Dye course is some of the best
you will see anywhere.
The other courses at the
PGA Golf Club are, the
Wanamaker, The Ryder, and
the St. Lucie Trail. All are
always well maintained in
top-notch condition.
One other feature at the PGA
Golf Club is the 36-acre
practice facility. National
golf teams, top amateurs and
professionals from around the
world, come to Port St. Lucie
to use the facility. A driving
range, short-game area,
putting area, several practice
bunkers, with various types
of sand, and a par-3 course,
are all available for use and
can be accessed for as little as
$25/day.
Port St. Lucie is also the home
of the NY Mets for Spring
training. Play golf, get some
sun and watch a baseball
game. PGA Golf Club at Port
St. Lucie is a home run.
A little farther south the
Palm Beaches area has a golf
course in every block, plus
a stop at historic Seminole
will leave you thoroughly
impressed. Ben Hogan spent
time every March preparing
for the Masters, by practicing
on Seminole’s challenging
greens. It is a magical place.
s
a full-scale resort with four
great golf courses, a spa,
excellent dining and various
accommodations from hotel
to condominiums. The PGA
of America also has its offices
just outside the gates of PGA
National.
The Champions Course is
always one of themost difficult
stops on the PGA Tour. It is
the home of the ‘Bear Trap,’
holes number 15-16-17 and
the Honda Classic. If you
decide to play this beast, be
sure to take extra golf balls, I
guarantee you will lose a few.
Driving west across “Alligator
Alley,” you will arrive at one
of my favorite spots in Florida,
Naples.
