The Palmer Course at PGA National Resort and Spa is the most forgiving for the "grip it and rip it" style of play. The open fairways and larger greens at this Palm Beach County golf resort course means that the golfer is not overly penalized for missing the fairway or primary rough.

The design is reminiscent of the Scottish links tradition. Undulating fairways, grass bunkers and a double green shared by the 8th and 12th holes recall golf’s old world heritage.

In conjunction with the Arnold Palmer Golf Design Group the popular course underwent significant renovations in 2007. These included a new greenside irrigation system, ensuring the success of the course’s new state-of-the-art grass, Champion Turf Bermuda; re-designed native landscaping; re-shaped and re-built holes and bunkers; and all new laser-levelled tee locations featuring a minimum of four tees per hole.

The Palmer Course has a great series of finishing holes - with the 18th hole being one of the most difficult and picturesque par 5s on the property.
