By PGA National Resort December 12, 2024

PGA National Resort is a legendary golf, vacation, culinary, events, family, and spa destination. The resort has completed a stunning $100 million revitalization, resulting in a dramatic transformation touching every aspect of the celebrated property. As part of the incredible transformation, the resort has added a unique and engaging new addition, the Banyan Buddies Kids Club, for the youngest resort guests.

With Banyan Buddies, parents can be assured that their children will stay engaged with an innovative activities menu.

Available for kids ages 4-13, the resort offers a variety of sessions from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM from Thursday - Sunday, as well as ‘Kids Night Out’ sessions on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM - perfect for date night at one of the fantastic celebrity chef-helmed restaurants! Banyan Buddies also offers birthday parties for kids – great for celebrating a special occasion with a group of friends or family!

With the kids entertained, parents can indulge in the luxurious spa, play a round on the 99 holes of championship golf, learn the fastest growing sport in America, pickleball, dine at the celebrity chef-helmed restaurants, and more.
