PGA Of America "Divesting" St. Lucie Public Course, PGA Learning Center

In a letter to PGA Golf Club members, president Paul Levy announced the planned sale of the organization-owned St. Lucie Trail Golf Club and PGA Learning Center.

The PGA is retaining ownership of the rest of the PGA Golf Club facility in Port St. Lucie.

The letter to members of PGA Golf Club:

Attention buyers: St. Lucie gets solid reviews on GolfAdvisor.com.

More disconcerting, besides the sale of a public golf course at a time the PGA of America is so focused on growing the game, is the sale of the PGA Learning Center so close to their headquarters. Perhaps there is another element in the equation, but the "optics" are not great.
