PGA Golf Club (Dye Course)

Overview: The Dye Course at PGA Golf Club is a Pete Dye design in Port St. Lucie that uses sandy waste areas, pine-straw rough, wetlands and bold strategic hazards to create a modern Florida links test. The directory card lists a par-72 course at 7,212 yards. Its visual language is unmistakably Dye: broad sandy spaces sit beside narrow targets, and the best line from the tee is often the one that opens the correct angle rather than the one that simply adds distance. The wetland setting gives the course texture as well as challenge.

History: The course opened in 1999 as part of the PGA Golf Club, the PGA of America’s flagship Florida property. It joined the Wanamaker and Ryder courses to create a multi-course destination with contrasting design styles. PGA materials describe the Dye Course as a links-style layout, and the club continues to present the course as one of the property’s three championship tests.

Did You Know? The course’s surrounding wetlands cover roughly 100 acres according to PGA material. That natural system is not merely scenery: it helps explain why the Dye Course has such large visual transitions between firm sandy playing areas, pine vegetation and water-related hazards.
