Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City is a private club. It is designed by Tom Fazio and was reconstructed in 2011 together with a new clubhouse and the Butch Harmon academy. It is a really good course and has been in perfect shape when I have visited. The Butch Harmon academy is run by Claude Harmon III and is a really high-class practice facility.

A stunning and difficult finishing hole at Floridian National Golf Club. It has the resemblance to some other great courses like Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass etc.. It takes 2 good shots to get on the green.

My experience

I you get a chance to play “The Flo” you should certainly take it. It is one the best courses I have played and has never failed to give me a serious challenge on my golf skills. Facilities are fantastic with a Spa and wellness area to relax, great food and beautiful well maintained golf course.
