PGA National, Palm Beach Gardens: Homes, Golf, and Membership Guide
PGA National Palm Beach Gardens is a large golf-and-resort community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with a members club that has sat in a residential neighborhood for more than four decades. For buyers comparing $1M+ homes and luxury real estate around Jupiter FL 33458 and Palm Beach Gardens, the useful facts are the ones the club itself publishes: five named golf courses, 79 holes, and membership types that are open to residents and non-residents.
In short: PGA National Palm Beach Gardens is a Palm Beach Gardens golf community whose members club advertises 79 holes of championship golf, five courses (Champion, Palmer, Fazio, Match, and The Staple), and several membership categories. Membership terms and dues are not published as a complete public price list on the pages reviewed for this guide — confirm current terms with the club before you write an offer.
This page stays with what PGA National Resort's membership page and golf page actually say. It does not invent home counts, HOA fees, or listing inventory.

Where it sits
PGA National Palm Beach Gardens is in Palm Beach Gardens, not in the Town of Jupiter. The members club describes itself as located in the center of a bustling residential neighborhood and as the social epicenter of the Palm Beach Gardens community for more than four decades. Kyle Camerlinck works $1M+ homes and luxury real estate from Taiter Realty's office at 1090 Jupiter Park Drive, Suite 101, Jupiter, FL 33458 — close enough that many Jupiter buyers tour PGA National as part of the same northern-county search.
Nearby published club pages on this site include Old Palm Golf Club and Frenchman's Creek. Those are separate clubs with their own membership rules. Do not assume a PGA National golf membership transfers, or that a home inside the PGA National neighborhood automatically includes a golf membership.
Golf: five courses, 79 holes
The membership page states: "With 79 holes of championship golf, the Members Club provides endless opportunities for both spirited competition and relaxed social play." The golf page names five courses:
- The Champion — described as the home course of the PGA TOUR's Cognizant Classic and of "The Bear Trap," which the resort calls one of the most famed — and toughest — three-hole stretches in professional golf. The golf page lists the Cognizant Classic on the Champion Course for February 24–28, 2027.
- The Palmer — named after its designer, Arnold Palmer, and described as generally the most entertaining and forgiving course for all skill levels.
- The Fazio — described as a balance where single-digit golfers are challenged and higher handicaps still have a layout for resort golf.
- The Match — designed with match play in mind.
- The Staple — a par-3 course with holes ranging from 60–130 yards.
The membership page also says PGA National has hosted the Ryder Cup, the PGA Championship, the Senior PGA Championship, and, at present, the PGA TOUR's Cognizant Classic. Those are the club's own event claims. This page does not add third-party rankings.
Racquet and fitness (as published)
The membership page lists sixteen Har-Tru tennis courts (eleven lit for night play), twelve pickleball courts, and one pop tennis court. It also describes a Sports and Racquet Club with an updated fitness center, daily classes, sauna, and jacuzzi. Resort Social membership is described as including the fitness center, Membership Clubhouse, resort pool and amenities, croquet, and dining outlets. This page does not invent square footage, restaurant names, or spa treatment lists that were not on those pages.
Membership types the club lists
Memberships are available for residents and non-residents of the PGA National Resort community. Both families and individuals are welcome. The membership page lists four categories:

How to buy a home here without mixing up the club
A house inside or near PGA National Palm Beach Gardens is real estate. A golf membership is a separate contract with the club. Title work, HOA/condo documents, and the club's membership application are three different piles of paper. For the real-estate side of a Palm Beach County closing, see Jupiter title insurance and closing. For HOA document timing, see what to know about HOAs before you buy.
When you tour, ask in writing:
- Does this parcel include any club membership, or is membership optional and separately purchased?
- Which membership category, if any, is required by the HOA or deed?
- What is the current initiation, dues, and any capital assessment — from the club, not from a listing remark?
- Are there waitlists or transfer fees if the seller's membership is involved?
Until those answers are in writing from the club, do not price a listing as if golf access were included.
