We checked out the new PGA National Resort. It didn't disappoint.
Appropriately, the course is called The Match, and it isn’t rated by the USGA, which means there is no “par,” so golfers can’t keep a traditional score. Moreover, there are no tee markers. Holes are measured from the back and front of the teeing areas , but those starting areas are free-flowing and contiguous , which gives players the freedom to tee it up from wherever they’d like. In some cases, a hole’s length can vary by almost 175 yards based on a player’s chosen starting point.
From a design standpoint, The Match course is also one that can accommodate players of all ability levels, thanks in most part to a minimal use of bunkers. In place of traditional sand traps, Staples utilized a lot of mounding, where uneven lies can lead to off-balance swings —challenges that equally affect highly skilled as well as not-so-skilled golfers. “With a wedge in your hands and having a side-hill lie 80 yards away from a perched green, it makes you feel engaged,” Staples says.
