The Match Course at PGA National Resort is an Andy Staples design built exclusively for match play, featuring no tee markers, gambling half-par holes, and assertive putting surfaces that reference famous Raynor/Macdonald templates including the Knoll, Biarritz, Redan, and Punchbowl. Built over the top of the resort's former Squire Course, The Match offers a strategic, wit-based counterpoint to the power-demanding Champion Course next door.
