PGA National

PGA National is a large, well-known master-planned residential community in Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Beach County, anchored by the PGA National Resort & Spa, home to the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic played on its Champion Course. This is the PGA National Resort & Residential community in Palm Beach Gardens, entirely distinct from "PGA Village" in Port St. Lucie, which this site covers separately via Cresswind at PGA Village Verano; despite the shared "PGA" branding, these are two genuinely separate developments in different regions of Florida and should never be confused. PGA National is composed of roughly 40 to 46 separate homeowner-association neighborhoods, marketed broadly to all ages rather than as a 55-plus community, though this research did not locate an explicit statement directly confirming the absence of an age restriction. PGA National spans 2,340 acres and consists of roughly 5,000 residential homes across approximately 40 to 46 distinct neighborhoods or homeowner associations — sources give both figures for the neighborhood count, but they consistently point to essentially the same overall community scale. Housing spans a genuinely broad range of product types: condominiums, townhomes, villas, single-family homes, and dedicated estate neighborhoods. Pricing reflects this diversity, ranging from condominiums starting around $200,000 up to multimillion-dollar estate homes, giving PGA National one of the widest price ranges of any community profiled in this Palm Beach Gardens/Jupiter cluster. Golf is PGA National’s defining feature, and the resort’s own site lists five championship courses totaling 79 holes, including the Champion Course, which hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic. One secondary source cites six courses rather than five; given that the resort’s own primary site is the more authoritative source, the five-course, 79-hole figure is treated as accurate here, with the discrepancy likely reflecting an outdated reference or a since-closed or renamed course. The PGA National Resort & Spa functions as the community’s central clubhouse and amenity hub, combining a luxury resort, spa, and multiple dining venues, while the separate PGA National Members Club operates as a private social and golf membership entity distinct from the public resort. PGA National genuinely functions as a "community of communities" rather than a single unified development: each of its roughly 40 neighborhoods carries its own individual gating and HOA structure, distinct from the single-perimeter-gate model used at communities like BallenIsles, Mirasol, or Admirals Cove. The overall development is gated generally between 9pm and 6am, while several specific sub-communities — including Augusta Pointe, Diamond Head, Eagleton Estates, Eagleton Lakes, Grand Cay, Masters, Monterey Pointe, Pinehurst, and The Cove — carry their own manned gates for additional security. HOA dues vary correspondingly by sub-community, running as low as approximately $150 per month in some sections. Club membership, separate from HOA dues, is optional rather than mandatory for property owners, similar to the structure at Jonathan’s Landing. Membership fee figures show the widest discrepancy found across any community researched in this Palm Beach Gardens/Jupiter cluster: one source cites initiation fees of $50,001 to $75,000 with annual dues starting at $15,001; another cites considerably higher initiation fees of $150,000 to $250,000 with annual dues of $25,000 to $35,000; and a third, more granular source cites Full Golf initiation specifically at $75,000, Sports membership at $42,000, and Resort Social membership at $25,000, with Full Golf Family dues around $26,500. Given this substantial and genuinely unresolved spread, prospective buyers should verify current membership pricing directly via the resort’s membership office rather than relying on any single cited figure from this research. No Community Development District figure was confirmed specifically for PGA National. For healthcare access, PGA National sits centrally within Palm Beach Gardens, likely within a few miles of Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, though a specific sourced distance was not found in this research. For air travel, Palm Beach International Airport is reported at approximately 14.8 to 15 miles, roughly a 19-minute drive, per the resort’s own directions page, a genuinely convenient distance for residents who travel frequently.
