DALLAS, Feb. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClubLife Management – a full-service management group dedicated to private clubs, premier resort and select daily fee golf courses – announces it will manage PGA National Members Club, the premier private country club at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Home of the PGA TOUR’s Honda Classic, PGA National offers five PGA championship golf courses and full country club privileges in a luxury resort setting.

“We are extremely proud to add PGA National, which brings a rich history of the game to our portfolio of clubs,” said Doug Hellman, Senior Vice President, ClubLife Management. “PGA National offers 90 holes of magnificent golf, including the Champion course, site of The Honda Classic, which just underwent a major renovation rebuilding and re-grassing greens putting the course in pristine condition for members, resort guests and the PGA TOUR players in February.
