12 Ways to Celebrate National Golf Month

Walk in the footsteps of golf's greatest players at two championship destinations. At Innisbrook Resort, the iconic Copperhead Course hosts the PGA TOUR's Valspar Championship and challenges golfers with its tree-lined fairways, rolling terrain, and the legendary Snake Pit, one of the most demanding finishing stretches in professional golf. At PGA National Resort, The Champion Course welcomes the PGA TOUR's Cognizant Classic and is home to the famed Bear Trap, a three-hole stretch that has tested many of the game's top competitors. Whether you're taking on Copperhead or The Champion Course, each round offers the chance to experience the strategy, precision, and excitement of playing where the pros compete.

Join Kevyn Cunningham, Director of Golf at Half Moon, as he guides you through this instructional video series. Covering everything from grip and alignment to the short game, these easy-to-follow clips offer valuable tips and techniques to help you sharpen your skills from home, so you’re ready for your next round.

Introduce young players to the excitement of the game with Innisbrook’s Junior Full Swing Clinic. Offered on Saturday mornings, this dynamic program focuses on mastering full-swing fundamentals where young golfers have the chance to enhance their skills in a fun and supportive setting. It’s the ideal way for kids to learn the basics of golf while connecting with other junior players and building lasting friendships.

Only the fearless venture into the Snake Pit at Innisbrook Resort. Perched at the 16th tee of the Copperhead Golf Course, home to the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship, the striking “Striker” snake statue stands ready for your photo op. Follow the cart path to the left of the 14th green for an easy walk from the Osprey Clubhouse. After tackling Copperhead, can you truly say you’ve played the course if you didn’t capture a #SnakePitSelfie?

Whether you're fueling up before your tee time or celebrating a great day on the course, our golf destinations offer exceptional dining just moments from the greens. At Innisbrook Resort, enjoy casual fare and scenic course views on the patio at Market Salamander Grille or savor premium steaks and fresh seafood at Packard's Steakhouse. At Half Moon, take in the fairway views from the 19th Hole Bar or plan an evening at Sugar Mill, Jamaica's most awarded restaurant, reopening in Fall 2026. At PGA National Resort, choose from a collection of distinctive restaurants, from the Michelin-recommended The Butcher's Club to chef-driven dining, casual favorites, and lively gathering spaces, making it easy to find the perfect spot before or after your round.

Returning December 12, 2026, the Half Moon Founders Cup continues the resort's long-standing tradition of combining championship golf with philanthropy. Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $16.8 million in support of charitable organizations across Jamaica.

The scramble-format tournament welcomes golfers of all skill levels and features team competitions, longest drive and nearest-the-pin contests, specialty on-course challenges and an awards celebration following play. Registration is available for teams of four with sponsorship opportunities available for businesses.

Every great golf trip deserves a photo to remember it by, and few backdrops are as iconic as the Bear Trap statue at PGA National Resort. Standing guard near the legendary Bear Trap stretch on The Champion Course, the larger-than-life bear has become a favorite stop for golfers before or after taking on one of the game's most celebrated finishing challenges. Snap a photo, celebrate your round, and take home a keepsake from one of golf's most recognizable destinations.

With decades of experience, Half Moon’s caddies are expert guides, offering invaluable insights as they navigate you through the Royal Palms and share their extensive knowledge of Jamaica’s culture and history. Four of our caddies have been assisting players on our 18-hole, Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed championship course since 1962.

Enhance your game and boost your style on and off the course with our wide range of premium golf gear and apparel from top brands like Adidas, FootJoy, Peter Millar, and more. Visit our pro shops at PGA National Resort, Half Moon and Innisbrook to swing in style and upgrade your golf equipment today.

After a day on the course, continue your golf getaway with restorative treatments designed to help you recover, recharge, and get back to playing your best. At Innisbrook Resort's Salamander Spa, golf-inspired services like the TaylorMade Massage and Golfer's Muscle Melter help ease post-round tension. At PGA National Resort, golfers can improve flexibility and mobility with the Golfer's Wellness Menu including a Muscle Recovery Massage, Green Tee Hot Stone Massage, PGA Signature Massage, and therapeutic wellness experiences like acupuncture and cupping. At Half Moon's Fern Tree Spa, the Sports Massage combines deep tissue techniques with full-range stretching to relieve muscle fatigue and support recovery, making it an ideal choice for golfers preparing for another day on the fairways.

A great golf getaway is about more than the scorecard. At Half Moon in Jamaica, Innisbrook Resort on Florida's Gulf Coast, and PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Salamander Collection brings together championship courses, inviting accommodations, and genuine hospitality to create places where friends, families, and fellow golfers can enjoy the game and each other's company.
