Designed by Tom Fazio, the Squire
is the shortest and the most exacting of the courses at PGA National Resort & Spa. Tom Fazio referred to the Squire as "the thinking man's course". The golfer is required to test his or her accuracy with fairway woods and long irons from many tees - and the smaller greens demand precise iron shots.

Designed by Karl Litten, the Estate
Course has an enjoyable mix of challenging and docile holes. The second-shortest course at PGA National Resort & Spa will test golfers with its formidable placement of fairway bunkers and water hazards. Generous fairways will often make stray tee shots more manageable - and the large, inviting greens help keep the course fun for the high handicapper.

Designed by Arnold Palmer, and completely upgraded in 2008, the General
Course is the most forgiving for the "grip it and rip it" style of play. The open fairways and larger greens are quite accommodating, and the golfer is not overly penalized for missing the fairway or primary rough.

Designed by Tom Fazio, the Haig Course was the first to open for play at PGA National Resort & Spa. Fazio's goal in designing the Haig was to create an outstanding quality
course that would be playable for all types of golfers. The major design factor relates to the location of water hazards. There are no crossing water hazards -- which means the
golfer always has the option of playing around a water hazard rather than over it.
