PGA National Resort Palmer course

The Palmer Course was the last of the original four courses to open at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, debuting on February 28, 1984. It was designed by Arnold Palmer with his longtime design partner Ed Seay and originally carried the name The General, a nod to Palmer's stature, before later being renamed in his honor. Palmer returned to oversee updates to the layout in 2006. Playing to a par of 72 at roughly 7,000-plus yards from the tips, the course is generally regarded as one of the resort's more playable championship tracks, rewarding creative shot-making and offering scenic approach shots. Water hazards and a strong closing stretch, capped by a reachable par-5 18th, give the layout its risk-and-reward personality. It complements the resort's famed Champion Course as part of one of Florida's best-known golf destinations.
