the worst I’ve ever seen in any type of hospitality. Very cold, bitter, and rude. They would get upset and angry towards my wife and I if we asked any questions about directions or recommendations. It’s sad such a beautiful resort is hindered by such an ugly staff.
Honda Classic pretty cool event
All in all this is a great place to play and stay. If you get a chance absolutely play the championship course. Front9 is relatively tame, the fun starts on the back. Very nice amenities including a spa, or have a nice lunch by the pool.
Great staff on and off the course. Had a great day for a great cause.
The staff has always been excellent, which leads me to suspect that their instruction and fitting services are also good. Driving range is better than most. However, the courses and amenities are below expectations for the area, especially considering the premium you are paying for the honor of playing a tour event course. The Champions course generally seems to be in acceptable shape. But each time I have played their other courses, there have been multiple greens in rough shape. There appears to be more drainage issues than I typically see around here, but the fairways and tee boxes are otherwise fine. Score cards and hole markers do not include aerial maps of the holes. Functional in-cart GPS is also hit and miss. So grab/buy? a yardage book in the proshop or find an app with the layout as there are many blind hazards and unique layouts. No drink cart to be found during my last round and sometimes you will only get one shot at the cart, so when you can get drinks, load up and expect to pay slightly less than double what you would pay elsewhere. Bottom line, if you must, play Champions for the experience, maybe another to get you to question why you did, but know there are likely better golf experiences out there for much less.
Fun time with friends celebrating Mothers Day with bottomless Mimosas, carving stations & crab legs!
Nice for Play Golf. Have 4 Court.
Spectacular Golf Course and Golf Tournament!
If you love golf and you are in town, this is the place to be.
Heres something they dont tell you about phone coverage and internet coverage. Either they jam the signal to prevent phone use for golfers or its the worst coverage. You cant make calls and guess what you have at the Uber stand??? Tons of people who cant access data or wifi. It took an hour to arrange a ride home. This is unacceptable and should be explained to guests.
I rarely ever write bad reviews, but our stay here was a complete disaster and I feel compelled to do so.We spent our New Years here, expecting to have a very memorable experience, and instead it was just outright terrible.To begin with, the front desk staff were extremely rude and unfriendly, as they did not even welcome us! They just stood there as we stood there, not saying anything, and then they gave us attitude when we had questions about the resort. My fiancé asked if they had fireworks for New Years (which they previously said they did) and the response was “no, we have new management.” When we tried to get our car from valet which they pulled, no one was there for at least ten minutes, but our key was just sitting on their desk, we just took the keys from the valet desk and left. Considering it’s NYE they should have scheduled more staff. Also, it was too easy to take our keys and just drive off.The spa treatment my fiancé had was supposed to be an hour and a half, and they only gave her an hour, plus she said the they messed up her service from what she had ordered to begin with!So I figured at least the golf course would be great since it’s the renowned PGA National resort, but after playing the Fazio course, all I can say is wow...torn up fairways and greens, and the course felt like a cow pasture. The cart girl was non-existent, and they play was slow as molasses. As an avid golfer and one who’s been to several golf resorts in the past, this was just a joke, especially for what they charged to play it!We are just in total shock, as this is supposed to be a high end hotel and resort, but it felt like we were staying at a Ramada Inn instead. We will never return here.
Beautiful coarse for the Honda Classic
An outstanding facility.
One of the great golf clubs in North America with superb driving range, manicured putting practice areas, together with a wonderful, caring staff; And four world-class Championship Golf Courses.The Clubhouse features an open daily buffet luncheon and a magnificent Sunday brunch. The Members Bar offers cocktails and seating with service provided inside or outside on the terrace overlooking precious golf grounds. Pro shop is completely stocked with skilled sales staff. Home to the PGA (Both Championships and World Headquarters). Dont be surprised to see any one of the top 100 Professional Golfers in the World next to you in the locker rooms, at the bar in the Clubhouse, or sitting at the next table in the Dinning Room. Five Stars, of course.
Played at the champion course.What a disappointing outing.Everything from tee to green was in terrible shape.Muni courses are maintained better.The tee boxes are in poor condition.The fairways are ok, the greens are challenging but again in need of proper maintenance.The bear trap is a trap alright, a tourist trap.
Beautiful hotel with plenty amenities and friendly staff
Why does this golf course come up as a “public golf course “ on google? I believe it’s private only or maybe open to the public only if you stay at their Resort which is $$$$
Love the staff! We had our wedding there 11/1/19 and Kimberly A. And Arianna B. We’re amazing the food was great the catering was top notch and decor was stunning from Todd at Xquiste we couldn’t ask for anything better!
Pricy but great golf
My husband plays golf all over the US. Overall the facility looks good pulling in. However if you really look at the rooms, the golf courses other than the champ, and the pool area its not that great for the price. It stays busy because of the PGA name and tournament, however its just not worth the $ compared to other premium resorts.
Nice and place. Went here for a meeting. Excellent views and service!!
Private course, must wear collared shirts and golf attire unless at pool or spa. Food and drink is available at the pool. The golf courses are all in top shape and very beautiful. They have many tournaments here and pros / celebrities that play here. The wildlife is also very beautiful.
Beautiful course. Awesome place to visit. Very cool pool area! Driving range is aesthetically pleasing. Must go! Hospitable enough. I was hoping for range balls to have a logo ball to take some as a souviner.. nope :(
Magnificent. So glad I got a chance to play this 18
Get to play The Champion course today. Its in great condition.
