This is an ASGA Multi-Chapter Invitational at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Unlike other ASGA Multi-Chapter Events, this event is a 4 night / 5-day event and includes 3 rounds of golf. Arrive Thursday, January 2, 2025 - Depart Monday, January 6, 2025 (Add'l. nights available at reduced rate up to 1 day before and 3 days after our event is over.) OPEN TO ALL CURRENT ASGA MEMBERS Yes, you must be a member of ASGA at the time of the event to attend this multi-chapter event. To join or renew your membership in ASGA, go to www.SinglesGolf.com/join. We were at PGA National Resort these same dates in January, 2024 and many indicated they'd like to return. The Resort has given us favorable rates because 1) they like us and 2) we arrive on January 2nd after every visitor and vacationer heads home after the holiday. PGA National is a bucket list resort; it's been the site of the Honda Classic for 22 years and currently the venue for the 2025 Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches (playing the Champions Course February 27 - March 2, 2025). So, explore the various tabs on the left side of this website and sign-up soon. Save additional when you room with a friend, otherwise we cannot guarantee ASGA will provide a roommate for you . . . but we will try!

Your payment will allow us to sign a contract with the Resort securing a specific block of rooms. When we fill-up the block we will have reserved, we will seek to add more rooms if necessary but there is no guarantee rooms will be available as the public will be reserving rooms during this time period as well. So please don't assume you can wait until the last minute to register. GOT A ROOMMATE? And if you know you'll have a roommate, please get both of your registrations submitted at the same time, otherwise, you might be charged the room-by-yourself rate.

Getting To PGA National Resort If you're driving to this venue, you'll likely have some sort of GPS with you. So here's their information to put into your system: PGA NATIONAL RESORT 400 Avenue of the Champions, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida To visit the resort's website (PGAResort.com), click here Phone 800-863-2819 CHECK-IN TIME IS 4:00 PM CHECK-OUT TIME IS 12:00 PM If you're flying, you'll want to fly into PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL (PBI Airport). No shuttle service to the hotel is available, however, we suggest Uber, Lyft or a taxi to get you to the hotel. It's about a $25 charge each way. DO YOU RENT A CAR? That is up to you, however, think about this: you'll likely fly into Palm Beach International Airport (PBI Airport) which is about 77 miles north of Miami. From there, you could take an Uber, Lyft or even a taxi and get to the Resort. (Share that cost if you are with another ASGA member.) We were told it's about a $25 Uber ride from the PBI airport. So we don't suggest renting a car. The Resort will provide transportation to all your on-property venues. We'll have dinner on property three out of four nights and group transportation is provided for the night we have dinner off property. The golf courses at PGA National are just out the back door of the hotel. Yes, they really are! PARKING: If you drive to the Resort, there is free self-parking. Return to the Main Page for this Event
