The hotel

There’s nothing quite like playing golf where the greats do: this golfer’s paradise hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic every February, with living legends playing its famous Championship Course. Recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, as part of the hotel’s multi-million dollar renovation, it’s just one of 6 exceptional courses open to guests here. It’s not just the fairways that have been revamped; the PGA National Resort has also given a fabulous makeover to its renowned full-service spa, huge Sports & Racquet Club, guest rooms, and dining venues. The Butchers Club is a must try, serving signature dishes by famous celebrity chef Jeremy Ford.

I attended one of the golf mini-schools and Matt Hilton was phenomenal to work with. Incredibly knowledgeable and a straightforward teaching style. Learned more about how to approach the game in 3 days than I had in the prior 30 years.

If you’re serious about improving your golf game, instruction at PGA National is a game changer. The instruction is incredibly personalized, breaking down complex swing concepts into simple, actionable adjustments that deliver immediate results. What stood out most was the focus not just on mechanics, but also on tempo, strategy, and overall course management. Our instructor was Matt Hilton and can’t say enough about him. Great instructor. Great guy. I am completely new to the sport but after just a few sessions, I’m hitting the ball more consistently and play is much more fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to actually improve, not just take lessons. Read less

My son and I worked with Matt Hilton at the PGA school for two days and had a great experience. He worked great with my thirteen year old son and was able to break down his swing in a way he could understand. We both took a lot from his insight and see a significant improvement in our games.