Today we were invited to play. but the bathroom of hole 8 was disgusting ..other than.. that that place is beautiful if you like golf you would enjoy it .
Honda Classic Patriots Tent...Great!
Service for privite party awsome . Friendly and pleasant servers
Great brunch, great service, great bloody Marys
We loved it here! Pleasant staff, great poolside food and drinks and the pool is really good too! Our party had a fun evening just hanging at the pool with our kids. Very family friendly environment.
Been here a lot of times for social settings and banquet type of affairs. This has always been a great place for social settings. The food that I have always had here has been amazing.
Very good service and beautiful surroundings, when you have something to celebrate they take care of everything
Receptionist was very helpful!
PGA National is in wonderful condition. A stern but fair test. Play here to enjoy what the PGA Tour players are confronted with.A must play for a golf aficionado.
As one might expect, the the PGA is a beautiful property with plenty of amenities and extras. We were there for three nights because of a family occasion and not golfers. Nonetheless, the property is well maintained and the staff were anxious to please. Very nice. Of course there were little things that needed attention, like the convertible bed had no sheets. But a call to the front desk (even though it was after midnight) was promptly addressed. It is a huge property and must be a major undertaking to keep up. Nonetheless, these magnificent grounds are pristine and lovely. One regret is that we did not play croquet...they have a classical croquet set up which was very old school. Unfortunately, time didnt permit our indulging. We had a small suite which accomodating my wife, two children and myself and the price was quite reasonable. It is not a five-star property, and the main draw must be the golf.
Been coming here since 1982. It is always very enjoyable no matter what you want to do. The beach is only a short drive away.
Only just arrived. Start playing today. So far. Very nice. A couple of issues with the room but sorted now.
Excellent place to visit. Food is excellent place is very clean and very polite people.
Honda Classic is a well done event
The course is in amazing shape.
Wonderful brunch.visit also the gym and was very impress.
Great food and great prices generous portion sizes but excellent quality food in the service was top-notch
Such a fun tournament. Loved the bear trap. Get to 16 of you can!
Went to see Honda classic. Whats not to like
Great staff and impeccable grounds
Great course for #HondaClassic
Elite golf instruction with Steven cox is worth every penny. Kudos!
Went to the Honda classic a lot of walking but they honor veterans and have some of the most famous players.
We love to eat here. It is not cheap, so be prepared. Remembef you only get what you pay for and its great food.
A fine oasis to cater to your tastes in Palm Beach Gardens!
Championship courses. Nice hotel and much to do near by
Excellent!
Food and service are always great here
Flawless from parking, golf shop, staff, course conditions, pace of play, and food and beverage. They do not miss a detail in ensuring a memorable experience.
One of the best courses I have ever played. The facility was outstanding. Great service inside the facility and on the course. Rooms are clean and very nice. Everyone is friendly and helpful I would recommend this to anyone that golfs. 5 stars for sure.
The Champion course was originally dedicated to Jack Nicklaus, and subsequently redesigned by him. This is the most celebrated of the five 18-hole layouts here at PGA National. Its also home to the Honda Classic and the infamous Bear Trap. would like to play it again and again -:)
Great course and resort
Stopped in to take a look and have lunch. Peace was beautiful, lunch was fantastic. Next time, golf.
Horrible. People are uptight, rude, and generally disrespectful. Avoid going here, go to your local Walmart, lot more entertaining, and at least you might see something fun and enteresting, if anything, most Walmart stores have a subway...
Great and very friendly staff, relaxing environment... wonderful experience
Had the opportunity to stay and play at this beautiful resort with my wife. Everyone was super nice and helpful to make this trip a breath of fresh air. Especially the front desk lady, her name is clarrise (like silence of the lambs. lol never forget that) we forgot our room number and jumped at chance to serve us. Thank you PGA NATIONAL
The golf course is pristine and the caddy arlo was awesome. Staff is excellent and the place is ran well
It was the worst meal I have ever had. I ordered the gnocchi with seafood. What I received was a congealed mess. Search as I may I found no gnocchi. They either forgot to put it on the plate or it was so so overcooked it turned to mush. In fairness my husband had the fillet mignon and he said it was good.
Nice hotel and golf course.
Horrible customer service horrendous actually wish I can give 0 stars
Great place to meet with old friends and make new ones.
The best golf experience I have ever had. My party of 16 was treated exceptionally. The staff is accommodating and the resort is beautiful. If you are a golfer, tennis player, or hosting a conference... Look to PGA National. I cannot stress enough how immaculate the facilities are. The pool area and restaurant service is impeccable kept and pristine.If you are at the bar ask for Kristen - she was the best. When you are heading to the front desk look to Maurine to take care of anything you would need.If you are a golfer you have 5 championship golf courses all equipped with a great staff and each course is in great condition. The Championship course, home of The Honda Classic, is an incredible golf course and it was a pleasure to play 18 on.
Excellent!
Played the Champion course. Layout is quite interesting, fairways in very good condition, a number of greens were in terrible condition and no one disclosed that either when making reservations or at the pro shop. Stayed on site in a 2br villa which was fine. Very limited dining options on property.
The new owners will upgrade this 4 star, resort with excellent private club, to 5 stars!!
Its reputation is and has been for years....BEST OF THE BEST!!
Beautiful venue and the lunch was delicious and the staff were very professional.
Great course with fun challenges.
Great service. Big pool.
Course condition was excellent. Played the Fazio course. Place kinda felt like the Disney World of golf clubs, to many courses.
