About PGA National-The Champion (Palm Beach Gardens, FL)

Originally designed by Tom and George Fazio for major tournament play, The Champion course at PGA National Resort & Spa was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus in 1990 and now hosts the PGA TOUR's Honda Classic each March. Although The Champion has generous landing areas and large TifEagle greens, golfers are presented with course management challenges throughout the round. However, the course has five sets of tees to make it enjoyable for all golfers. The layout is best known for "The Bear Trap," which spans three demanding holes designed by Jack Nicklaus. USA Today calls The Bear Trap "one of the toughest stretches in golf."
