Par 5545 Yards • Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Enhanced Content
Challenging

The 10th hole at PGA National Resort & Spa (Champion) presents a deceptively challenging par 5 that demands both power and precision across its 545 yards. This straight-away layout appears inviting from the tee, offering a generous fairway that encourages aggressive play, but the absence of significant hazards doesn't diminish its strategic complexity. The key lies in positioning for the approach to the small, subtly contoured green that punishes wayward shots with difficult recovery options. Smart players will favor accuracy over distance on their second shot, setting up a manageable short iron into the compact green complex. Despite its straightforward appearance, this hole rewards course management and punishes overly aggressive play, making it a true test of strategic thinking on PGA National's championship layout.
