DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Executive Meeting Center Palm Beach Gardens
Balcony rooms and poolside cabanas near PGA National
About this hotel
Eight minutes by taxi from PGA National Members Club, this Palm Beach Gardens hotel gives a golf group or a couple a straightforward base for a multi-round stay. Balcony rooms let each guest step outside for the Florida air before the shuttle carries the group off to an early tee time, and the outdoor pool with its cabanas turns the gap between morning and afternoon rounds into genuine downtime rather than a rush across town. The fitness center and hot tub answer the strain of a long day on the course, while the restaurant, bar and room service mean a golf society can regroup over dinner without leaving the property. Guests flying into Miami can settle in without renting a car, since the local shuttle and a short walk to Military Trail cover the essentials. What stands out is how little friction sits between the cabana, the shuttle and the first tee.

Our take
This DoubleTree suits a golf society that wants easy proximity to PGA National without resort-level spending, plus a shuttle that spares the group a rental-car scramble on arrival. The pool and cabana setup rewards a group happy to unwind on property between rounds rather than chase nightlife. Couples wanting an intimate boutique stay, or golfers expecting to walk straight onto a course, should look elsewhere; this is a practical staging point for a golf trip, not a resort itself.
- Book the shuttle for your first tee time instead of a rental car, since it spares the group the drive through Palm Beach Gardens traffic.
- Plan your stay for the winter dry season when South Florida courses play firmest, and lock in tee times before the group arrives.
- Claim a poolside cabana early in the afternoon after your round, since spots fill fast when a golf group books out the hotel.

Why guests love itI would choose the DoubleTree by Hilton Palm Beach Gardens for a golf group arriving without a car. The local shuttle handles transfers, and PGA National Members Club is about eight minutes away by taxi. Rooms come with balconies, and the outdoor pool with cabanas, hot tub and fitness center fill the afternoons after a round. A restaurant, bar and room service keep dinner simple. The 8.2 score from over 1,600 reviews makes it a dependable staging point.
