It was the home to the Professional Golfers' Association of America since the resort's establishment, but the PGA moved to new headquarters in Texas in summer 2022.

[11][12] An earlier PGA National Golf Club (1944–1962) was on the western side of the state at Dunedin, northwest of Tampa.

Designed by noted architect Donald Ross (1872–1948), it opened 98 years ago in 1927 as a municipal course.

The PGA of America moved its national offices from Chicago to Dunedin in 1956,[16] then sold its holdings in the course back to the city in 1962 and relocated to eastern Florida in 1965 at Palm Beach Gardens.

[15] Now the Dunedin Golf Club, the course was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
