Preston Estates is a neighborhood of about 180 custom estate homes within PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, behind its own gate. Homes look out on fairways, lakes and mature landscaping, and the PGA National Resort, its five championship courses and optional club membership are all close at hand.
Stefan’s take
Preston Estates is privacy done right: a 24-hour gate, oversized homesites and custom homes with courtyard pools. The grounds are spacious and green, and the pace is relaxed. It is one of the most distinguished addresses in PGA National.

Golf, Resort and Club Access
Preston Estates sits inside PGA National, so the PGA National Resort, its spa and dining, and five championship courses, including the Champion course that hosts the PGA TOUR’s Cognizant Classic, are just minutes from your door. Club membership is private and optional. Some homes come with one and many don’t, so you can choose golf, sports or social access, or none at all, to fit how you live. The PGA Property Owners Association maintains parks and green space across the community, which keeps the grounds spacious and the overall feel relaxed.
