PGA National Resort - Champion Course
Played On 09/08/2019NOT WORTH IT
I have been a member at PGA National for about 4 years and i have witnessed the quality of the courses dropping. New ownership took over the course and the club told everyone things were going to get better. Unfortunately, this is not true. The courses have all deteriorated and lately, its embarrassing. There are literally brown spots everywhere, and no one is spending time fixing the details (and this is not because it is the summer bc other public courses dont have the same problem, maybe try turning on the sprinklers and using some fertilizer) Eventually, the details become overwhelming. I have attached pictures of the condition of the Champion, which is the flagship course. In the past, the service, and hotel rooms were subpar, but now, the courses are being neglected as well. There is trash all over the course, theres brown spots everywhere, and the courses are not maintained like other public courses in the area. The club will charge guest $150-$175 to play the champ, and the greens are full of sand. It definitely doesn't play like a private course, it plays like a municipal course. Dont get me wrong, the layout is awesome, but the whoever is the greenskeeper, they need to address the details. I dont understand why they can't send two guys out during the day and have them fix up the little things that are no consistent with a private club, let alone a PGA tour stop. I heard the PGA tour threatened to take away the tour stop because the greens were in such bad shape for the Honda Classic. The club clearly cares more about making money then the members. Trust me when i tell you they are very good at taking your money, but they won't treat you like its a prime country club. Tons of members are leaving the club because the service is terrible, i am sure even more will leave bc of the conditions of the courses.. The champ range is not open half the time, and the club promised it would be for the members. The attitude of the employees are unacceptable and they act like you are bothering them. Something needs to happen and it needs to happen quickly. Look at the pictures i posted.
