at Perfect Drive Golf Villas at PGA Village

Golf is a game of integrity, almost always governed by expected standards of etiquette, but there are exceptions.

Typically the rules of golf determine which player among a group is first to play; whether it's on the tee, fairway or green, away always hits first. But to save time, the most prepared to hit may proceed with their shots; this is known as "ready golf", a solution capable of speeding up slow play and facilitating an enjoyable round of golf. Simply put, hit when ready.

Port St. Lucie's Perfect Drive Golf Villas at PGA Village operates under the same mantra. The well-equipped, fully-furnished Perfect Drive Golf Villas are an ideal home away from home for a day, a week or even a month. The "turn-key" style of living these accommodations provide is the perfect complement to this golf-centric destination. Simply put, drop your bags and hit when ready.

The three golf courses located on the grounds of PGA Village at The PGA Golf Club - four if you count the six-hole short course - are some of the best kept secrets in the golf-rich state of Florida, and all are open to the public.

In addition to 54 holes of championship golf, PGA Village is home to the 35-acre PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance featuring PGA of America Golf Schools and the PGA Historical Center, current home of the actual Ryder Cup.

At the innovative 35-acre PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance golf practice and instruction park, you can discover a better game through top PGA Professionals – the recognized experts in the game and business of golf – at a one-of-a-kind facility that enables you to focus on each aspect of your game. Features include: more than 100 full-swing practice stations, nine bunkers that simulate play from around the world, pitching and chipping practice areas, 7,000-square-foot USGA putting greens and a 3-hole teaching course.

In the summer of 2006, The Dye, Wanamaker and Ryder golf courses each underwent extensive renovations designed to take an already outstanding golf experience to a new level of excellence.

The Dye Course is a links-style layout that doesn't stray from Dye's distinctive design approach. The course plays 6,030 yards from the standard tees and features pine straw roughs, vast coquina waste bunkers and grass-based bunkers. It is reminiscent of older links designs found in the British Isles.

Named for the man who inspired the birth of the PGA of America, The Wanamaker Course is a classic Florida layout set against a backdrop of wetlands, palm trees and palmettos.

Opened in 1996, The Wanamaker Course (formerly the South Course) at The PGA Golf Club has hosted the 2003 PGA Cup, the Callaway Golf Senior PGA National Professional Championship, the TaylorMade-adidas Golf PGA Assistant Professional Championship, the Special Olympics National Invitational Championship and the National Minority Collegiate Championship.

Designed by Tom Fazio, the Ryder Course at The PGA Golf Club is named in honor of Samuel Ryder, the namesake and founder of The Ryder Cup, the preeminent international team competition in golf.

Also opened in 1996, The Ryder Course (formerly the North Course) is filled with rolling hills, majestic pine trees and challenging water hazards, elements that give the layout a distinctive Carolina feel. With various hole locations, you could play this course every day and find a different layout.
