5/14/2009 - Played the Dye course, the toughest of the three. What a great time we had, the course is laid out very well. Some very makeable pars and birdies, plenty of boggies. Posted by Don
4/2/2009 - We liked all three courses. We plan to come back next year. Posted by Linda (Pittsburgh, PA)
4/2/2009 - Really liked the course and also liked how all three courses were at the same place and could leave our golf clubs there all three days. Posted by Linda (Pittsburgh, PA)
2/23/2009 - Great courses well managed. Posted by Paul (Mississauga, Canada)
2/23/2009 - The food in the restaurant was good and wait staff responsive. The three courses were challenging and fun to play, especially the first two days when the temperature was in the 30's w/ 25 + mph winds. The fairways were thin but very playable. The greens were in excellent shape. The group of us (8) all thought the PGA only wanted to take your money and not so interested in customer relations. Although we played replays 4 times the price for replay was only $25 less than the normal rate of $100 plus tax. The 2nd negative was one of the guys got a hole in one and the pro shop would do nothing for him except try to sell him a hole in one plaque. What typically happens at the clubs were we play is the pro shop will register the person with the PGA send info to the equipment companies involved ie ball, clubs etc. Maybe where we play is the exception but we were suprised.

2/13/2009 - We loved the Wanamaker and Ryder courses. The Dye Course was in good condition but the layout was not good. You can hit a great drive 250 down the middle and you are in a pot bunker; this is not golf. I think we all agreed that if we came back we would not want to play this one ever again. Posted by Patrick (Montvale, NJ)
2/5/2009 - All of these courses are solid. Greens are much better than previous trips. Good breakfast buffet. Pro shop staff not much help and inconsistent with frost delay. Posted by Charles (Hopkinton, MA)
1/29/2009 - PGA Village/Golf Club is a great place. We played Ryder and Wannamaker on the same day. Had previously stayed "on campus" and accommodations were close and great. This year just 36 holes, got the two times and the two requested courses. Tee Times is good to work with, and PGA was expecting us, and "on time" tee off...all you can ask for...the courses are the best in this complex. Posted by Mike (Blythewood, SC).
1/25/2009 - The courses were in great shape and the staff were warm and welcoming. We look to return next year for a longer stay. Posted by William (Red Hook, NY).
1/2/2009 - Dye course was in great shape. Very difficult as Dye courses are. Well worth the drive. Posted by Gus (Miami, FL).
12/4/2008 - We played all three courses and they were all very nice tracks. The best was the Dye, followed by the Wannamaker and then the Ryder. We would certainly go back and play here as it was priced right and the club and staff was 1st class. They even shuttled us back to our condo one afternoon as a courtesy as one of our buddies had to take the car that day. Aside from golf and very good golf we thought, there isn't much else to do in the immediate area. Posted by Rene (Toronto, Canada)
11/20/2008 - Wannamaker course again a great golf course. Traps will blow your mind. We thought this was the toughest of all three. Posted by Paul (Toronto, Canada).
11/20/2008 - Ryder course in great shape and the easiest of the three. Posted by Paul (Toronto, Canada).
11/20/2008 - Dye course is beautiful and in great condition, but a tough track. Posted by Paul (Toronto, Canada).
11/3/2008 - This place is definitely worth the drive. It's an amazing place from the moment you drive in to the first and last shot of your round. The courses are all challenging and great fun. I would come back any time! Posted by Richard (Chatham Kent, United Kingdom).
7/17/2008 - Ryder Course was great and in very good condition. Dye course was difficult but it was great to play on both. They were in very good condition. Posted by Sy (Boynton Beach, FL).
6/19/2008 - Special thanks to the entire staff at PGA Village CC. All three courses were in terrific shape. Best of all, our group of 20 golfers were treated like family. The pro shop staff, restaurant staff, cart girls (and guy) and especially the on course assistants were professional, courteous, and extremely friendly. You guys are the best. Thanks for contributing to a wonderful weekend, and kudos to management team for putting together such a great team. Anyone can read you the rules on the first tee, tell you to pick up the pace, or dig a few beers out of the beverage cart, however, your team does it in a manner that screams "we love our job and we are glad you are here." We are looking forward to seeing you all again next June. Cheers!

4/24/2008 - The Wannamaker and the Dye courses were in very good condition. We were disappointed with the Ryder course. The greens on the Ryder course were less than to be desired and the course was kind of uninspiring. While the Dye and Wannamaker were in great shape and had a lot more character. Posted by Vic (Weston, FL).
4/3/2008 - Big operation, nicely kept courses but not all that special. Surprised that a complex like that deos not have GPS. Large number of local players helps minimize the feeling of a resort course but does slow down play considerably.

3/30/2008 - It worth the distance we had to make. Welcoming in general very good. Posted by Jean-Noel (Hypoluxo, FL).
3/25/2008 - All three courses were in great shape. I liked the Wannamaker best, Ryder second, and Dye third. The PGA Village is a great place to have a golf trip. The only negative thing is if you are looking for nightlife after golf, Port St. Lucie is not the place. Posted by Greg (Woodbine, NJ).
2/1/2008 - We played all three courses and they are all very challenging. Excellent condition, wonderful clubhouse with breakfast. Posted by Peter (Garden City, NY).
10/15/07 - Both the Ryder and Wanamaker courses were in great shape and were wonderful courses to play. Posted by Mike (Northborough, MA).
