Three resort courses anchor golf on this stretch of Florida’s Atlantic coast, and each one lets a visitor in on its own terms. In Palm Beach Gardens, the Champion at PGA National is tied to a room at the resort, with a per-round surcharge for the Bear Trap. On the island of Palm Beach, the Ocean Course at The Breakers is open only to hotel guests and club members, and its fees are quoted by phone. Down in Miami, the Blue Monster at Trump National Doral is the one you can book online without a room, at a published price. So the first choice is where you sleep, not which course you prefer. This page sets out who can play each, what it costs and how far apart they lie.

The Champion, where Jack Nicklaus shaped the 15th to 17th into one of golf’s most watched water stretches. Book a resort package up to 180 days out, and play it early in the stay in case a storm forces a rebooking.
Green fees & bookingThe Blue Monster, rebuilt by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner in 2014. Its tee times are sold online, and from 1pm the rate falls by US$100. The 18th runs beside a lake from tee to green.
Green fees & bookingThe Ocean Course, a par 70 of 5,778 yards that dates to 1897 and sits a short walk from the rooms at The Breakers. Wide paspalum fairways suit mixed groups, and a second course waits at Breakers West.

All Palm Beach & Miami golf packages on Golfbreaks
Doral is the one with a full price list. Until 23 December 2026 the Blue Monster costs US$695 before 1pm and US$595 after, cart included, plus tax, a US$37 forecaddie fee and a suggested US$40 tip per player. At PGA National, you pay a Champion surcharge on top of a golf package: US$175 in October and November 2026, US$225 from December to April and US$120 in summer 2027, with a US$49 nightly resort fee. The Breakers gives guest rates only by phone on (877) 724-3188, so ask when you reserve the room. At both Palm Beach courses the hotel bill is the biggest part of the cost.
Two airports cover this stretch of coast. Palm Beach International (PBI) is about 15 minutes from The Breakers and roughly 25 minutes from PGA National up I-95 or the Turnpike. Miami International (MIA) is eight miles from Doral. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) sits between them, around an hour from either Palm Beach course and 45 minutes from Doral. The two Palm Beach courses are about half an hour apart, and Doral is about an hour and a half south of both, so plan two bases rather than one. Brightline trains stop at West Palm Beach, a short taxi ride from the island, but you will want a car for golf.
The dry season, roughly November to April, is when all three courses are busiest and dearest. Forecaddies come with the Champion surcharge from 1 December to 15 April, and the Blue Monster is cart path only from 2 November to 8 March, which slows rounds. Two tour weeks take the big courses out of play: the Cognizant Classic at PGA National on 24 to 28 February 2027 and the Cadillac Championship at Doral on 3 to 7 March. Summer brings the lowest Champion surcharge, but also heat, humidity and afternoon storms, and the Atlantic storm season lasts from June through November.
Only the Blue Monster. Trump National Doral sells tee times online and by phone on +1 855 878 6700, with resident and prepaid rates. The Champion is played as part of a PGA National stay, and The Breakers keeps both its courses for hotel guests and members.
The Champion surcharge is US$175 a round in October and November 2026, US$225 from December 2026 to April 2027 and US$120 from June to September 2027. It sits on top of a resort golf package, which covers one round per night on the resort’s courses.
No. The course is the tournament venue from 24 to 28 February 2027. Tournament-week stays at the resort bundle daily grounds passes for one or two people, and any golf you play that week would be on the other courses.
It is gentler than the other two. Rees Jones rebuilt it in 2018 with bigger, sloping greens and fewer bunkers, and it measures 5,778 yards at most. For a longer round, the Rees Jones Course at Breakers West plays to 7,104 yards.
Fly into PBI for PGA National and The Breakers, and MIA for Doral. If you plan to play all three, fly into one and out of the other, or use Fort Lauderdale, which sits between them.
