PGA National Resort – The Staple

Grab a few short irons and a putter and get ready to have some fun. Brought to life by (and named for) the visionary golf course architect, Andy Staple, The Staple is 9 holes of pure, rollicking fun with holes ranging from 60-130 yards and featuring a variety of unique undulations, funneling shots, and in some cases, difficult-to-reach shelves. Or as Golf.com so aptly puts it, from tees in bunkers to putting ramps, PGA National’s new par-3 course is a different kind of test. Made out of 2 holes from the old Squire course, the overall design of The Staple provides a casual venue ideal for plenty of after-hours play and practice options, while keeping the design fresh and always fun to play (especially when welcoming groups of 8 golfers at a time). Plus, with the course’s unique figure-8 configuration at the crossing holes of 2-3 and 7-8, you can look forward to social interactions with other players at an outdoor seating experience. And with each hole playable by using only a putter, not only can you pack the woods away, but you can leave your long irons behind, too.
