National Golf Schools has added a spectacular beachfront historic landmark that is known far and wide for exceptional service and ambiance, THE DON CESAR BEACH RESORT & SPA. Rising from sugary Gulf shores towers this romantic legend which blends European grandeur, seaside elegance and sweet sunsets with the enchantment of yesteryear. Known as Florida's Legendary Pink Palace since 1928, it is the only historic resort poised along the Gulf of Mexico from the Keys of Florida to the tip of Texas.

The Don exemplifies the grandness of America's traditional beach resorts as it casts a rouge glow across Pass-a-Grille Island from Boca Ciega Bay to the pearlescent sands of the Gulf. Its landmark architecture reflects a flamingo-pink, Mediterranean castle sharply chiseled against the blue Florida sky accented by Moorish bell towers and imperial turrets. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the St. Pete Beach resort charms discriminating guests with gracious service preserved from the Great Gatsby era of pampering.

Today, The Don welcomes guests with the classic charm of a castle-like beach resort capturing the Gulf's warm glow through soaring Palladian windows, endless French doors and sun-drenched gardens.

Interiors emulate European elegance with rich English Axminster carpets, Italian crystal chandeliers, French candelabras and fountains, and works depicting picturesque Florida. International influences are woven through the 277 European-styled guest rooms including 43 spacious suites. Enhanced by Carrara marble accents, all include breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico or Boca Ciega Bay. Twin, two-story penthouses offer the ultimate in exclusivity with sweeping views. Surrounded by a tropical paradise of palms and oleander, guests enjoy a plunge in one of two Gulf-front pools with underwater sound systems or shape up with aqua aerobics while serenaded by a steel-drum band. Complimentary beach clinics teach surf skimming on waverunners and catamarans, while paddle cats, kayaks and aquabikes part the waves. The Don is a one-of-a-kind place. Anyone that has ever stayed there will tell you that there is no comparison when it comes to the elegance it offers.

The Golf Course

The school will be held at Legacy Golf Club in Bradenton, 30 minutes South of the resort, across another of Florida's most scenic landmarks, the remarkable Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Legacy Golf Club is an upscale, 18 hole Championship layout that is different from anything else in the area. This award winning Arnold Palmer designed course has quickly earned its reputation as one of the premier courses in Southwest Florida. The impeccable service makes it a local favorite for visitors and locals alike. Located on a virtual nature preserve, wildlife abounds. This is an awesome golf course in a fantastic location and has been rated "Four Stars " by Golf Digest's Places to Play.
