PGA Golf Club (Ryder)
PGA Golf Club (Dye course): Just off I-95 above Port St Lucie you'll find the PGA Golf Club and its three excellent championship courses. This fabulous triumvirate, comprising two layouts by Tom Fazio (the Ryder and Wanamaker) and one by Pete Dye, are owned and operated by the PGA of America.
With its gently rolling terrain, pine trees and challenging water hazards the Ryder course exudes a distinctly Carolina-feel. The 17th and 18th holes return to the clubhouse alongside the outbound 1st and 2nd holes, but beyond that the two nines make their own separate anti-clockwise loops around unobtrusive housing.
There is plenty of width here for big-hitters, with less aggressive (though still excellent) bunkering than on the Dye course and fewer water hazards than on the Wanamaker. The course benefits from the PGA Golf Club's all-round excellent standards of upkeep and presentation. And its the quietest of the courses at PGA Golf Club, being the farthest away from I-95.
On a back-nine brimming with wonderful golf holes, the par-3 12th is beautifully framed by a small pond, good bunkering and an elegant lonesome pine. A small hill just behind the par-3 16th tee provides a very pleasant look-out over several of the back and front-nine holes.
Pick of the holes: includes the good-length par-5 4th which is wrapped around a small lake, its oyster-shaped bunkers accentuating the hole's charm and challenge.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
